Essentia by Maria Marcos - San Diego, California

Susie Valencia

Maria is the sweetest person. She was so gentle during my facial and her voice is so soothing. I loved the warm and cozy bed and the relaxing music. The facial was of course amazing. She communicated and asked for consent throughout the process and very informative too. The massaging was amazing, I definitely fell asleep at some point. I loved the high frequency device it diminished my little breakouts so so much. My skin was very dry and was peeling a little when I initially went in for my treatment. The picture is my skin after: luminous and hydrated! All the products she used were excellent and smelled so good too. ?/10
Ps. The lip oil that she used at the end was also amazing ?

Absolutely loved every minute of my experience. Maria made sure I felt comfortable and relaxed throughout the whole process. She was very informative and discussed everything that was going be done with the facial & more. Will be back again soon!

What a unique reiki experience I had here. The office is soothing, calm and beautiful. Maria has a beautiful, angelic way about her. In addition to my nervous system completely relaxing, she gave me some great solutions for healing a problem I have been dealing with. I highly recommend.

I have been a client for 4 years, and have never been disappointed with Maria’s services. Above all, she is a professional who continuously educates herself to stay current with the latest advancements in skin care therapy and facials.
Her wax and facial services are impeccable, and are tailored to meet the individual client’s needs and skin type. Her warm and friendly personality makes you immediately feel comfortable and relaxed. Additionally, she is flexible with her scheduling and will do her best to accommodate your availability. I regularly recommend her services to all of my friends, and my skin absolutely glows after a facial!

I've been a customer with Maria for many years and highly recommend all her services, she's that good at what she does! She is the most genuine person I've ever met and truly cares about her customer's experience. She doesn't rush through your appointment leaving the job unfinished (like some other corporate spa locations tend to do). You can tell she is passionate about skincare and making a connection with her customers, it's an all around wonderful experience, I can't say enough.

Previously I was always interested in trying a facial but was lost as to where to start. I've tried a couple facials at corporate spa locations and have left feeling disappointed and asking myself "what did I just spend all that money on?". Maria's was a totally different experience. She took the time to look at my skin and tailor my facials to me individually. I swear to you I leave every time with my skin feeling unbelievably soft and rejuvenated. She uses amazing products with natural ingredients. I'm truly obsessed.

Bottom line, I can't say enough about Maria and the services she offers, she is seriously an absolute godsend! If you're looking for a service she offers you MUST make an appointment ASAP!

Maria is amazing! She is always friendly, welcoming, professional and knows what she is doing! She’s absolutely the best! I have had very traumatic experiences with waxing and she always makes me feel well taken care of. I always get a full leg wax service with bikini and under arms. I have noticed a great difference in a slower, thinner hair growth. Highly recommended, thank you Maria!
