I was a bit nervous for my first waxing, I was expecting the worst, and I was wrong. There was barely any pain! Irina was very nice, comfortable, and very knowledgeable! The facility is clean and private, not hard to find, with plenty of parking around. I really enjoyed my experience, and left with a smile on my face! read more

So I can't speak highly of Irina and her studio. It's been two years, and I am back for more treatments - facials & IPL. I've been sending friends here and my husband. Irina is so good at what she does, and she does it without trying to push anything, sell anything or in any way pressure the client to commit to anything. I can't recommend this place highly enough. It's a rare, rare gem. read more

Absolutely loved this place! It was my first time waxing anywhere on my face (I did upper lip and chin). Irina's sister was very helpful and telling me how to take care of my skin afterwards. It was pretty good pricing for the results and the service. It's week two since the wax and there's barely any stubble. So glad I was able to find this place thanks to Yelp! read more

I've been meaning to write a review and just haven't gotten around to it, so now is better late than ever! This place is fabulous. It's my go-to for waxes now. They're very clean and organized. And the ladies there are always so pleasant. I never feel uncomfortable or rushed. They also use hard wax which is typically preferred by everyone. I also really like that there is a calm ambience about the place so I'm relaxed. read more

Lana did a fantastic Brazilian wax. I'll definitely be returning.

This was my first visit to the salon and I loved it. Lana is wonderful with skin services

Irina was great! She uses hard wax (way better and more sanitary and less painful than strips) and she is quick and efficient. She is thorough but keeps you distracted and is happy to provide tips for aftercare. Price is very reasonable too--pretty competitive for the are. There are various products sold in the studio but there is no pressure to buy anything. Look out for deals on their Facebook page and if you go there and "like" their Facebook page in front of them you get $5 off! Will definitely be returning and will absolutely try out the other services. read more

Wonderful experience and I'm a tough customer to please! Plenty of parking, easy to get to. Irina was wonderful not just with my facial but in her taking the time to do a full skin care and make up consultation. This place is a hidden gem in Brighton. read more

Irina is a truly wonderful esthetician! She has such a passion for skin care and her clients. I've been going to her monthly for 6 years and she customizes my facial treatments each time depending on my skin's condition. There's no other esthetician more knowledgable, experienced, professional, and able to give you the most comfortable experience. Whether it's a micro derm facial or brazilian wax, I leave so happy & 100% satisfied every time. read more

A few weeks ago I went to see Irina R for a facial and my skin still feels and looks absolutely radiant! Irina was absolutely wonderful. She was gentle and thorough. It was so relaxing! She also helped me establish a skincare routine and find products that really worked great on my skin, and are keeping it free of breakouts! Overall a fantastic experience. read more

I've been going for almost a year and the changes in my skin are just great. Working with Adrina to correct my congested pores (too much work + not washing acne prone skin = bad bad skin) has been a little journey. She gives good recommendations on products and fixes without ever pushing a sale, something a lot of places aren't conscientious about. Same goes for up-selling any additional procedures. The clarity and brightness of my skin since starting is something I've never been able to match with at home facials alone, and it has inspired me to keep it up with better nightly care on my own. The team is friendly and caring, and the studio is always clean and calming. Can't wait to see how another year goes! read more

After terrible Brazilian experiences in the past, I couldn't believe how painless my waxing experience was here. I was like, wait- did you start yet!? Everyone is super nice, and the price can't be beat. I will never go anywhere else! read more

I have been going to Skin Studio for a few years now and I couldn't be happier! The location is convenient and has parking! Lana is my skin care expert and does flawless waxing and amazingly relaxing facials. The waxing part is always quick and efficient (and as tolerable as it can get for waxing hair off your body haha). The girls at the front desk are SUPER friendly and pleasant. I used to live around the corner, but i moved 40 minutes away and I am remaining a loyal Skin Studio client! Trust me, it's worth the drive. read more

I had a 75 minute facial with a corrective peel from Lana yesterday, which has a price tag of $140, and I left feeling really disappointed. The facial itself was good, but not fantastic like I had read in the reviews. She only spent about 2 minutes doing extractions, which I had specifically asked for, and the kicker is that the entire facial lasted for just under 1 hour. When I checked by phone after she left the room, I couldn't believe it. When I approached her about this back in the lobby I could tell that I caught her off guard, and her response was something to the effect of, "Oh, well you didn't need that many extractions so it didn't take as long." Which is completely untrue. I haven't gotten a facial in about 4 months, and I know that I had plenty of extractions to work through. I think that I was most likely her last appointment of the day and she was trying to get out of there a little early. I had purchased this facial through Gilt City, but she did not know that at the time. For all she knew, I had purchased this facial for $140 and she was cutting it short by over 15 minutes. That is outrageous. What's crazy is that she knew that it was my first time in to their studio and that I was looking for a place to receive steady facials from. Why on Earth would you short-change a customer like that? I definitely will not be going back, simply for that reason alone. read more

Lana was the only person who has ever waxed my eyebrows correctly (she is the only person I've tried, and I've tried many, who didn't leave them too thin and unnnatural-looking). However, they're recently begun requiring you to have a credit card on file to book an appointment. I understand that they probably have to deal with a lot of missed appointments, and I appreciate their keeping their prices low regardless, but I've never missed an appointment without at least 24 hours notice and I don't enjoy being made to feel like some kind of criminal. Scheduling is challenging, sometimes it's not possible to know something will come up 24 hours in advance, and there needs to be some flexibility. By all means, keep track of customers who repeatedly miss appointments, but don't take it out on the rest of us. read more

