I have had many facials, and this was by far my best experience! The ambiance of the the business is beautiful. Clean, simple and bright when you walk in. The actual spa room is just as beautiful. The calming lighting and intoxicating scents are divine:) Mariola uses all organic products and is educated about the ingredients. In my experience, it has been challenging to find estheticians who work with clean products. Everything she put on my skin smelled and felt amazing. It didn't take long for me to realize that Mariola is a true master of her craft. I enjoyed the entire experience , but my favorite part was the facial massage. I have held a lot of tension in my jaw and face and it was painful at times. As she massaged, it started to melt away. She also massaged my upper body. I felt my circulation improve and my nervous system settle as the session went on. I was glowing when I walked out of the session. Mariola's authenticity and intentionality was felt. Her way of being, along with her undeniable skill allowed for a deeply healing experience. Thank you Mariola read more

Lovely space and very professional service. She really took the time to understand what I needed and went above and beyond. I will be back.

Mariola is amazing! I live in Texas and am so happy to have found someone I can consistently see when I visit Boston. You will not regret booking a facial with her! read more

Great facial with a wonderful massage. I wish she also did full body massages! Nice ambiance too

Mariola has a gentle touch, and gave a quality facial. She uses herbs and organic products which I love because I love quality and organic products myself. The smells, during the facial, alone were so healing. Here's some details of the session; she did a thorough massage on my jaw line- I have trouble with clamping my jaw and she knew to work that out, cleaned my pores, hydrated my skin, massage my lymph from head to chest to arms, worked my neck and shoulders. After the session, I noticed I needed to go to the bathroom. I also felt some sensation in my belly. Mariola explained "That's your lymph draining into your belly". read more

Mariola is a magician! It was my first time at Mariola's recently and I am truly impressed and grateful to have found someone as talented as her! First, be aware that she really puts in time and effort into the facial/ massage. So budget for 2 hours - and you'll be glad you took the time! Second, she gives a very extensive upper body / neck/ shoulder lymphatic massage with her facial. So really you get way more than the average facial. Third, she is very knowledgeable due to her over two decades of experience as an aesthetician and also due to her life long interest in herbology. She knows a lot about massaging techniques, so all combined it is a rejuvenating and relaxing experience for your skin and muscles! All herbal, organic, products! The space itself is warm inviting and beautiful. Everything is clean and hygienic. Lovely herbal tea before and after! I highly recommend trying Mariola's services!!! read more

You may think you've had a good facial before, like you've seen your pores CLEAN, or clear. Not until you've seen Mariola. Truthfully, I thought I'd experienced this elsewhere before too. Nope. Wrong. That fancy place downtown? They didn't get your face looking like this. My sister gave me the gift of a facial for my birthday and I cannot wait to go back to see Mariola. I've never had this good or painless an experience with extractions. Do yourself a favor. Go see her. Zero regrets. read more

Mariola lived up to the hype. She was accommodating, gentle, and talked a bit at the beginning but then totally let me relax. Her basic facial is a full 2 hours, which was amazing and worth the money. Consider that you pay about $120 for an hour-long massage. You only have 1 hour, and it's just a massage. I don't know about you, but it takes me about 10 minutes to settle in anyway, and then I often find myself thinking "Hmm.. I think it's almost an hour," and then the time is up. At 365, Mariola massaged my face, neck, and shoulders in a way that I've never had in a basic massage, and it was awesome. She also managed to get deep into my shoulders and even my back without having me turn over -- it was awesome. I had a really bad tweak in my shoulder that was gone afterwards! So paying $150 for a 2-hour facial and massage, plus free samples -- that is serious value! Her treatments were natural (literally mixed right there, I think) and smelled amazing. The extractions were done by hand, quickly, and not painful. My face looked amazing after, and has continued to look great ever since. Mariola's skin is flawless, which makes me feel even better about giving her my business and taking her advice. She was opinionated about the products I'd been using, but also reasonable -- even for some of the ones she didn't really like, she encouraged me to keep using them since they'd been working for me. I didn't feel pressured to purchase her products, or like I had to break the bank to have nice skin. I'll be sending all my friends and family to Mariola, and returning for all my special occasions. read more

