Sensible Skin Care

Got my eyebrows done in August with Marina and I was really happy how good they looked. I looked like a new person, but loved it. I will definitely go back!!!

Marina is very sweet, patient, good at listening to exactly what I need/​want done, and has great pricing. She is also very gentle, and quick.
I just wish she was available more often!
I find it very difficult to find a time where her schedule works with mine.
I am sadly going to have to go see someone else before my trip for an eyebrow wax.
EDIT:
Marina made time for me before my trip & squeezed me in! Love her!!!

Marina is a miracle worker. After struggling with my skin for years, she was the one to finally make a difference. She is sweet and very knowledgeable, while being very affordable. Marina truly cares about her clients’ and will strive to provide an excellent service every time.

Wonderful experience. I got the c power facial and I loved it. Marina is very kind and very good on what she does. I will go back.

I have been going to Marina for about 5 years now. When she moved to her current location at Thomas Joseph Studio, I followed. I schedule an appointment about every 6 – 8 weeks. I get a facial and a brow/​lip wax.
This is what you can expect:
*Set up appointments online
*Competent scheduling to avoid waits
*Amazing, wonderfully smelling skin care products that improve the health and look of your skin
*Informative but NOT pushy on products and services
*Clean and serene private room, complete with candles and relaxing audio in the background
*Relaxing facial massage, along with neck and arm massage to complete the pampering visit
*Competitive prices with great results
Marina has many other services, check it out, you’ll be back. My skin continues to look very good. Wonderful Esthetician!

My mom and I have been coming to marina for facials and waxing for years and we are never disappointed! We tried quire a few people before but their facials were either ineffective or they were far too aggressive and even left scarring. Whenever I leave after a facial with marina my skin is glowing and feels amazing and when I keep up with the facials my skin becomes like a whole new person. They are reasonably priced and she won’t make you get them more often than needed like some people do. I highly recommend sensible skincare by marina!

Marina is very careful with her hands and gives a very nice and relaxing massage in addition to the facial. She is also very cognizant of any issues you might have on your skin, and gives recommendations based on your skin complexion. She’s a professional with very gentle hands; I would recommend her as I hope to return.

Love my experience at this skin care salon. Professional work and excellent service. Going to come back soon!

Marina knows her shit. Customer fo’ life.

2^nd trip! (: i went again in the month of April and it is as good as it gets.
No joke, my skin is feeling SOO much happier. It is thanking me and I am thanking it.
Going to Marina’s is not only great for the facial, message, and chit chats with Marina, but it made me more aware of my skin – taking more action to maintain it.
I have been following her recommendations – exfoliate, cleanse, tone, moisturize. OH AND DONT FORGET ABOUT SUNSCREEN!!! SOOOOO IMPORTANT!
Background: I was using Neutrogena’s Acne Stress Control Cleanser & Body Shop Tea Tree Oil Cleanser. OMG. NEVER AGAIN. These two products broke me out! and i started getting a lot of Milia… A LOT. This started in October ’13.
Started going to Marina’s in Feb ’14, now April ’14, next time June ’14. i should have started earlier; i cant believe I let the nasty face go on for ½ a year!
anyway, I call this my «road to recovery»…Marina’s treatment is very miraculous and it’s also just great because it makes you realize the flawless potential your skin has. Just be patient. Don’t expect to see results within one facial or two. I’m just one of the lucky few who got some results so quickly.
Now: My acne is pretty much gone, I have occasional breakouts but the menstrual sort.
There are still acne scars that I want to get rid of so I’m considering the chemical peel.
I still have some Milia and Blackheads :(so it’s an ongoing battle.
Thanks Marina, always lookin’ forward to my next facial (:

Marina was a very enthusiastic and nice lady! I got the classic facial and she was very attentive to my needs. She got rid of all the bumps I had in my face and the results lasted for a very long time! The moisturizer I had bought from her is amazing! My skin has never felt so smooth before. Even my boyfriend had noticed the difference!!! Oh and Marina is very gentle! I really loved the face/​shoulder massage that came with the classic facial. She did a great job in making a difference in the way my skin feels and making me feel relaxed the whole time :)

Every time I go to Marina’s I come out happy! She not only does a great job but she is a very sweet person too! Her facials are very relaxing and beneficial… my skin became so much better! To me the atmosphere/​environment is very important also… her room in the back of a busy hair salon is very neat, clean and relaxing! I’ve been going to her for facials for about a year now and I’ve been very pleased with the services she provides… she really is amazing!

