I was a walk in this is a one room shack she tells me it's by appt only but no where does it say that this old lady is screaming at me in front of everyone what an embarrassment for a business owner. For someone trying to just get a wax don't degrade yourself by visiting this place or spending your money here and it's Dirty and about the size of a closet read more

Best experience possible. Amazing rates. Best eyebrows and wax in LA! Always on time. Book now!!!

Truly a great experience! Marina responded to me after hours, booked me the next day over text, and then was done with my Brazilian is less than 20 minutes. All while keeping great conversation to keep me distracted. The vibe is relaxing and private. Can't wait to go back! read more

The absolute best! Marina is so thorough and detailed, and has such a gentleness, there is almost no discomfort. She also is just the loveliest, sweetest, most caring person, and I couldn't recommend her more. I had accidentally fallen upon this place when my normal wax gal was booked, and now I am never going back, and forever loyal to Marina. You're lucky if you find yourself here. :) read more

Marina is officially OPEN FOR BUSINESS! Check out her beautiful, new studio on Beverly Boulevard which offers convenient metered parking. The level of Marina's work is comparable to that of the famed Anastasia Beverly Hills, the 'eyebrow queen.' Marina is a true pro!! I was introduced to Marina in 2004, and I remain one of her most ardent supporter of her work. She is swift and efficient, but what I appreciate most about her is her candor. In addition to being skilled, she is also trustworthy. Marina and I last saw each other before the pandemic, when she was working at Smile Skin Care Salon, which had to close due to the pandemic, but when they opened, I called to make an appointment for Marina but was told she is no longer practicing and has retired! This is untrue, and it is disgraceful for Smile Skin Care to demonstrate such desperation to acquire and retain clients they never genuinely had in the first place. They should be happy to have hired someone as great and talented as Marina, whose customers follow her to the ends of the earth! Then, one day, Marina sent me a text message and I was on cloud nine! The universe has a unique way of hearing your prayers and reuniting me and Marina. This is why I am overjoyed that Marina is finally on her own! I finally saw her new space, and I couldn't be happier. It is exceptionally clean, chic, and most importantly, private. Let's help her thrive! Schedule your next appointment with Maria and you would not be disappointed! *Please note, this is not a sponsored review, but my own honest opinion* read more

I've been going to Marina for 20+ years. She is caring, kind, sweet, gracious and she does an amazing job on my eyebrows. I would never trust anyone else. I will always get my eyebrows done by Marina!!! read more

I was so sad to hear that Smile Skincare has closed permanently due to COVID. By far the best waxing services ever by Marina, I was a loyal customer for 20 years. The chain stores just don't compare. If you previously went to Marina at Smile, great news! She has opened her own lovely shop- clean, sanitary and up to all the safety standards. Marina really is the best! read more

Marina is such a PRO! I've been going to her for over a decade...she's the best in the business! Listen, waxing is never fun, but she's quick about it and makes it as painless as possible. I HIGHLY recommend going to her for all your waxing needs. She is super nice and highly skilled. read more

Marina is so sweet and pleasant! And the quality of her service is amazing. I got a Brazilian wax with her and she was thorough, took her time, and for Brazilians this wasn't that painful! I'm not from here, but now I've found an amazing place to do my waxes whenever I visit. Will definitely come back!! Thank you Marina!! read more

Marina is simply the best! I've been going to her for years, first at Smile Skin Care and now at Wax by Marina. Not only is she an expert at waxing, with an exacting attention to detail, her sweet disposition makes the whole experience such a pleasure. I felt very safe and comfortable being there even in the midst of Covid-19. Temperature was taken, masks and visor and gloves etc. Simply put, this is the place to go for an expert wax, in a sterile environment, done by a sweetheart! read more

Marina has been doing my eyebrows for almost 20 years. When I heard she was no longer at Smile, I was heartbroken. I was thrilled to hear that she had opened up a beautiful studio that is clean, inviting and a safe place to get any waxing done. Make an appointment you won't be sorry! read more

I am so glad that I found Marina! She is so kind, and makes the whole experience feel super welcoming. Her prices are very competitive, and she's extremely thorough and speedy.

I can't say enough good things about Marina! read more

I have been seeing Marina for waxing for over 20 years now, first at Smile Skin Care (both the 3rd St. and Kings Road locations) and was thrilled that she opened her own salon! Hers was one of the first appointments I made after the shut-down. Her salon is small, private, clean and safe. I have had many waxing specialists over the years, but she is the best! Marina is such a meticulous professional and makes the waxing experience the most painless of anyone I have ever been to see...and she is the sweetest, most caring person to boot! When you're ready to venture out of your pandemic cave, I couldn't recommend her more highly! Happy to put some semblance of normalcy back into my life with one of the kindest people I know. read more
