Skin Studio

Wonderful experience and I’m a tough customer to please! Plenty of parking, easy to get to. Irina was wonderful not just with my facial but in her taking the time to do a full skin care and make up consultation. This place is a hidden gem in Brighton.

Very excited to try Skin Studios to finally do something for myself especially my skin. So I had a consultation on Tuesday, 05÷03÷16, that I was late for but was able to be squeezed in at 4:30 which is so wonderful of them! I was given Natalya, who is very professional and knowledgeable of what she does. She listened to my concerns before she made her suggestions which we agreed upon together. I will leave it to having acne, not going to detail for personal reasons, but even though I am self conscious of it she wasn’t critical and I treaty appreciated that she wasn’t. She was helpful by putting together a plan for my goal to reach beautiful skin by starting with my first facial (yay!) then slowly get into microdermabrasion then alternating between both. Once all set, I had scheduled for the following Saturday afternoon, 05÷12÷16, for the acne treatment facial with Natalya as the esthetic. I left feeling confident in these ladies, and definitely recommend going in for the consultation free of charge with nothing to lose. Can’t wait to keep updating along the way to beautiful skin especially for those who have acne! :)

I don’t think I could speak more highly of Skin Studio and Adriana. I started with acne and many visible acne scars, but through the 9 months I’ve seen Adriana they’ve faded significantly. My skin is smooth and even glows on some days. It’s actually amazing. I won’t say that I’m completely happy with where I am, but I’m much happier than where I was. I will continue to go see Adriana as long as I can because I’m certain that she’ll help me reach the best results.

If you would like to feel rested and have your skin glowing after a facial then you must visit Skin Studio! There is plenty off street parking and I believe they have a parking lot in the rear. The office is located inside a building where there are many other types of offices, but it is still very easy to locate. I called for a last minute facial and they were able to fit me in easily. I received the Enzyme facial and made sure to have extractions since my face needed some deep cleaning. The aesthetician (can’t place her name) was absolutely wonderful and knowledgeable. She gave me some recommendations to reduce my acne scars and sold me some great products to maintain my skin as healthy as possible. She had such a gentle touch that she was able to extract my pores and before the end of the day, the puffiness in my face subsided back to normal. I’ve had other numerous facials in the past that my face would be puffy for days after extractions due to how rough they were. I will definitely be coming back, and will very like do the micro peels to make my skin as smooth and blemish free as possible. If you are from the Boston area, this spa far out beats any «high end» spas found on Newbury St or surrounding areas! The facial was $ 110 for an hour, and it was worth every penny! Must visit!

My experience here was wonderful. I called last minute for a facial and they fit me in for an express one. When she saw me she made some recommendations on what we can do to further better my skins condition. I can’t remember her name but she was very knowledgable about services and products. She even told me to bring in the products I use so she can explain to me more about how to use them or to make sure I’m using the right stuff for my sensitive skin. I loved that she was very upfront about pricing in stead of just convincing me to do a chemical peel today she gave me the options and suggested I come in in a couple weeks to continue my treatment. It was a great experience, very clean and a very friendly staff I will definitely be going back

I’ve been meaning to write a review and just haven’t gotten around to it, so now is better late than ever! This place is fabulous. It’s my go-​to for waxes now. They’re very clean and organized. And the ladies there are always so pleasant. I never feel uncomfortable or rushed. They also use hard wax which is typically preferred by everyone. I also really like that there is a calm ambience about the place so I’m relaxed.

WOW! Best facial in Boston!
It’s taken me YEARS to find a fantastic aesthetician in Boston for a legit facial, that not only cleans pores but also provides more long-​lasting effects. My skin had been totally dry and tired, and now it’s refreshed, hydrated, and clear!!!
Skin Studio is totally awesome, and mixes up old school facial tradition with current technology. The staff dresses professionally (i.e., matching spa scrubs) and the rooms are extremely clean with nice amenities (water, tea, chocolate, etc.).
The facial was excellent — steaming, cleaning, neck/​shoulder/​hand massage including pressure points, heated mittens for your hands so the moisturizer deeply penetrates, plenty of painless pore extraction, an enzyme mask, bacteria killing wand thingy, and then another mask. Adriana spent a TON of time on extraction which was awesome! My biggest issues is that with most facials, they spend about 5 minutes on extraction, which is one of the most important tasks an aesthetician can do because if you try it yourself it can result in scarring. I really appreciate the professionalism of the staff, making sure to check if I was claustrophobic (which is customary to ask for a facial), and communicating when my facialist had to very briefly leave the room to grab a product. Adriana asked about my skin care regimen and products, giving feedback and excellent tips (beyond the basic tip most spas give like drink more water), and didn’t push any products. Adriana was absolutely fantastic, and I’ve heard from friends that all the aestheticians there are excellent and you can’t go wrong.
I’m so thrilled to finally have found a place to regularly get facials! The price point is affordable so I will definitely be going back regularly.

This was my first visit to the salon and I loved it. Lana is wonderful with skin services

Least painful Brazilian I’ve ever had! Lisa is friendly and helpful, making it as comfortable as possible.

I’ve been Skin Studio’s regular customer since it’s early days in Brookline and after receiving services from Irina and Lana would never consider going anywhere else. Both Irina and Lana are incredibly knowledgable about the skin, the products, newest trends but most of all, what is best for their client. They never push any sales your way and go the extra mile ensuring the client is satisfied. The front desk always greets you in a friendly way and is incredibly accommodating. The prices are moderate and are in line with the rest, though Skin Studio often offer bundle deals and specials. The overall atmosphere is pleasant and relaxing.

