Marianne is the most gentle, compassionate, thorough, and effective esthetician I have ever met! She has magic hands and is so warm and welcoming ... so gentle ... but gets great results. Her ultrasonic treatment leaves me glowing, and her mix of organic and high-tech products is fabulous. I am considering cutting out my weekly therapist for weekly facials with Marianne ... it might just be a better investment! Absolutely fabulous!

I just walked into Marianne's place off the street looking for a chemical peel, which I realize is not the smartest thing to do, considering how nasty a bad chemical peel can turn out, but I was desperate. So, the first thing Marianne told me was what a bad idea it was to just walk in somewhere off the street and get a chemical peel. I liked her already.
As luck would have it, I stumbled upon a skin care genius! She is very accomplished with all sorts of training and has a background working in fancy salons, but she just opened up her own shop at Coolidge Corner few months ago.
She recommended some great treatments for me, and I got the ultrasonic treatment - which felt wonderful. It's sort of like microdermabrasion, but with water instead of crystals. She said it was like a "tiny car wash for my face" which totally made me giggle. Her extractions were the most painless I have ever had and she didn't try to sell me a whole bunch of products after everything was over.
Oh, and did I mention she is super nice? She could probably double as a therapist. Although, I suppose it's hard to talk during a facial without getting goop in your mouth.
I'll definitely be going back.

My experience with Marianne has been amazing. About 2 years ago my skin started to break out pretty badly and I tried everything - nothing worked. Since I started with Marianne a few months ago, my skin has cleared up and has started to heal. What has been most amazing about the experience is that she truly cares about her clients.

What a wonderful experience! Tucked away in the Coolidge Corner Mall, the intimate setting of Marianne's Skin Care Studio assures you personal attention in a relaxing atmosphere. Marianne's facials are customized to your needs. Her knowledge, experience and technique guarantee glowing results. I highly recommend the ultrasonic facial... who knew exfoliation could feel so nice?! And for those of you looking for waxing with a soft touch, look no further.
Let's face it... we love the results of a Brazilian bikini wax, but the process is often less than comfortable. Totally painless, no, but Marianne's skill and efficiency prove to be as close to pain free as you can get.
Marianne has a passion for skin care and she enjoys sharing it with her clientele. She is a lovely woman and a true credit to the profession.
