Ria is an absolute gem. She is a master of her craft. The studio is gorgeous and pristine. Ria will transform your brows and you will enjoy the experience. read more

I asked for platinum blonde and that's exactly what Jessica gave me and without damage! I even go a few extra weeks to give my hair some air between touch ups and even switch up the tone occasionally but she always there right by my side, pampering me and keeping me informed and educated on what products to keep me hair happy and healthy!!! read more

I've been following Jess Kenna for years, and I will continue to do so at her new location. As much as I would like to keep her for myself, she's too good not to share. Jess is skilled in all types of hair; mine is especially difficult, (unmanageable and curly) but her cuts are spot on, and I can maintain the style. I have the hair I always wanted. I ALWAYS get compliments. I trust her implicitly. read more

Did a brow wax and tint for my wedding and it was the perfect combination of clean/messy. Can't wait to go back.

I have been trusting Maria with my eyebrows for close to four years now. I have followed her to different salons and I am THRILLED to follow her to her own spot now. I have very full eyebrows and have gone to so many places over the years, but it's Maria that I trust implicitly. She's always honest with me about what looks good for my face and truly takes the time to make me feel beautiful when I leave her chair. She's so good that I even got my mother to go see her (and have sent other friends to her as well!). Now, during a pandemic, I know that Maria is making all of her clients safe with her strict sanitization procedures-which I've seen! I can't say enough good things. Although regret writing such a stellar review if I can't get an appointment myself... read more

Maria is AMAZING. I first found her on Instagram, and drove alllll the way from Pasadena in the rain to see her. Usually I get out of brow appointments with brows I sort of like. But after I left Maria's, I LOVED my brows. That was a first. I came in with crazy brows and somehow she shaped them perfectly!! I never want them to grow out. Also she is so nice!!! She doesn't talk too much if you don't like to talk, but talks a lot if you're a talker. So she's great at reading your body language. She's also very welcoming, and I felt like she was super nice even though I came in my worst sweats. Not condescending at all. read more

Jess has been doing my hair for about 10 years. I wouldn't trust anyone else. She's the absolute best! Sit in her chair once, and you'll never want anyone else to take care of your hair. read more

I wish I could give RIA MEZ more than 5 stars ************ Maria is by far the best aesthetician I have ever been to when it comes to my eyebrows. I followed her from the Benefit Beauty Bar on 3rd. Funnily enough her last day there was the first day I got my brows done with her. I was sold after that. I will follow her where ever she goes. My brows have had their share of embarrassing stories, but this isn't the time for those. Maria is a miracle. Legitimately. My brows have NO shape, in fact I'm always asked if I'm okay because I have such "SAD EYES". But Maria not only shapes them to perfectly fit my face, but she also doesn't make me look like Groucho Marx! Most places wont even bother aligning the dye or shape, But Maria is detailed and always delivers perfection. If you need brow deliverance from the depths of hell, Ria Mez will save them and some! read more

Maria is absolutely the best! I've gone to several people over the years to get these brows together, but no one does it like her. Not only is she a delight, but her work is too. I've only gone to her twice now, but I guarantee she will be the only person to my brows again. She shapes them perfectly, and her brow tints also give me so much life. She is affordable and readily available. HIGHLY recommend. read more

Got my eyebrows done for the first time with Maria and I walked out very happy and pleased! Not only was she supper sweet but she also explained to me how each part of my brow should look for my face shape. I loved that my appointment didn't feel rushed and she took her time to answer all my questions about my brows. I will definitely book my next appointment with Maria! read more

Amie has such great energy. Love how careful and meticulous she is about her work. She listens and reads her clients well and can adjust her work to meet their expectations. read more

Iv been going to Maria for years, she is by far the greatest in the business with impeccable skills. She is very good at what she does and astonishing results to the T every time! I would never let anyone touch my brows but Maria. I highly recommend Maria as she is super cool, friendly, and extremely courteous. Shes easy to work with and you wont ever be disappointed. Oh and she is fairly priced too :) If you read this review, your cool af and alway super awesome. Keep up the good work! Lots of love!!!! read more

