I have been seeing Maddie for many years. She is highly skilled, well trained, compassionate, and professional. I recently had a two hour facial, I combined a number of treatments. I slept for half of it because it was so relaxing and soothing. My skin has never looked so good, and I am 70 years old. The setting is very clean, quiet and relaxing. I could not recommend Marlinda's more highly! read more

I've been going to Malinda's for years because she always pays incredible attention to detail and truly understands brow mapping and facial balance especially when navigating my eyebrow scar. Her staff is just as detail oriented and skilled, so I never need to worry about the quality of service when booking! She's been my go-to for brows for 7+ years now, and cannot rave about her work enough read more

I have had such an amazing experience here with Tina and Maddie, and just had the pleasure of working with Marlinda herself. The team truly cares about their clients and makes everybody feel so welcome and cared for! I have been getting my eyebrows here for years and cannot imagine going anywhere else! What a true gem in Burlingame... a place to feel pampered and walk away feeling good and taken care of! read more

Marlinda is amazing and so sweet! She made me feel so comfortable the minute I walked and explained everything to me in detail. She is patient and answered all of my questions. My eyebrows look amazing, I could not be happier. If you're looking for microblading or shadowing, she's your go to! read more

MARLINDA'S spa is very luxurious. The staff is very nice and welcoming. Appointments are at the ready.

I had an AMAZING facial by Tina. I left with the most glowy skin, and she provided me with excellent recommendations that helped me maintain healthy skin with a simple regimen that wasn't overwhelming at all. I will be back again in a couple of months!! read more

Really lovely and sweet. Took their time. Family run business. You can pay with venmo.

The service here is above and beyond! It is in a perfect location with a parking garage. Jared White the masseuses is the best! Give yourself the gift of massage with him. You won't regret it! read more

I've never had a facial before and was eager to experience my first one, based off of a friends reference I gave Marlinda's a try and have to say my first facial experience with my aesthetician Madeline was amazing. Upon entering the business I noticed that it was clean, well decorated, and comfortable. I was kindly greeted and lead back to my room which was quiet and comfortable as well. Madeline introduced herself and went over what we where going to get into as well as commenting how much fun she was going to have to working on my face. This facial was apparently much needed :) I got comfortable on the table and Madeline started working on my face, her smooth and soft hands made the perfect experience that much better. Face mask, dermal infusion, steaming, blackhead extraction. Wow! I never knew what I have been missing out on. Throughout our hour long session I was so relaxed as she massaged my arms and neck between transitions that I nearly fell asleep! Upon finishing I now feel like a whole layer of dirty ness was just peeled from my face, I literally feel like I'm glowing! Overall great first time experience and I'll definitely be back when my face is due for another one, thanks Madeline for making my first time experience so pleasant! Can't wait to come back. read more

Marlinda's has since moved but their new location is petite and just as nice as the previous one. The treatment was thoroughly relaxing, as usual, and very welcomed. Another star here is Lorenz. I had a mommy brain moment and could not locate my wedding band after my treatment. I was in a panic and called Lorenz. He searched the room I was in and also called my massage therapist after she had left the spa to check with her. Thankfully, I found my ring at home where I left it (darn mommy brain!). But the best part was that Lorenz called me the following day to follow up and ask if I had found my ring. Now if that's not customer service, I don't know what is! read more

I was very eager to visit Marlinda's since there were very few counties opening for wax service. This was my first time and I chose it because of its perfect review on Yelp. Before COVID, I had Brazilian wax as my normal routine and it has been three months I didn't do the wax. I totally understood it could be super painful since the hair has grown much longer. But I would never thought that I would have light bleeding after the service. I felt the aesthetician was a bit rough on treating my skin and I'm not sure if it's because of her skill or the wax quality. There was still wax left on my skin and I had to spend efforts washing them off afterward. read more

I've been seeing Jared for over a year (maybe even 2 by now). His personal experience with trauma gives him a unique ability to approach long term injuries and make it a relaxing experience at the same time. He's communicative about pressure and how things are working. He's also just a really cool guy :D read more

Marlinda is professional, sweet and oh soooo talented. She has given me eye brows for the first time in my life. They are gorgeous. Yesterday I had my first session with permanent eye liner and I couldn't be happier. She met with me for a consultation before the actual session which I loved. She is very knowledgeable about permanent makeup and what would look best on my face. Her spa is clean, organized and stylish. I will definitely be going back for facials (will be my first time getting one at her spa, but can't wait to book it!) I recommend Marlinda for permanent makeup. So worth it. LOVING my new look! Thanks Marlinda read more

Marlinda has given me beautiful eyebrows! She is so talented and meticulous! Very close attention to detail. She is also very warm and made me feel comfortable for both procedures. So happy with my new look! Thank you!!! read more

Although I miss seeing Stacee here, my time with Dimitra today to get a last enhancement and lift was top notch. She explained everything that she was going to do and any potential discomfort (never came) or chemical smell (nada) that might happen. She is very thoughtful, knowledgeable and a joy to talk to. It really ticks me off that she's only 25! I will be back.... read more