I started seeing Adriana for my waxing needs a few months before my wedding when my previous aesthetician moved to a less convenient location. I am so happy I found Adriana and Skin Studio. They use hot wax here, which I find much more pleasant than strip wax. Adriana is so fast, I can’t believe how quickly she gets through my services! And she is thorough! In addition to my typical waxing needs, I had wanted to get my arms, legs, and underarms waxed for the wedding, which I never had before, and she helped me to figure out how far in advance I should get these services done before my wedding. I also appreciated that Adriana helped me come up with a skin care plan leading up to my wedding day. She introduced me to diamond microdermabrasion, which made my skin so soft and smooth! And I had a mini-​facial done, which was great and caused no skin irritation! I also learned about Lamprobe at Skin Studio, and Irina performed this service on a cherry angioma I had on the tip of my nose. I had wanted to get this removed for years, and was upset it would show in my wedding photos, but after the Lamprobe service, it is hardly noticeable! Thanks Skin Studio!!!

Given the sensitive nature of this procedure, Irina did an awesome job on my Brazilian. It was really only the second time I’ve done this, so I was apprehensive. She put me at ease right away. Her skill is such that I didn’t even have to take Tylenol after, barely any pain post procedure. I’ve had this done in NYC a couple of years ago and it was unbearable. Irina uses hot wax, which is much less painful and she is just extremely good. I thought I’d try it and now I am definitely sticking with Irina. Very good find!

Irina is simply the best. I’ve been seeing her for 3+ years and I would never go anywhere else unless I move out of state! She is friendly, efficient and really knows what she’s doing. She is committed to quality and her business. Highly recommended

Been going here for over a year! Kind, knowledgeable, and reasonably priced. Best skin care I’ve ever gotten.

I’ve been going to Irina for facials for a few years now, previously in Brookline and now in the current location, and before that I went to her for years for bikini waxes (up until I got laser hair removal).
Irina is awesome. She knows my skin well and only recommends products that actually work. The skin care products and makeup she uses and sells are very high quality and reasonably priced. I recommend Irina and her team to anyone!

Irina was great! She uses hard wax (way better and more sanitary and less painful than strips) and she is quick and efficient. She is thorough but keeps you distracted and is happy to provide tips for aftercare. Price is very reasonable too – pretty competitive for the are. There are various products sold in the studio but there is no pressure to buy anything. Look out for deals on their Facebook page and if you go there and «like» their Facebook page in front of them you get $ 5 off! Will definitely be returning and will absolutely try out the other services.

I have been going to Irina for bikini waxes for over two years now, and Irina and her team are wonderful!
The new location is easy to get to (I walk from my apartment), and the office is clean, comfortable, and welcoming. Irina always greets me by name with a smile, and right on time. Brazilian waxes are never a particularly enjoyable experience, but Irina makes them fast and thorough! We chat the whole time and she does an excellent job. She offers advice and products in a way that is helpful and not pushy. I always leave feeling great.
Irina and her staff offer some great discounts, and the services are always priced right. I like supporting a small business, especially run by women, so I highly recommend this one!

As someone who has been getting Brazilian waxes regularly for about six years now (in Boston, Orange County, and Los Angeles), I can say with confidence that the Skin Studio is one of the best wax salons I’ve ever been to. Irina is so so SO unbelievably good at what she does — she makes Brazilians so quick, so easy, so comfortable, and as close to painless as possible. (I barely notice she is waxing!) Also, the price is definitely right. I usually get waxed by Irina, but have also been waxed by Adriana, who is absolutely fantastic as well. They all know what they are doing and are so good at what they do. I can’t say enough about how wonderful they are! I highly recommend the Skin Studio!!!

I am sad to see that Unilocal doesn’t allow to «transfer» the reviews if the business has moved but i am determined to give my 5 stars on the new page!
Irina has been a true professional in dealing with my skin for more than a year now. We have gone from typical monthly facials progressed into chemical peels and enzyme treatments and now we are trying the new IPL (intense pulsed light) treatments. My skin has been clear (much less breakouts, less visible blackheads, less redness and whiteheads) ever since i started Irina’s suggested regiment of monthly treatments with the help of the product line of glo-​minerals she carries.
I have only praises and recommendations to give to this business. I have a face to prove it and a newly-​found confidence that comes from looking good/​feeling good! It is worth the drive, taking a bus or taking a train for anyone and everyone! As we are not 20 years old anymore, this Skin Studio has helped me to grow and understand the importance of taking good care of your skin and maintaining treatments for great results!
One last thing to add is that Irina is amazing! She is a true professional, and also easy going, caring, knowledgeable and simply a great listener who gets to catch up with your drama once a month. Irina has become not only a trusted expert of my personal skin regimen but also a great friend in helping me find my self-​assurance and beauty inside and out!

I have been coming to Irina and her studio for almost four years now, and there’s a reason I keep coming back. Firstly, she is the cheapest hard wax studio in the Boston area by a landslide — if you haven’t experienced hard wax before, you’ll find it to be much less painful. Irina and her sister are both professional, thorough, clean, and always put me at ease. In less than 25 minutes, I am out the door feeling great!
Best wax studio I have encountered in 617!