I never expected to be inspired to care for my skin, but after meeting Mariola, exactly that happened. The second I left her salon, I knew I would never use another synthetic skin product with harsh, unnatural chemicals again. Mariola is extremely knowledgable and passionate about her trade and conveys that passion in such a caring and informative way, you truly feel like her concern for your skin's health. Her facials are soothing and relaxing, but also get to the cleaning your skin needs. I recommend her to everyone I know, and so far, have not disappointed any. Just try it. PSA: you will become a loyal and regular customer. read more

I just spent an amazing session with Mariola -- equal parts facial and massage, both highly professional. I left looking and feeling fantastic! The moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and relaxed. The space is beautifully appointed; the lighting, music and aromas were calming. Everything about my time there felt like a healing gift to myself. I purchased a jar of coconut moisturizer, but I had to ask for it as Mariola was ready to check me out without even asking if I wanted anything more. I was happy to learn that she also does waxing (expertly!), and that you can book a session for 1-1/4 or 1-1/2 hours if you don't have two hours to indulge yourself. read more

The entire shop is cozy. Reminds me of home. And I have sent many people here to get facial. I had today a two hour facial which includes an upper body massage and stages of a well detailed facial. She got rid of what needed to go and she pampered and took great care of my skin and body! She's is lovely to speak with and I even got some samples for my dry skin!! Very pleased would by this for many people as a gift! read more

Well, color me surprised! I've had a couple of facials before, and have only had one good one. Mariola's blew it out of the park! First, the shop is adorable. It's in a little building with several little shops inside. Mariola has decorated with her products, mainly dried herbs and clays in jars on the wall. She also had the perfect playlist for me. It wasn't the typical "spa sounds," but rather familiar songs that are calming. Second, I've never felt so pampered and I've been to my fair share of up-scale massage places. The room felt homey, in a clean, fresh, natural way. The massage table was comfy and warm. The lights were dimmed and it just had a great ambiance. Additionally, Mariola spent over two hours working on my face, neck, and shoulders. I could feel her untangling the knots and felt refreshed leaving (at 9PM). Third, the results. I've always had pretty good skin, but she taught me even more. She gives very individualized care, and I could tell how passionate she was about her profession. Mariola informed me of what she was doing and let me know if a product was going to sting before applying it--nothing worse than not being told your skin is going to burn when using a product (has happened before). I'm confident that my skin is going to be better than ever with Mariola's guidance. After finishing the appointment I decided I needed to give her service as a gift to my mother for her 60th birthday. Mariola insisted on making it a cute presentation and I couldn't be more grateful... She was way craftier than I would be. She attached some elegant flowers to the card and gave to me. I can't wait to hear how much my mom enjoys it. Highly recommend. You won't regret. And the price is incredible. Go. read more

This place is a precious little gem. It's an one woman shop run by a lady named Mariola. She really takes care of you from beginning to end, every detail, every question, every concern. I went to get a facial with Mariola in December last year, and within the first 15 minutes of the facial, I knew she was an absolute expert. She not only does a thorough facial (including a really careful and determined approach to extractions), she also gives you a facial massage, primarily focusing on your facial muscle. Another reason I like about her spa is that she uses Eminence products, which is an organic line that is offered in limited spas (I believe only 3 spas in Boston offer this line). When I went home after the facial, my husband could tell the difference on my face immediately. I had to move to DC shortly after December, and haven't been able to find an expert like her in DC. When I returned to Boston to visit in June, I booked another appointment with her. She took such a good care of me that our session ran longer than expected. She offered to feed my parking meter because she didn't want to rush our session. I've never experienced such superb client service before, truly above and beyond. Mariola is an honest and genuine person. She could tell my job is stressful based on the condition of my skin and my lips, and she advised me multiple times that I really need to take care of myself. It's too bad that I live in DC and can't go to her regularly. I will definitely return to her spa when I go home to visit again. read more

I have been going to Mariola for facials for over a year now. She is amazing and knows so much about skin care. My skin has improved so much since going to see her and she teaches me different ways to take care of my skin too. Her 2 hour facials includes a facial massage(it's the best), which is a technique that is used for Meghan Markles facials too . Go book a facial w her. You won't regret it! read more

