I met Maria several years ago when she was doing gel nails. She was a perfectionist who used fine products so when I needed to have the color removed from my eyebrows (done elsewhere) I naturally sought her out. The studio is very clean, airy and secure. During the consultation, Maria took the time to explain the process in a thorough, scientific manner. She answered all of my questions and was able to book my appointment within the week. At the actual appointment, I was nervous that I might feel the process. Maria placed the numbing gel on my eyebrows, gave it time to do it's job then started the procedure. I kept anticipating feeling the micro blades injecting the glycolic acid into my eyebrows, but her touch is such that it felt as though she was only brushing my eyebrows with a firm brush. While she did this, she explained each step in between chatting which was a great distraction for me. I have had two sessions for color removal and the color is coming out in stages as she explained. I can hardly wait for the end result! I have also seen the work she does with permanent make up and it always looks meticulously and beautifully done. read more

Maria's professional and ethics are amazing. A genuine sweetheart!!! 5 starts for sure, will recommend to my friends and family. Thank you Maria! read more

Brows were amazing and she was so so sweet! can't wait to go back again for more services!

I've been going to Maria for years. I started off with microblading and continued with my two year refresher. My skin is very oily and the last person I went to my eyebrows didn't take. With Maria, she takes her time and has a 6 week touch up to maintain the perfection. My eyebrows look natural and I absolutely love them! Maria is kind, professional and responsive. Your investment in your beauty last years and makes me feel confident. Thank you Maria! read more

Maria is very talented. I've had previous work done on my eyebrows years ago but I was never truly happy with them (not very natural looking). I hesitated on getting them done again but after seeing Maria's work I made my appointment and she so graciously booked me that weekend. Maria did an amazing job with my eyebrows and I absolutely love them! They look very natural and beautiful. I specifically love that she educates you on how it all works! So, if you haven't seen her educational videos...you should! Because ignorance isn't always bliss. Professional, smart, confident and very kind. I will definitely be returning to Maria as needed. In fact, I can't wait for my touch up! Thank you, Maria! read more

Let's just say this... Maria is AMAZING! I will NOT have anyone else EXCEPT Maria touch my eyebrows!! Right before the pandemic shutdown, I got my first microbladed eyebrows from a different artist that did not listen to any of my requests and permanently put horrific block eyebrows on my face. I left feeling hopeless, angry, and extremely self conscious. I reached out to Maria (referred from a friend) who does lightening removal treatments and I sent her my photo. She told me to come in on her day off to see me right away! She was so caring and did an immediate saline eyebrow removal. There was a huge difference! She told me it's going to take patience and more treatments to completely remove my previous eyebrows. After say about 5-6 treatments, my eyebrows are completely back to my natural eyebrows. Everyone's treatment is going to be different because it depends on the depth the previous artist drew. With that being said, I cannot thank you enough Maria! You're literally the best! I hope to someday (very soon) have Maria reshape and PROPERLY draw out my eyebrows again. She is very talented, compassionate, and will take care of you! Trust me! Thank you Maria! read more

Maria was fantastic. Very professional Explained the treatment in detailed. Thank you Maria

I had my eyebrows Micro-shaded back in November 2021. Maria did such a great job from start to finish. She takes her time to explain the process, answered my 20 million questions, calmed my nerves before starting, was very gentle, and has been available for any questions since. She knows what she's doing but best of all....she LOVES what she does and it shows! I am ever so grateful for her. read more

I'll admit, I saw the "weeks after" picture and I was skeptical. No way do nails stay on for 6 weeks and still look good. I WAS WRONG!!! Here I am 6 weeks later and I still get compliments on my nails! Maria was great and took her time. Not once did I feel like she was cutting corners to finish faster. She was nice and made me feel comfortable. She is all about doing amazing work and doing it right. My nails looked amazing and I couldn't stop looking at them. Thank you Maria!!! read more

Maria is amazing all the way around! Great to converse with which makes the time fly. There's always parking and the studio is always immaculate. Maria takes her time to explain the process you chose in detail. I've never felt rushed and always feel welcomed. Not to mention I leave an extremely satisfied customer every time. read more

