Maria is a true artist - Her creativity shines through in the way she does lashes. She mixes up the sizes and lengths to make them look as natural as possible. She has a very gentile touch too! She's super-sweet. I was referred through my hair stylist and I'll be coming back again and again. I am really picky and a huge perfectionist, and I can tell Maria is going to continue to make me happy for a long time! :) I have been to many (8+) lash stylists over the years, and she raises the bar!!! read more

Maria does a great job on my lashes. I highly recommend her and tell all my people about her services. She is flexible with her schedule and has great attention to detail. Seriously, this girls got talent! My lashes always look great and I get so many compliments on my eye balls! I do natural long thinner lashes with short inner corners because the lashes can irritate my eyes. I only know all of this because Maria takes the time to customize for me. I've been going to her a little over a year now and she takes great care of me. Thanks Maria, you-da best in the west! read more

Allure Studio - This is my happy face LOL.. I do thin, natural long, shorter in the inner corners towards my nose. - Permanent Makeup Near Me - Newport Beach, California

Maria is absolutely Amazing. She was patient and knew exactly what she was doing. I've been to a few places and finally hit jackpot. I receive compliments on my lashes regularly. I love the fullness and the fact that they don't comprise my natural lashes. If you are hesitant, don't be any longer. Maria is your girl! read more

I found this studio from a Groupon for Microdermabrasion. After my first visit and the results of the treatment, I can say my firsthand experience has been fantastic! I've been back for a second treatment just about a month later and have become a regular customer now. I highly recommend coming to Maria. She is thorough, gentle, accommodating and explains each procedure to help you understand the process. I felt so comfortable and treated so kindly that I've become her regular client. It's conveniently located in the complex just before the Blvd. Hotel on Newport Blvd., the very last suite which is nice, quiet and private. I'll be coming back for additional services now that I've discovered this new hidden gem. read more

A friend of mine referred me to Maria and I was not disappointed ! I did my eyelash extensions for the first time ( Doll Eye ) and they came out amazing! Maria was very nice and welcoming,told me exactly how to take care of my lashes at home, the Dos and Donts. I'm definitely coming back for my refills. Thank you again ! -one happy client ! :) read more

It's been a minute since I've stopped in to see Maria but I have to say, she is great at what she does. Extremely professional, provides great recommendations and education. Her space was clean and calm. Due to recent eczema and allergy related stuff I have held off on all skin treatments but I highly recommend her services. Also their is like ONE negative comment on this feed and truly this person is disgruntled and leaving unfair and untrue comments. Thanks Maria! read more

I absolutely love Maria! She is so easy to chat with and makes you feel so welcomed. Her work is awesome! I have only gotten her microdermabrasion facials and I love them. Her prices are awesome and she is so grateful for her clients. I will continue to go to Maria as long as I am in the area. I would highly recommend her work. Thanks so much, girl!!! read more

I cannot say enough about Maria and Microbladding!! This is now part of my life like getting manicures!! I was really nervous to get this done as the thought of a blade cutting ink into my face was a tad scary! Maria is very thorough in explaining the procedure, she's very down to earth and calming and we were done it 2.5hrs, just as she said we would be. It honestly went so quick! She numbed me, we did 3 rounds of microbladding with laying ink on the fresh cuts followed by more numbing gel in between rounds. I barely felt a thing the entire time. It was painless. You have to keep them dry for 10 days afterwards - no pool, hot tub, sweating, hot yoga...TOTALLY DRY. I showered holding a hand towel over my brows. No big deal. It's the tiniest inconvenience that's completely worth the outcome! I have barely any eyebrows left after years of bad waxing jobs and was spending at least 5-10+ minutes every morning drawing my eyebrows back on my face. I hated and dreaded doing it, especially because I'm horrible at it! Not having to do that and MAYBE only filling in a little bit takes me now 20 seconds. We all know getting an extra 5-10 back in our morning routines while rushing out the door to work is a precious thing!! Well, THANK YOU Maria, for giving me back all those extra minutes of my life! See you for touch ups!! read more