This facial changed my life. I was suffering from hormonal acne for the first time in my life and it seemed no matter what I did it would not go away. Mariola spent over 2 hours on my face, not only extracting and treating it but also educating me on my skin. With any facial, your skin needs time to heal as extractions can be harsh but necessary. Now after a few weeks my skin is unrecognizable. It looks flawless. I have not had one single breakout since and I've been committed to washing my face everyday with the products she recommended. Highly highly highly recommend especially if you feel as though you have no place left to turn. I want to also point out that she was not pushy what so ever when it came to skincare products which I really appreciated, I bought some from her anyways and I'm in love. read more

Go to Mariola. She doesn't just provide a relaxing experience, she truly heals your skin and provides long-term, personalized solutions. I've been seeing Mariola for nearly six-months. At my first visit, I told her I was desperate: My skin was red, dry, inflamed, and reactive to almost all products I tried--even organic. The woman who had helped me with my skin for two years no longer could. I had little faith that anyone could help. Mariola told me to start from the very beginning, all the way back to my skin in adolescence. She asked me questions about my diet and lifestyle; her approach in questions was so integrated and in-depth before we even began the facial. She really listened. Half-way through the facial, Mariola stopped and brought me a mirror: all the redness in my face was gone. My skin actually glowed. I didn't think it was possible. I've been seeing her ever since. Mariola blends her own oils that she gets in Europe, where standards and quality are much higher. Her personalized masks, oils, and Eminence products completely changed my skin. The best part: she doesn't push any products, and she takes a minimalist approach. I've told her I'll buy anything, and she'll still just choose a couple things for me--and make it clear she doesn't want me to overuse products. You don't find that often. As for the facials themselves: They are two full hours! She uses a special massage technique to stimulate the muscles on your face, and gives a body massage to drain your lymphatic system. The aromatherapy is such a plus, too. So, again, go to Mariola for so many reasons: she's warm and kind, her space feels as healing as it is, and your skin will transform into it's healthiest form. She's incredibly smart in all aspects of the human body and holistic health, and constantly is learning more herself. She just cares. I'm so grateful I found her. read more

I have done spa treatments in many places both nationally and internationally, and I can honestly say that this facial was the most amazing spa experience I have ever had. I loved it so much I bought a 5-session package right on the spot. An hour and a half of nonstop pampering, and the products used were organic, effective, and delicious smelling. I cannot recommend this place enough. read more

I have known Mariola since she first embarked on her career as an Esthetician. I was one of her first customers! I have followed her in her endeavor to open a skin care establishment which follows a European aesthetic of fortifying your skin to reveal one's beauty. When you work with her the need for makeup to mask is no longer needed. One of her signature services is a 2 hour facial which does not have gimmicks or fancy false names. It is at it states, a facial where she looks at your skin and then she does whatever is needed to make it look gorgeous! Also, within those 2 hours you will also be treated to an upper body and arms massage. And gorgeous you will look once she is finished. Polished and hydrated and within 2 days you will have received many compliments, with people asking you what you have done to look so amazing. Mariola is a true artist and your skin is her canvas. She gives it her all and she is very dedicated to the health of her customer's skins. I also want to emphasize that this is a full service spa so I have also gone to her for waxing. She uses all Organic products of which I have completely switched to now and love. Please give this wonderful hidden gem a try and you will not regret your decision. read more

Since seeing Mariola for facials and skincare my skin has drastically improved. She is knowledgable and skilled , and she has a great touch. The location is perfect and there is always parking in the neighborhood. The shop is warm and welcoming and so is Mariola. read more

I've had regular facials for the past decade (every month or two) in cities across the US (Chicago, NYC, Portland, OR), and am thrilled with Mariola's work. My skin is always clear, bright, smooth, and soft when I leave and well into the weeks after my visits with her. That coupled with the fact that she is so wonderful and her space delightful make this among my very favorite spots in Boston. I have also very deeply appreciated the fact that she never tried to up-sell me on her products. In fact, only after a couple of months did I buy face cream and moisturizing mist because *I asked her* about them. And I love, love, love them! Oh, before booking, you should know, her facials last 2 hours. 2. Hours. Amazing. read more