No lie: I have had TWO first dates tell me, "I know this sounds weird, but you have really amazing eyebrows." And you know what, it IS a little weird. But it's true. I have amazing eyebrows, and Maria is the person to thank for that. When I first decided to get my brows done pro-style, 4 or 5 years ago, I did a ton of research and found Maria when she was at Benefit on 3rd. I've sat next to well known actors who trust her to get their brows right (and when you have your larger-than-life mug on a screen, you clearly take that shit seriously). Maria is sweet and kind and easygoing and a complete brow ninja. Easy peasy making appt's online. And don't just get them shaped...get them dyed! Best! read more

Amazing,ponctual, professional! Ria Mez has a vison for everyone, i didn t know Brows could make such a difference, i have never looked that good. The salon looks great and the team is welcoming. The prices are so fair given that you get a Brow artist consultation taylormade to your visage. I will definitely be back. Thank you Ria read more

Although I have not been to the new location Jessica has been doing my hair for years. I can't imagine going to anyone else for color, cut, and style. She works her magic on my hair no matter what the length or my age. Jessica will be my go to stylist forever. read more

Jess Kenna goes beyond talent - she incredibly skilled and knowledgeable in her craft. Everyone says their hairdresser is the best, but they might not have gone to Jess Kenna. She diagnosed my scalp psoriasis after years of annoyance and finally helped keep my ridiculous flaking at bay. Not only did she give me a cut that DRASTICALLY reduced my shedding, but she got me on a full regimen that has CHANGED my hair game. I no longer just throw it up in a pony tail. I went back to my old hair routine to use up some of the old stuff, and everything went right back to normal (i.e. flaky and un-fabulous) , so that's how I know what she recommended works. Honestly the whole experience with Jess is jaw dropping. My entire life I swore by the supercuts or salon schools to get my haircut, because I had curly hair and "it allowed for mistakes" (my saying). After being friends with Jess for years, I finally decided to make the leap and wow. I can see how going to a skilled professional (especially JESS) is so so so worth it. I've never felt more secure with my routine. Will be going back. read more

Maria is my go-to for brows! I started seeing Maria for brow waxes when I moved to LA a few years ago and won't go to anyone else now, even though I've since moved over an hour away. My friend introduced me to Maria when she worked at Benefit. The first time I went, she advised me not to do anything to them that day, and to let my brows grow out more before coming back. I appreciated that she stopped me from getting a wax just for the sake of it. Now that I've moved over an hour away, I make an appointment with Maria when I have other plans that take me to the neighborhood. She's incredibly nice and relaxed, and I enjoy catching up with her every time I see her! If you want amazing brows that people notice, go see Maria! read more

Maria is a BROW GENIUS!!! I feel ridiculously lucky to have found her and I'm never letting go!!!! I have full brows and she shapes them so beautifully every single time. Maria is the BEST of the BEST. I've been going to her religiously and exclusively for 4 years. She also tints my lashes every few months and does an amazing job!!! I've been to ALOT of brow & lash stylists and Maria is A STAR!!!! And the cost is so reasonable!! Please book with her before she becomes another Anastasia and no one can get in to see her besides Oprah read more

Hadn't tried waxing before but after finding all these amazing reviews on Maria I had to try it! I was not disappointed and she is now my one and only brow artist. I always leave her chair feeling like a brand new person. Thank you so much Ria Mez read more

Maria's been shaping my eyebrows for over 5 years now and I've never left an appointment disappointed! Not only does she take her time with her work, she always makes sure to consult with me before she gets started so I know what's happening to my brows. When I wanted to grow my eyebrows out to be a little fuller, she worked with me to help shape and grow the hairs back. She's so helpful in providing feedback from an aesthetician's point of view on how hair grows, the timeline of growth, and what I can do (easy home DIY's) to get the look I want. The tools she uses are clean and she makes sure to disinfect/clean after each appointment. I also appreciate that she takes the time to clean her hands before touching my face too. Maria's truly down to earth and really easygoing. Never does she make you feel awkward or uncomfortable. I feel like I'm just chatting it up with my friend as I get my brows done. HIGHLY recommend Maria for all your brow and lash needs! read more

Ria is my go to eyebrow girl - stumbled across her magic about 5 years ago now and she has nurtured my brows into the amazing shape they are today. I've just followed her to her new studio on Melrose. Thanks to Ria my brows have returned to a fabulous thick and luxurious shape! She even introduced me to tinting - this is the trick girls! read more