If you are on the fence about getting lash extensions then you need your life changed by Maria! I went to her to get my lash extensions done for my very first time and I was so nervous about it. I had heard so many horror stories from friends that I knew how important it was to find a trustworthy person to get them done. I can't express enough how awesome Maria is! Her studio is very cute and clean. She played relaxing spa music while she applied my lashes and took the time to examine my lashes and ask me questions about the look I wanted to achieve and how we would get my look with the lashes and styles she offers. I was walked through each step of the way and informed on what she was doing next. She was even able to squeeze me in for an appointment in the early morning so that I could have them done before work. It's been about a week now and I've just booked my fill because I'm totally hooked! Plus her pricing is reasonable so it's affordable. You will not regret going to Allure studios for lashes! :) read more

Oh Maria.... this is one of those reviews that I hate to write because I selfishly want to keep her all to myself. I have been going there for lashes for over a year and I always get complimented on them which has left me utterly addicted. I love that she takes her time to make sure they look perfect each time I go, and doesn't stop at "100 lashes" like other places. She is also kind and always makes me feel so comfortable. Highly recommend her!! read more

Maria did an excellent job! It was my first time to have my eyebrows micro-bladed. She answered all my questions ,was very professional and I ended up leaving extremely satisfied!l read more

Found a Groupon for a fill and have been hooked. Maria takes her time to get to know what the client wants. And she does quality work. I can probably go a month and still have about 50% of my lashes still attached. Found myself a new spot! read more

maria is amazing! Super sweet and knows what she is doing. I always come for facials & lashes. My lashes look so natural and amazing! Don't even look fake. The pricing is amazing too! read more

Maria is AMAZING! She does such a great job with my lashes and is very flexible. I've gone to other places and I think it's safe to say Maria is my favorite to date! read more

Maria is an awesome friend and goes above and beyond for her clients and you can see that in her work. I've been going to her for a few months and I recommend her to everyone I know.. The best part is people always think my lashes are real.. I always enjoy my time spent with her. My eyes are very sensitive and she's the only person who's been able to work around my skin sensitive issues. She goes the extra mile when she does my lashes !! I wouldn't trust anyone else with my lashes.. Anytime anyone of my friends wants a good recommendation for all things permanent makeup I tell them to check her out.. I'm thinking in the near future to try Micro blading ;) just make sure and schedule a few weeks in advance because she books Up quick because she's the best of the best read more

Maria does a fantastic job of customizing exactly what you want and will look best with your style and eye shape. Her lashes last much longer than other places I have tried, and they always look amazing. I highly recommend Maria! read more

Maria did an amazing job on my lashes! Very nice & took her time I've had my eyelashes done at another place but they were already falling off with in the same week and were a bit messy and uncomfortable. With Maria I had no issues or complaints, it's been 2 weeks and they still look great read more

Maria is so amazing, she knows exactly what she is doing, she does such a beautiful job my eyelashes look natural yet full, literally does them exactly how I want them. I have gotten sooo many compliments on how amazing and natural my lashes look. She is so sweet and very patient, every time she has done a thorough job. Also she is so flexible, she came in on her day off for me ! She is awesome! 11/10 recommend her to anyone wanting to get their eyelashes done! read more

My skin is glowing!! I came to Maria for a microdermabrasion, enzyme peel and oxygen treatment. She was kind, talked me through everything and made it quick and easy. I am super happy with my results and would recommend her. I want to come back for her eyelash extensions too! read more

I Love my facial here. My face felt so clean and soft afterwards, She kept on informing me through out the entire facial what she is doing, what to expect, Her studio is so comfortable and cute... She is a professional and knows her stuff.. Maria is also a really sweet person I Highly recommend her!!! read more

I have been getting my eyelash extensions from Maria for some time now and she does the best job I have found yet. I have been to a few other places but they don't compare to the fantastic job Maria does. read more

I see that this business has very good ratings which leads me to believe that her Artistry is good. On the other hand her business skills and lack of honesty and integrity when dealing with a problem is questionable. I purchased a Groupon in November and left voice and text messages for one week before I received a response. My Groupon expired the end of December and I reiterated on every text and voice message that I want to be sure that I use this Groupon for eyebrow micro-needling before the expiration date. She only offeried me one day in December which I was unable to accept since I was flying to Florida to celebrate my husband's 70th birthday with my grandchildren and family. Then she offered me any day at the end of January and I told her I would be happy to take the appointment but I want to use my Groupon. Long story short she called me last night which was the night before my appointment to change my appointment time. I was unable to change the appointment time and then she told me that if I don't show up that she charges $100 for a no-show. She also told me she did not make it a practice to talk to her clients at night or on the weekends but she was the one who contacted me. I question her mental stability and did not want to go to her salon so I was able to get a refund from Groupon. I was very leery of being under the micro needle in her hand. Yikes!! I feel she does not run an honest business. If you decide to go there after reading this I suggest you walk eggshells with this type of personality. There are plenty of other choices out there to choose from. Save yourself the possibility of an uncomfortable encounter. read more