Second visit with Marlinda, she's the best. If you're looking for a skin care spa in the Peninsula give Marlinda's a shot. Support small businesses with great customer service, you won't regret it! read more

I called to see if they had any appointments available since I was in the neighborhood and Lorenz who picked up the phone was so nice & friendly that I had to try this place out. I only talked to him for a few minutes, but I felt like I've known him for years. Not only that he was able to get me in within 30 minutes which was great!! When I walked in he was so nice and offered me water. I saw Stacee who was really nice and now I think I've found my perfect place! The prices are great and the people are so friendly here I can't imagine going anywhere else! Lorenz, hope you enjoyed the cupcake. See you next time! :) Thanks Abby & Yelp for leading me here! read more

I found Marlinda's by accident online, when I was desperate to come to San Mateo County to get waxed since I can't do that at home in San Francisco because of Covid restrictions. I had no expectations at all, but whoa, I left with the best waxing job I've ever had, some great skincare recommendations, and two new friends! Marlinda and Mia are engaging and lovely. They are following Covid cleanliness protocol to a T, so you'll feel completely safe and unexposed. My waxing and tinting looks AMAZING (I was actually going there to fix a botched job someone at another salon did a week ago) and I feel like a new person. Even after the restrictions lift, I might keep traveling down to Burlingame to see them as it was fantastic. read more

Katey is amazing! I travel from Santa Cruz, CA to her because I have had my share of bad wax jobs and am not willing to risk it! She is very gentle and careful. Definitely recommend booking with her. The rest of the staff is very friendly and the environment is great! I get facials and waxing from Katey, my skin is very sensitive but I never get irritation after any of the services. read more

I've been booking with Katey for services since December. Yesterday was my first time back since SIP and I felt very comfortable in the environment. The staff are very serious about keeping everyone safe sanitized and healthy! Thank you Marlindas. read more

I have been a long standing customer of Marlinda's for 15 years. I enjoy the serenity, custom care and complete spa services offered.

FINALLY pulled the trigger on getting a Brazilian after YEARS of shaving EVERYDAY! I've been wanting to try it for a LONG time! After searching yelp for an hour it so, I decided on Marlinda's! AND on Stacie after reading nothing but great reviews about her and how she makes you feel at ease (which helps %100 if your a Brazilian virgin!) Stacie was awesome! She was talkative(but not annoying talkative) and kept me at ease and my mind off the pain! I highly recommend her if your a newbie! And a forewarning, I don't care what anyone tells you, it HURTS! And i can take a lot of pain, but come on, having your ladybits waxed is gonna hurt regardless BUT if you have someone good at what they do like Stacie, It definitely makes the pain A LOT more tolerable ;) Woohooo! I'm happy with the end result too! Thank you Stacie! I will be back, hopefully not too soon ;) read more

I absolutely love this place! They staff is so friendly and welcoming, as well as precautious given the current state of things. I had my facial with Katey and she was so sweet and knowledgeable. The facial it self was great, extremely relaxing. Seriously, I can be quite particular when it come to my face! I felt well taken care of, will definitely be coming back. read more

As a first time client, I always get a little apprehensive of trying a new place. I found out that I had no reason to be nervous. I was extremely pleased with the beautiful and warmed location and Marlinda was very professional and made me feel immediately at ease. She was also extremely thorough during my hair removal service and the experience was almost painless. So far this is one of the best experiences I had in the Peninsula. I will definitely come back and highly recommend her services. read more

I'm not sure what happened but Stacee botched my daughter's eyebrows yesterday. I'll be posting a photo of how she looked when she left their shop yesterday. I left a voice-mail and email and didn't get a response to either. I had my husband call this morning and he was able to get in touch with them. They did refund the charges and offered to correct the job but until Marlinda returns, we're going to go elsewhere. read more

MARLINDA'S - I'm not sure what happened but Stacee botched my daughter's eyebrows yesterday. - Skin Care Near Me - Burlingame, California

For my first B-wax, I was extremely nervous, but reading reviews on Yelp about Marlinda's being the closest thing to a painless waxing experience made me check it out. The place is very cute, well-maintained, and VERY clean, and the entire staff is SO nice! Mia was my aesthetician, and she was so friendly, walked me through the whole thing and made me feel, surprisingly, COMFORTABLE, about what was about to happen. The actual waxing-- well, yeah it hurt, but like someone said in an earlier review, she was holding up a conversation, keeping me engaged, and therefore distracting me from what the pain probably could've been. The best part was that it was over in less than 10 minutes, by the time it was done there was no residual pain, and i took a lollipop from their little stash (just like the dentist, right?) :) All in all a great experience, Mia really made it work, and the results were GREAT! i'll be going back again soon! read more

I've been meaning to write a review for quite some time but finally getting around to it. I've been seeing Mia since moving back to the bay area summer 2019. There are truly no words to describe how amazing she is (in addition to being so kind). After moving back, my skin was going a bit crazy from weather changes and stress. I've been getting the dermal infusion facial every month in addition to other treatments (peels, fire and ice, masques, etc) based on her recommendation. I can honestly say that my skin has never looked better. Regardless of what I'm booked for, she analyzes my skin and makes a decision on if we need to alter the treatment. I have complete trust in whatever she recommends. read more

