I really love Marina she has great energy and is extremely knowledgable about her product and services. I have had the body wrap, Brazilian, eyebrow wax, and facial. She provided spa services for my sister in laws baby shower everyone left relaxed and satisfied. Please give her a try you won’t be disappointed.

Marina is quick and has great prices. Been coming to her for my waxing needs for the past year and she has always taken care of me. Super cute, clean, private studio and she is such a joy to talk to! Highly recommended.

I went in for a spray tanning first and booked an appointment for eyelash extensions after. Both services were remarkable. Marina is very sweet and very professional at the same time, and she’s providing excellent customer service. She took very good care of me explaining everything she was doing and giving me instructions on how to take care of my new tan and eyelashes. Her space is cozy and welcoming. She even had the bed warmed for me when I went for the eyelash extensions, being a cold day that day. I have only one word about Marina and the services she provides: AMAZING. Marina, you have definitely won me as a regular client. Thank you so much for the care and quality.

Marina was such a sweetheart! I got a groupon for eyelash extensions and set up an appointment within the same week. There was a little issue with scheduling(my appointment had to be pushed back a little) but that was understandable considering it’s the holidays. The eyelashes turned out beautifully! They were a little too glamorous and long for me so I trimmed them down at home. I like them to look a little more natural, but Marina was wonderful and did a fantastic job with them.

I went in today for 2 microdermabrasion facials, one for my grandmother and one for myself. Marina was absolutely professional, friendly and dedicated. Her space is cozy and efficient, most of all she knows her stuff! I am in the spa industry so i know how things should be and im definitely coming back. My grandma is super happy as well! Thanks Marina!

My extended eyelashes look like plastic spider legs, eyelashes that are worse than from a drugs store. I purchased a Groupon that said«Individual Mink Eyelash Extensions» and for a refill set. The person who did the eyelashes for me was sweet as a doll, but it was completely false advertising. The service for my eyelashes was rough, super quick and the glue burnt my eyes. The eyelashes were not individual, they were not Mink, and she was rushing to get me done to fit in her other two appointments after me. When I went home, one eyelash already fell off and it just felt like all of the glue was poking my eyes. I did not have a good experience and also I did not get my money back from Groupon.

Marina is so great! I went in for eyelash extensions and she took the time to explain everything she was doing and why. She was very personable and patient! You’ll leave wanting to come back, just to hang out with Marina :)

Marina is kind of my favorite person right now. I definitely had the«where the hell is my GPS taking me?» moment on my first visit, and was a little unsure of the«call and I’ll let you in» directive(is this spy school or a salon?), but it’s all worth it. Marina’s space is super cute and welcoming, as is Marina herself(we exchanged big hugs, even on my first visit). I got a package of three microdermabrasions that also came with peels. Marina knew I was getting married soon, and really took great care of my skin to ensure I was looking my best on the big day. I highly recommend her!

I’d never had dermabrasion before and it was a great experience. Tighter, smoother looking skin, smaller pores. It seems that dermabrasion cleans out pores better than extraction. Marina is so comfortable to be with. She accommodates late hours! Products felt and smelled so good. And Marina does this luscious-feeling technique at the end with, what feels like, cold glass balls tgat she runs over your skin. Mmmmmm.

I treated myself for a facial for my birthday and I’m so happy that I did, Marina is an absolute doll and all around wonderful person who does great work. Since getting the facial(microdermabrasion treatment and peel combo) my skin looks amazing my skin tone has evened out. My skin has improved to the point that I have stopped wearing makeup, which makes me look younger. Do yourself a favor and go get a facial from Marina. You would not only be doing something nice for yourself, but you would also be supporting a very hard working small business owner.

Wow! Loved this facial. My boyfriend and I each got one and we are both giving it 5+ stars. It’s in a really cute suit that she has set up in an unsuspecting location. The facial was top notch, very relaxing too… she gives the best massage on shoulders neck and arms and we both feel so relaxed with mega clean faces :) we will definitely be coming back.

Marina is AMAZING! It’s hard to find a great and experienced salonist so I was really happy to find Marina today. Makes you feel welcomed and comfortable immediately, very professional and skilled. Open later too! Give her a call when you arrive so she can let you in.

Marina is AMAZING! I booked a Brazilian and a facial with her. My schedule did not allow me to do both in one sitting but Marina was completely flexible! I was the only client at the time and I felt so cared for. All her attention was on me and my needs. She asked questions to ensure she knew best how to help me instead of just doing anything to my face and telling me afterwards. She even walked me to the door and gave me a hug. She’s knowledgeable about her products and it’s clear that she loves what she does! Amazing job! Great experience!

I would like to say that Marina is wonderful. I have done 3 infrared body wraps with her at her salon and my knees, hips, and ankles have felt so much better. I exercise vigorously 4 – 6 times a week for 45 – 90 minutes a clip, so that can cause inflammation, this has helped decrease that and it has also aided inch loss in my lower abdomen and hip area. I have lost a half an inch on the hips and a whole inch on the lower abdomen area so far

I absolutely love The Beauty Lounge. Marina’s loft is very comfortable, clean and chic. I live in the neighborhood and finding the Lounge is pure gold. I have had brazilian waxes done by multiple people across multiple cities and so far Marina has been THEBEST! She is highly efficient, pays close attention to detail and makes it as least painful as possible, which I thoroughly appreciate! Furthermore, she is really down to earth, sweet and makes great conversation which helps distract you from the pain. Thus far I have only had the Brazilian wax performed by her, and it was an A+ job for a very affordable price. I look forward to having facials and body wraps in the future. She is by-appointment only, but has extended hours which is great. Booking an appointment online is very easy. This is definitely going to become my new beauty lounge; I am thankful to have Marina in the neighborhood.