Maria is incredible!!! Extremely knowledgeable, personable and professional. I was nervous to get my brows tattooed in my 60's, but Maria allayed my fears by being very easy to talk to and explaining everything beforehand; the procedure and the science behind it, the difference between the various tattoo techniques, and post procedure care to get optimum results. We discussed the shape, and she showed me numerous examples of her prior work so that I could make an informed decision. I opted for microblading plus shading as I have very sparse brow hairs, and the few that are left are white. Maria's studio is spotless, her implements, sterile, and the entire process was painless through the application of numbing cream. I couldn't be happier with the end result. There was really no downtime as scabbing/flaking was minimal, my brows look amazing and completely natural, and I save a ton of time not having to pencil them in and redo it a million times because they end up lop-sided :). I have already booked my next appointment with Maria to get eyeliner tattooed! read more

This way overdue!!! Maria is simply amazing. As a new mom, I just don't have the time to get ready. I also didn't want the stark solid eyeliner look. I knew I wanted the softer designer eyeliner. After a lot of research, even as far as LA, I decided to go with Maria. From the second I stepped into her suite, I felt comfortable. She made sure I knew what she was doing every step of the way. I'm grateful that she knew the exact amount of pressure to use because I was worried about how painful it might be. It's almost a year later and I'm still so happy with the results! You'll be in good hands here! read more

I recently seen Maria and got my eyebrows done. I truly recommend seeing her. I was nervous about the pain and didn't feel anything. I actually fell asleep. I love the results. Thank you Maria read more

I could not have asked for a better person to go through with my first microblading experience than with Maria. I've been nervous up to the day of the appointment but Maria made it as comfortable for me as it could be. I appreciated how much time she dedicated to just discussing what I wanted and draw out how my brows would look like. In my initial research of microblading, I had thought about going to Koreatown in Los Angeles the next time I went down to visit my parents but I read about how quick most of the places just want to get the clients in and out, without much consultation and without drawing out the brows. So when I read that Maria's allocated time with you would be three hours, I was impressed. This guarantees that she wouldn't rush and what she would be doing with you and that is important when it comes to this type of procedure. She tells me that she uses the best products for this procedure and I believe her since I've seen pictures of the other thing that she does at her salon: nails. She uses the best gel, so her clients nails last a long time from what you can see in her your pictures. I was pretty shocked when I first saw my completed brows. They were dark but she explained to me that once the healing process is over, they will look much lighter, and that I would be going through a range of emotions. She was right. It has been six days since the procedure and I see that this is happening. Everyone is complementing me on the shape and how well my brows look. I can't wait until the healing process is completely over with. Base upon what I see later after my brows have healed, I may go back in to get a touch up. It definitely hurt a little but it was well worth it. Thanks Maria! read more

Maria is a great nail artist! I hate going to the nails places because their acrylic usually cracks, lift, breaks, or chips. The quality of gel that Maria uses is great. Right away you can feel the difference. And it doesn't have all of the chemicals that other nail artist use, I think you can call this "organic gel." Maria is also very precise with her work. She is not sloppy nor does she work fast. She takes her time and does quality work. Before I went to her, I looked at many other places and pictures, I am very pick with the shaping of nails. The pictures I saw on her page were quality nails. Yes, she is a little more compared to other places but its worth it. I would recommend this place if you are looking for quality, lasting nails. read more

Maria is very professional and talented at what she does. She took the time to explain the procedure to me. We discussed the shape and color before she started to work on my eyebrows. I couldn't be happier with the end results. I had no scabbing or flaking. My eyebrows look amazing and natural, I am very happy with them. I totally trust her and will be going back whenever I need to. Thank you, Maria!!!! read more

Nailed it...Love my latest set of Nails! Maria does an absolute stunning job every time. So you can imagine her schedule is tight. I had to wait 4 weeks for my appointment but it's definitely worth the wait. No other nail salons that I found have done or does pure gel nails. All the rest use acrylic that cracks or breaks. I love that I bring in my design inspiration and Maria can make it happen. read more

I love my brows. Maria is a perfectionist and it shows in her work. I have always struggled with my brows because they are naturally sparse. I have wanted to do my brows do a long time now but always feared that they would not look natural or too harsh changing the way I had to apply my makeup. Maria was patient and very friendly, not to mention she is super clean in her environment and work. I am so happy I did it. My family members didn't know that I got them done. The only reason they noticed that I had them done was due to them being perfectly symmetrical. Did I mention I love them? I do. Total game changer!! Thank you Maria!! read more

I absolutely love the work. This was my first time getting microblading work. She explained everything to me, all the science that goes into this procedure, the before and after care, what I will experience. She was available day and night if I had any questions I could text her. The whole experience was beyond phenomenal. read more
