I've had two facials with Maria, and I can already see such a huge improvement in my skin. From my very first appointment, she really listened to my concerns and took the time to explain what my skin needed. She recommended great products, showed me the proper skincare routine, and customized each treatment for my skin and concerns. I was dealing with inflamed, red skin, and Maria recommended LED light treatment along with a follow-up plan. My skin has improved so much since then, and I finally feel like I'm on the right track with my skincare. Maria is amazing! Caring, knowledgeable, and incredibly talented at what she does. You can tell she truly wants the best results for her clients. I can't wait for my next appointment and highly recommend her to anyone looking for personalized skincare treatments! read more

I've been seeing Maria @ Lasting Impressions for a little over a year now. I wish I had before and after pictures but truth is I was so self conscious of my skin I was avoiding pictures of myself for a long time. I have Rosacea and very sensitive skin and postpartum has wreaked havoc on my hair and skin as well. Seeing Maria once a month for a custom facial and ensuring I make an appointment before I leave her office has been a game changer for my skin. More recently she performed a microexfoliating treatment that I LOVED. After my extractions and custom facial I spend some time under her light treatment mask. Whatever you are dealing with, Maria has the knowledge, experience and products for you. All of her products are clean and smell amazing - you can also pick up little gifts for friends/family/yourself while you're there. She puts a lot of thought and care into her work as well as how she runs her office. If you are concerned with COVID precautions, I promise you Maria has thought of everything and has got you covered. I drive 45 minutes each way to see her. Maria is a true professional and a lovely human being. Do yourself a favor and go see her! read more

I have been a client for 14 years. So much more than just a great facial. While going through my cancer treatment, 13 years ago, Maria recommended products for me while I went through my oncology treatment and radiation. She helped my skin, from the top of my then bare head to the damaged radiated sections under my arm that I couldn't see when I looked in the mirror (and therefore neglected to treat). She helped fade liver spots on my face that were a result of my chemo and stem cell treatments. So thankful for ALL her knowledge and expertise. read more
