Do you feel the vibration in the steering wheel. What kind of wheels do you have. Alloy wheels are a little tricky to balance and if you have a new person balacing it they may try to counterbalance if you look at your wheel there should only be one weight on the inside and the outside. Not all over the place like 2 or 3 at different spots.
Another thing is if you have aftermarket wheels and your wheels are balance make sure they are hubcentric. If not you will have to get hub rings or lugcentric nuts that center your wheel to the hub. Or you will get crazy vibration. To get a visual idea you can see the plastic ring that goes over the hub to center the wheel. Without it the wheel can be installed crooked/slightly off center. This can be temporarly corrected till you can purchase them if that is the case if someone holds the wheel centered best as possible while someone quickly zips them down with a impact. Verses hanging the wheels ont he car and then ziping them down which is what everyone does 99.9 percent of the time.
