Mariya is great! I had a stressful week and my skin needed to be in the hands of a professional, and that's what I got. I saw the Valentine's Day special and thought, well, a European facial, that has to help. I left a message late at night and Mariya got me an appointment the very next day. I told her what my concerns were with my skin and she ended up tailoring the facial to my needs. My skin felt and looked awesome walking out the door, not to mention in the subsequent days. It's too bad I don't live in San Diego anymore but I'm already planning to try and schedule a visit with Mariya each time I visit now!

I just moved from another state, and it is always a challenge trying to find a great brow waxing place, hairdresser, dog groomer, etc. I first tried threading for the first time after moving her, but I'm not sure if the gal who did my brows was great or not, but they weren't what I expected and they weren't shaped the way I wanted them. I found Mariya's after yelping, and found a coupon for a brow wax-- the best choice ever! Mariya's precision and ease was amazing- she was very open to listening to what I wanted, and the wax was painless (compared to other waxes I've had in the past- and I've been getting my brows waxed for 10 yrs). Also, I brought a $20 coupon, but she gave me another discount for $18, b/c she said there was another special, and to save my coupon for another day. Very sweet lady. I will definitely be coming back- in fact, I already booked my next appt with her in 3 weeks. Maybe I'll try one of her facials too.

I have had the pleasure of getting several facials by Mariya. Living in the Costa Verde Towers I have to say the location is excellent and I can just walk right over with no fuss on parking.
Mariya always makes me feel at ease and helps me to relax, even if I see her after a stressful day. Nice soft music, great attention to detail with my skin, and always a through consultation about what meds or herbs I may be taking and what is going in my life that may be effecting my skin.
Her space in the back of this salon is small, but she manages to make me feel as if I've escaped from the world as soon as I put on that robe and relax onto her table.
Thank you Mariya! And my skin says thank you too!

Marya was offering a free brow wax and mini facial as a special through yelp, so i thought why not.
Her "office" is located at the back of a salon, and is legitimately a closet with a sink. However, she decorates it amazingly! the cabinets are so cute (though unless youre a kind of cabinet aficionado, i wouldn't think thats the ONLY reason to go) and there are beautiful drapings and mirrors.
I love that she puts on calming music and takes her time with my brows. I mean, hey, if im paying (which i guess i wasnt...) then i should get her full attention.
Anyway, i loved the brows. its a bit pricey (normal price is 30?) but -and im not too sure about this- it seems like she offers a lot of deals and specials. I'll go back at least once more.

Mariya is an artist. I first went to her when I was tired of the mediocre eyebrow waxes that I was used to getting in the UTC area. I was stunned by the quality of her work. Later, I tried her eyebrow tinting (after I changed my hair color). Again, she hit a home run! I don't usually get facials, but decided to get one from Mariya. It was freakin' amazing! I could see a noticeable difference in my skin tone (not to mention softness) immediately and it lasted for weeks. My chief regret is that I can't afford to get facials more often. Her prices are very fair for the quality of the work, but I've got a limited "pampering" budget.