Today was my first time with Maria and I have to say I give her props! I always struggled in giving my eyebrows a shape. I've done the wax elsewhere before and Maria's marvelous job and attention to detail was spectacular!. I love how my eyebrows look now. Defiantly my go to place! I will not trust anyone else more than her with my face. The eyebrow waxing was almost painless. She makes you as comfortable as possible while working and great environment too. If you want to see her work you can find her on instagram as RÍA/MEZ (this is how I heard of her) read more

Maria is the absolute best! She consistently does a perfect job on my brows -- every single time they are even & perfect. She is diligent but quick, and always makes sure you're happy with the final look before leaving. Cannot recommend her enough for beautiful, shaped brows!! read more

I absolutely love Maria! Not only does she have a super chill energy about her but she's also very well educated when it comes to brows which I NEEDED in my life. I learned a lot from her in the 15 min I was there(which felt like 5 min ). Can't wait to keep coming back and getting my eyebrows to their full potential. read more

I can't say much. Maria is amazing. I go where she goes =) I've done my eyebrows for a very long time on my own because I gave up on others messing up my eyebrows. One day, I decided to have someone do my brows since I didn't have much time to do my own. Word of mouth "Maria is the best" I put my eyebrows in her hands and she came through. Done and Done read more

Amie is incredible! She has been doing my brows and lashes for years, and I have never had anything less than a perfect service with her. She is very detail oriented and will make sure you are happy with the results before you leave. I recently did a lash lift for the first time and Amie walked me through the entire process so there were no surprises and I am in love with the results. In short, she's the best! read more

Maria is awesome! She did an amazing job on my brows! Go see her!

Maria is AMAZING! She really caters to your needs. I've finally found my brow guru :D

Obsessed! My brows and lashes have never looked better

Stop researching. You've found your new brow place. I have very patchy and sparse lashes/brows and Maria somehow magically transforms my lashes and brows into dark, shapely things and you'd never know they're such a disaster underneath. On a personal level, she's super nice, laid back, non judgmental, but always highly professional. I followed her from Benefit where I first started going to her. read more

I don't trust anyone else with my brows other than Maria. I have been her client for what, three years or so? She's that good. And you're welcome for the tip. I don't let anyone touch my brows other than her. So, I'm sorry I come in with wild ass brows but thank you for cleaning them up EVERY TIME! read more

Maria is a true artist and brow expert. I get a brow wax and tint and my brows have never looked so good! I love her new spot at Beauty Balm Studio. It's super cute and the parking is fantastic - much better than 3rd Street! Book with Maria, you will not be disappointed! read more

Maria is the absolute best! I've trusted her with my brows for years. I get the trio: lash and brow tint with a brow wax. I have very sensitive skin and she's helped me find the combination of tints, waxing, and tweezing that work best for me. She always listens to what I want and keeps my brows as full as possible. As a very light-skinned person with blonde hair, I'm always worried about getting the right tint and shape. Maria makes them perfect every time. I always get compliments! read more

I've gone to many brow specialists over the years but Maria is my FIRST guru! I met her at Benefit where she had great reviews already as a top Benefit Cosmetics brow artist so I went to her and saw my brows be perfectly shaped (even when they were uneven she made them look perfect) and then the tint was amazing. The illusion of having Cara Delevigne brows due to Maria's badass tint jobs, was epic. Anyway, fast forward a year later and I've followed her to her new practice at Beauty Balm Studio on Melrose. Her waxing method stimulates hair growth in places where my brows had been sparse, and are now growing in and filling out! My brows have literally transformed going to her and I cannot go to anyone else! She also has a few A-list celebrity clients so, it's a no-brainer that she should be your #1 choice. read more

Ria is the absolute best, I can not recommend her enough. Not only is she extremely sweet and attentive but she's highly skilled at all she does read more

Ria is amazing! Every month I go to her and every month my brows get better and better. I strictly tweeze with her and she is so talented. Great pricing too! She's my go to for sure! read more

Ria is amazing at tinting and shaping! I'm so happy she has her own studio! :)

María is the best at what she does. She has been doing our brows for about 2 years and each time it's perfection. She has a truly unique talent for shaping your brows to best enhance your look. I would definitely recommend Maria. read more

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! I've been seeing Maria for years! No one better. No one nicer. Her new spot is really nice too.

Maria is the absolute best. I have been going to her for years and trust no one else with my eyebrows!