Update - on my first review which was removed by Yelp because they say I haven't reviewed enough places - well, if you keep REMOVING my review, how does that help??? Anyway, saw Mariola again for a facial and also waxing. I have the type of skin that usually requires me slapping ice packs on my face for an hour after a wax job - but not this time. Whatever product it is that Mariola uses, I had absolutely no adverse skin reaction!! First time and I could hardly believe it. Will be making another point really soon! read more

I have tried every place in Brookline (including Karen Golden and Violet) for waxing and facials and this is by FAR the best!! Mariola's technique with wax is so good that it is the least painful I have ever experienced, regardless of the quality of the salon/spa. She is meticulous for waxing and you will be the cleanest you have ever been. Her facials are amazing. You leave looking and feeling younger immediately. She takes her time with all of the services and gets to know you and your skin. Her prices are also much more reasonable than some of the others. I have been loyal to her for years and will only go somewhere else when Mariola is on vacation. I can't recommend her highly enough. If you haven't been, you're missing out. The level of care and pampering is unsurpassed. read more

Mariola provides an amazing facial! I highly recommend a visit. In my previous experience, facials only consisted of product application, about 10 minutes of massage, and a few minutes of extraction. Mariola's facials are completely different. The facial lasts two full hours. She uses organic products. She does the most thorough extraction I have ever experienced. Throughout the whole facial (when she is not applying a product or extracting), she is massaging your face, shoulders, and back. That means that the massage lasts almost the whole time! She does all this for only $80 for your first visit. The price is unbelievable. It is well worth that and more! read more

I couldn't agree more with these reviews. This facial was like NOTHING I have ever experienced before. I thought I was getting a good facial until I came to 365 Organic. I highly recommend you start with the new client special. Make sure you book out enough time because she really doesn't skimp.. and I mean that! I was there for over two hours! Not only did I get the best facial ever, it was coupled with an upper body massage. If you are looking to get pampered and heal your skin, I honestly can't recommend her highly enough- A+! read more

Mariola is not your typical facialist who just slathers masks on your face and leaves the room. She is with you 100% and makes you feel like you are her only client. Passionate about her work, she is holistic in her approach to each individual. She not only looks at your skin but gets an understanding of your whole body and lifestyle. She truly cares about people and she wants to help people feel their best. She has created a safe haven for women to come and escape and be pampered. The price reflects that as she wants everyone to experience it. That is why it doesn't cost an arm and a leg! If you are looking to be pampered in a way where you feel like a million bucks, go to Mariola. You won't regret it! read more

Mariola is awesome. I feel so lucky that I have found Mariola just two weeks before my wedding day!! She is fabulous. She is so caring and does a great job. I have super super sensitive skin and no body can touch it. I had a facial few months before with another skincare and I can't even compare it to the result of my facial with Mariola. I highly recommend her for her great job and feel so happy and grateful to have found her. Thank you. read more

I feel compelled to write a review for one of the best spa experiences I've ever had. Full disclosure this facial was purchased as a gift by a good friend and it's always especially lovely receiving a gift. The last time I had a facial was about 1 year ago and I went onto Yelp and found one of Boston's best facials, supposedly, in a salon on Newbury Street. It was an ok experience tempered by a hard sell on the products and the hefty $200+ price tag. One year later, I go to 365 organic skincare and am greeted by Mariola. She welcomed me warmly and proceeded to give me THE BEST facial and massage ever. I'm still not sure if it was more massage than facial or vice versa but whatever it was, it was magic! She is currently doing a first time client offer of a 2 hour facial for $80. For a solid two hours Mariola works on you; massaging every inch of your face, arms, neck, shoulders, hands, between your fingers, down your back even, all in silence, using beautiful smelling organic ingredients. My skin is still so soft, the extractions were swift and thorough but more than that, I felt full of a positive life force. I left her salon walking on air. No rude awakening via a hard sell on products, just her smiling face somewhat explaining how you suddenly feel full of positive vibes. Do yourself a huge favor and make an appointment. I promise you, you will not regret it. read more

Excellent, great service, so relaxing... I will be back !!!
