Facials Are Here: Meet the New Menu from Your Sacramento Facial Esthetician
Custom facials have officially launched at Beauty & Balance by Bella. Here's the full new menu — Signature Glow, Grand Ritual, Renewal Peel, and Velvet Dermaplane — plus what makes a licensed Sacramento facial esthetician different.
Custom facials have officially opened at Beauty & Balance by Bella — a licensed facial esthetician in Sacramento’s downtown grid. After a long, careful build, the studio is now welcoming skin clients alongside its existing massage and makeup rooms. This post is a plain-English walkthrough of the new menu, what each treatment is best for, and how it fits into the studio’s one-client-at-a-time philosophy.
What a “facial esthetician” in Sacramento actually does
A licensed facial esthetician performs skin treatments — facials, peels, dermaplaning, extractions, and non-invasive resurfacing — regulated by the California Board of Barbering and Cosmetology. Estheticians don’t diagnose, prescribe, or use injectables; we maintain and improve skin using consistent, tailored care. In practice that means:
- Analyzing your skin at every visit — not once a year.
- Choosing products, actives, and acids for your skin, this month.
- Building a home routine you’ll actually maintain between visits.
- Working with, not against, other providers (derms, med-spa injectors, barre instructors, etc.).
Bella is fully licensed by the California Board of Barbering and Cosmetology — verify a California esthetics license any time at barbercosmo.ca.gov.
The new Beauty & Balance facial menu
Four treatments, all customised to the person on the table:
1. The Signature Glow Facial — $100 · 60 min
The Signature Glow is the studio’s classic sixty-minute facial. Every session is calibrated to what your skin shows up with that day: cleanse, exfoliate, extract as needed, mask, and finish with a long facial massage. If you’ve never worked with a licensed Sacramento facial esthetician before, start here.
2. The Grand Ritual Facial — $145 · 90 min
Ninety minutes of extended skin care. Everything in the Signature Glow, plus deeper facial massage, décolleté work, and a longer treatment mask. For clients who want the full slow ritual, or who have skin that needs more time to respond.
3. The Renewal Peel — $110 · 60 min
A professional chemical peel tuned to your tolerance and goals. Peels can smooth texture, brighten uneven tone, refine pores, and support healthier turnover of skin cells. The treatment includes prep, neutralize, and clear post-peel guidance so you know exactly what to do at home for the next 5–7 days.
4. The Velvet Dermaplane — $110 · 90 min
Dermaplaning gently removes dead surface cells and peach-fuzz (vellus hair) using a sterile, single-use blade. The result is soft, luminous, camera-ready skin that also lets your serums penetrate better and your makeup apply more smoothly. The Velvet Dermaplane is a ninety-minute treatment that finishes with a soothing mask and SPF.
Ritual enhancements
- Diamond Polish (Microdermabrasion) — +$25. A diamond-tip resurfacing pass added to a Signature Glow or Grand Ritual facial. Instantly smoother, brighter skin.
- Golden Hands Ritual (hand & arm scrub) — +$10. A warm sugar scrub with massage for hands and forearms — small add-on, big feel.
- Petal Lip Ritual (lip scrub) — +$10. A gentle exfoliating polish to soften and plump the lips.
Which facial should you book first?
- New to the studio, general glow? → Signature Glow.
- You want the full slow experience? → Grand Ritual.
- Uneven tone, dullness, texture? → Renewal Peel.
- Big event, portrait, or bridal countdown? → Velvet Dermaplane.
- Still not sure? Send a note through the contact form — Bella will recommend based on your skin and goals.
Why a small, licensed studio (and not a chain)
Chain spas are built for throughput. A one-room Sacramento facial esthetician studio is built for attention:
- One client at a time — never double-booked.
- Products & actives chosen for your skin, not the schedule.
- Ten minutes of check-in before every treatment — every visit.
- A slow, unhurried exit. You don’t leave shocked back into your day.
Where the studio is
Downtown Sacramento — a short walk, bike, or scooter from Midtown’s core (R Street, Sutter District, Lavender Heights, and the Ice Blocks). Curtis Park and Land Park are a quick drive with easy street parking. The exact address is shared upon booking to keep the studio calm for the client currently inside.