I went to Maria to get my eyebrows microbladed. She does an incredible job of making you feel so comfortable and her talent in giving you perfect brows is unmatched. Maria has made a loyal customer out of me! read more

Allure Studio - Permanent Makeup Near Me - Newport Beach, California

Maria is a true artist, and very professional! I've been coming to Maria for the last 2 years every time I visit Orange County (monthly). I always hate it when I'm out of state and have to go without lashes (I won't go anywhere else). Maria knows how to make your lashes enhance your eyes in a way that is truly artistic. She's well-trained in aesthetics and can do permanent make-up, Microblading, and more. Maria is very sweet, classy, kind, patient, and I have loved getting to know her. She is a lot of fun to talk with and relatable. Really can't thank you enough Maria for squeezing me in last minute last night, so that I could go back to TX with beautiful lashes! read more

I got my lashes done about 3 weeks ago. My lashes still look amazing, still very full and long. Compared to other studios I have gone to these have stayed in tact the longest. Not to mention the prices are way better. Maria is super time efficient and works with your schedule. She is super Quick to schedule with you and does an amazing job! I've gotten so many compliments :) read more

Maria is THE BEST! My eyelashes look beautiful and I have tried several other salons. She is a true expert at her craft, extremely accommodating when one has a complicated schedule such as I do. I HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend Allure. Her pricing is great as well and she is warm and friendly. Very clean, neat and cozy atmosphere. read more

Maria did an oxygen anti-aging facial for me and I was very pleased. The whole appt was wonderfully relaxing and Maria is so sweet. My skin felt amazing and received the much needed hydration I was looking for. I left with tighter feeling skin and much appreciation. Highly recommend. read more

Allure Studio - Thanks Maria! - Permanent Makeup Near Me - Newport Beach, California

Maria does a fantastic job of listening to you. She will give you the exact lashes you are looking for. Very clean environment.

I have never gotten lash extensions so I was really nervous. I made sure I did as much research as possible on the studios that offered it near me... I decided on Allure 40 minutes from my house because I saw that Maria was THAT GOOD. I arrived at my appointment a bit nervous and with an idea of what I wanted. Maria was very sweet and professional and told me that what I wanted may be too much for my lashes and because I like to look more natural it might not be the right thing to get. I AM SO GLAD I LISTENED TO HER. I love my lashes! She gave me a classic natural set and they suit me so well. I will definitely be going back read more

I purchased a group-on and was looking forward to going. However, I left multiple messages to request an appointment. It's was super sketchy because there wasn't even a message on the voicemail. Some lady named Maria finally texted me back...we had one text exchange and then she never got back to me. Not a well run business...don't recommend. read more

Not enough awesome things to write about Maria. I trusted some yelp reviews and reached out to her to try and fit me in last minute to fix some issues with my lashes done at a prior studio. She not only got me in the next day but did a phenomenal job and fixed my lashes! Price was great too! read more

I call Maria my life saver ! I've done my lashes somewhere else before and she kindly took me in and fixed all the mistakes. She examines your eyes and recommends what size would fit you perfectly. She is super nice and gentle. Every time I come home and visit i go straight to her. The products that she uses are amazing. I wish there was more stars I could give her because she is the best 10/10 read more

Maria is awesome. I went to her for a fill (less than 2 weeks after getting my lashes done elsewhere and not happy with the work) and Maria took the time to find out what I didn't like about them, what I actually wanted and when she was done, I had exactly what I wanted and more! My eyelashes still look amazing after almost three weeks. Highly recommend her!!! read more

Maria did a great job with my Microdermabrasion. My skin looked so much better after, and isn't as textured. My only suggestion would be to use softer lighting and not wear shoes that are sure loud for a more spa like experience! I will definitely be back! read more