Marina is the first person that I ever went to for a brazilian and I have not gone to anyone else since! She is amazing! She’s very welcoming and doesn’t make you feel uncomfortable at all. I was surprised that she remembered me after a year of not going but when she saw me she made me feel like I never left! She is also very thorough and good at what she does and cleans up everything down there very well. I would recommend her to anyone looking to have an amazing Brazilian done!

Love love love getting facials done by Marina. If there is such a thing like having a magic touch, she got it. You feel Rejuvenated after her facial, I feel like all my stress is GONE, and my skin looks radiant. Love the facial and neck massage its very relaxing. I was referred to Marina by my girlfriend a while back and ever since i have always been a happy and loyal client. Can’t wait to see her next time.

I was absolutely ecstatic when I found Marina! I am one of those annoying clients that people roll their eyes at when they see my name on the books because I am very particular about how I like my things to get done. However with Marina I can walk and in just relax because I trust her.
Marina is FANTASTIC!
So far I religiously get facials every 6 weeks with her (I don’t trust anyone else) and have her do my eyebrows, I am yet to try her other wonderful services. I HIGHLY recommend Marina. She is gentle but also gets the job done! Love her=)

Marina is kind and lovely, and makes your regular waxing appointment a pleasant experience.

I was lucky enough to find Marina based on her outstanding reviews here on Unilocal.
Although I have good skin, I found it dull. I knew I had to seek a professional to help bring out its true beauty. Enter Marina. From our very first interaction, I knew I found someone who knows her profession well. We talked about what I was seeing and what I hoped would result from her services.
I was sold on the European facial which has brought my skin back to life. After her treatment, I receive compliments from complete strangers. Thanks to her talent, expertise and counsel, my skin has not looked this good since there was a 3 in front of my age. She sold me on the idea of argan oil to moisturize my dry skin — what a difference. Sleep, biotin supplements and more water has made such a difference!
Today was my 3^rd facial with her. It was just this side of heaven — I felt pampered. In a mere hour, she melted away a month’s worth of work stress. It’s the only true me time I carve away for myself being a FT working mom. It’s worth the 6 week wait between appointments.
Best value I’ve found. Her European facials feel like a million dollars — champagne on a beer budget.
Do yourself a favor and treat yourself to the best hands and facials in San Diego.

Marina is amazing! I go to her for various waxes, and she always does a great job. She makes the experience as painless and as quick as possible. Marina is friendly and easy to talk to, and she always goes out of her way to make you comfortable.

Found Marina online — and now all the girls from my family go to her.
She is so pleasant and knowledgable about skincare.
Every time I leave I feel refreshed.
Just had a facial and brows yesterday and I feel so good.
I used to dread getting facials (not to mention i am a pain because i can’t sit still) and she’s entirely changed my experience. Love Marina.

I had a really great waxing experience here! It was a little hard to find because it’s inside a hair salon, but it took me about 10 seconds to just ask someone where it was. I was especially stressed out too because I had gone to the wrong address at first, so I was pretty late. But luckily that didn’t matter at all and Marina was really nice and accommodating!
I had only gotten a wax once before, but it was in Italy so I wasn’t sure how different it would be in the US. I don’t have a very high pain tolerance, but Marina made the whole experience really pleasant. We were joking around and chatting it up in no time.
I used a Unilocal deal here, but I would definitely go back again with or without a discount. Thanks Marina!
