90 MINUTES OF BLISS!



Award-winning esthetician Grace Gutierrez at Bellagio Spa & Salon at Newport Coast performs one of our preferred high-end facials: the Cellcosmet facial. It's 90 minutes of pure bliss for $170.

We're not the only ones who fell for Grace's rejuvenating treatment -- Rivera Magazine can't get enough of her; she's its triple favorite OC facialist winner.

The Cellcosmet facial is a revitalizing Swiss treatment unique for its high concentration of active cells that claims to restore youth vitality and protect against aging.

This anti-aging facial is perfect for those with rosacea, sensitive skin, and intolerance to glycolics or any other acid.

We adore Grace's pampering and professionalism. The beauty with a to-die-for Argentine accent is passionate about achieving radiant youthful skin, and she works wonders on men as well.

Grace also specializes in microdermabrasion, glycolic peels, lactic peels, eyebrow design, lash and brow tint, Brazilian bikini waxing, airbrush tanning and more.

Bellagio Spas and Salons at Newport Coast and Irvine offers professional results-oriented, skin-care treatments, massage and hot stone therapy in a calming European spa atmosphere.