I started seeing Adriana for my waxing needs a few months before my wedding when my previous aesthetician moved to a less convenient location. I am so happy I found Adriana and Skin Studio. They use hot wax here, which I find much more pleasant than strip wax. Adriana is so fast, I can't believe how quickly she gets through my services! And she is thorough! In addition to my typical waxing needs, I had wanted to get my arms, legs, and underarms waxed for the wedding, which I never had before, and she helped me to figure out how far in advance I should get these services done before my wedding. I also appreciated that Adriana helped me come up with a skin care plan leading up to my wedding day. She introduced me to diamond microdermabrasion, which made my skin so soft and smooth! And I had a mini-facial done, which was great and caused no skin irritation! I also learned about Lamprobe at Skin Studio, and Irina performed this service on a cherry angioma I had on the tip of my nose. I had wanted to get this removed for years, and was upset it would show in my wedding photos, but after the Lamprobe service, it is hardly noticeable! Thanks Skin Studio!!! read more

Absolutely Love Skin Studio!!! Both Irina & Lana Are Very Professional. They Take Their Time And Make Sure Everything Gets Done The Way It Should. Facials Are Great, Brazilians Are Done With The Hard Wax And Take About 10 Mins! Love Love Love! Congrats On The New Location! read more

Least painful Brazilian I've ever had! Lisa is friendly and helpful, making it as comfortable as possible.

Irina is simply the best. I've been seeing her for 3+ years and I would never go anywhere else unless I move out of state! She is friendly, efficient and really knows what she's doing. She is committed to quality and her business. Highly recommended read more

If you would like to feel rested and have your skin glowing after a facial then you must visit Skin Studio! There is plenty off street parking and I believe they have a parking lot in the rear. The office is located inside a building where there are many other types of offices, but it is still very easy to locate. I called for a last minute facial and they were able to fit me in easily. I received the Enzyme facial and made sure to have extractions since my face needed some deep cleaning. The aesthetician (can't place her name) was absolutely wonderful and knowledgeable. She gave me some recommendations to reduce my acne scars and sold me some great products to maintain my skin as healthy as possible. She had such a gentle touch that she was able to extract my pores and before the end of the day, the puffiness in my face subsided back to normal. I've had other numerous facials in the past that my face would be puffy for days after extractions due to how rough they were. I will definitely be coming back, and will very like do the micro peels to make my skin as smooth and blemish free as possible. If you are from the Boston area, this spa far out beats any "high end" spas found on Newbury St or surrounding areas! The facial was $110 for an hour, and it was worth every penny! Must visit!! read more

Very excited to try Skin Studios to finally do something for myself especially my skin. So I had a consultation on Tuesday, 05/03/16, that I was late for but was able to be squeezed in at 4:30 which is so wonderful of them! I was given Natalya, who is very professional and knowledgeable of what she does. She listened to my concerns before she made her suggestions which we agreed upon together. I will leave it to having acne, not going to detail for personal reasons, but even though I am self conscious of it she wasn't critical and I treaty appreciated that she wasn't. She was helpful by putting together a plan for my goal to reach beautiful skin by starting with my first facial(yay!) then slowly get into microdermabrasion then alternating between both. Once all set, I had scheduled for the following Saturday afternoon, 05/12/16, for the acne treatment facial with Natalya as the esthetic. I left feeling confident in these ladies, and definitely recommend going in for the consultation free of charge with nothing to lose. Can't wait to keep updating along the way to beautiful skin especially for those who have acne! :) read more

Been going here for over a year! Kind, knowledgeable, and reasonably priced. Best skin care I've ever gotten.

I've been Skin Studio's regular customer since it's early days in Brookline and after receiving services from Irina and Lana would never consider going anywhere else. Both Irina and Lana are incredibly knowledgable about the skin, the products, newest trends but most of all, what is best for their client. They never push any sales your way and go the extra mile ensuring the client is satisfied. The front desk always greets you in a friendly way and is incredibly accommodating. The prices are moderate and are in line with the rest, though Skin Studio often offer bundle deals and specials. The overall atmosphere is pleasant and relaxing. read more

My experience here was wonderful. I called last minute for a facial and they fit me in for an express one. When she saw me she made some recommendations on what we can do to further better my skins condition. I can't remember her name but she was very knowledgable about services and products. She even told me to bring in the products I use so she can explain to me more about how to use them or to make sure I'm using the right stuff for my sensitive skin. I loved that she was very upfront about pricing in stead of just convincing me to do a chemical peel today she gave me the options and suggested I come in in a couple weeks to continue my treatment. It was a great experience, very clean and a very friendly staff I will definitely be going back read more

I don't think I could speak more highly of Skin Studio and Adriana. I started with acne and many visible acne scars, but through the 9 months I've seen Adriana they've faded significantly. My skin is smooth and even glows on some days. It's actually amazing. I won't say that I'm completely happy with where I am, but I'm much happier than where I was. I will continue to go see Adriana as long as I can because I'm certain that she'll help me reach the best results. read more

Kind, knowledgable of services (waxing) and great customer service!