The only place I trust with my eyebrows! I've been coming here since the first time I've ever had my eyebrows waxed by a professional -- since 2012! They are punctual, clean, and very quick with their service. Last time I've visited (September 2018) I didn't even realize that my session was over because we were just chatting the entire time and I didn't feel a thing! Not only are my eyebrows extremely well kept and even now, I never get any post-wax skin issues at MARLINDA'S, which is surprising to me because my sensitive skin tends to break out and get irritated whenever it is waxed. Also, a very nice and clean waiting room. You don't even realize you're at a salon! read more

Love seeing Mia, Marlinda's daughter. She's very knowledgeable with process & products. She's also fun to visit with. My skin looks amazing! read more

I enjoyed a relaxing and rejuvenating facial today with Maddie. She made me feel welcome on this first visit and the results of my treatment are great. I will definitely make a return visit. read more

First and foremost thank you yelpers for helping me find this gem! Second, Khrystyna is the bomb! It's always nerve wrecking to find that one person you allow touch your brows (especially while growing them out!). Khrystyna knew exactly what I was looking for and made me feel comfortable during the process. I am so happy I found her:) read more

MARLINDA'S - Just what I needed! My brows are more tamed! - Skin Care Near Me - Burlingame, California

I have been a customer of Marlinda's for many years, and have followed her shop and staff through her moves. I have never received anything less than stellar service from Marlinda and her staff. The ladies in the shop are always pleasant, whether they are doing my service or not. Cristina has been my go to girl for years, and even though she isn't there but one weekend a month, I wouldn't go anywhere else. That speaks volumes to the type of work ethic Marlinda has in her establishment. I saw the negative posts below and couldn't help but comment, so what if your esthetician left? Follow your friend and be happy. We all know an actual customer wouldn't waste time writing a post like that, especially making a profile JUST to review the shop. All in all, Marlinda's is a wonderful place for an afternoon of relaxation. read more

I had gone to MARLINDA 4 years ago after years of overplucking my eyebrows that looked like bushes with missing branches. Wow, what a fantastic artist and I emphasize artist she is. She tattooed/tinted my brows with such perfection all hand designed to your specific face shape, size, contours. I could not imagine how this artist could make the brows so natural looking but enhanced and beautiful. Today I went back 4 years later mind you, as they needed touch-up/re-tattooing from the amount of time in the sun I spend. Well not to disappoint, MARLINDA re-did my brows and I am so happy, actually ecstatic with the results again. Aside from just being a really nice and pleasant person, is truly amazing in her field. If you are considering brow enhancement, I would recommend her best in her field. Forget the razor that cuts your skin and bleeds color, go see MARLINDA. Money well spent and life long customer! read more

I got a facial this past time. I really enjoyed the facial. Final step before leaving was to have SPF applied. As I am clearly not fair skinned the SPF that was initially chosen left an extremely obvious white cast. I was going to remove it as soon as I got back to my car. Fortunately - Mia noticed and was able to apply something else. So all that to say my feedback would be to have SPF options that cater to all skin tones to avoid applying products to someone's face unnecessarily. read more

Marlinda's is a beautiful and warm and such a pleasant atmosphere. The moment you walk in you feel welcomed. I have to say, Marlinda is just as sweet an kind as can be. When I walked in, I had no eyebrows. My eyebrows are perfect. Ladies if you are looking to have permanent make up of like me, to have beautiful eyebrows, Marlinda's is the place to go and Marlinda herself is the person to do them! read more

The place is clean, inviting ambience. Service is excellent. My facials are always superb, the products are the best, my to go esthetician is Marylin, she has the hands of an angel , very professional and knowledgeable, my skin looks better for days after my facials. Definitely recommend this place read more

While I did not have the most pleasant waxing experience, the owner and esthetician worked quickly to respond to my concerns and I feel good about the outcome. While my first experience was not what I expected I am open to now giving it another try read more

As always, Marlinda and her staff provide excellent service. I've been coming here for three years now and quality of service is consistently impeccable. I've tried Brazilians, extended bikini, bikini and of course, I've bought some beauty products as well. read more

MARLINDA'S - Skin Care Near Me - Burlingame, California

I've been going to Marlinda's since before the pandemic and Katey has been taking care of my Dermalinfusion treatment, she is amazing, she always knows what my skin needs. The spa is amazing and the staff very warm and welcoming. read more

I'm so happy I decided to try Marlinda's for the first time. I had a waxing appointment with Mary and I couldn't be more pleased with her. It was honestly the easiest waxing experience I've ever had. Mary has 10 years of experience and it shows; she was conversational and meticulous the whole time. I felt completely comfortable and I'm happy to say that Mary has gained a new loyal customer, thanks again! Also, make sure you bring cash for tips as you don't have a tipping option when paying with a credit card. read more
