3 reviews for Maria's Beauty Salon
A friend told me about this place, so I travelled from the S. Shore to try it. The staff is casual and friendly. I got a men's haircut and shampoo which looked and felt good. The price is OK. Maria and Tina are nice to talk to also. They are Vietnamese and speak perfect English.
I used to get my eyebrows waxed in the city, but decided it would be easier to get it done on my lunch break from work in malden. I found this place, and it's WAY cheaper ($7) and my eyebrows came out a lot better. They're really friendly there too, although very blunt (did you know you have a pimple? or, wow, you look horrible you should have been in earlier). Do not go here for a haircut. It's tempting, especially when someone does a good job on one thing, to want to give them your business. I tried that and my hair came out bad. Maybe that was a fluke, or maybe theyre better with different types of hair, but who knows. All i know is, go there for your eyebrow waxing!
After reading the amazing reviews, I went to Maria's - twice. The first time, Maria did a very nice job with my brows and the price cannot be beat. But, sadly, after today I will never go back.
With promises from both Maria (who was double-booked) and her assistant that the assistant was "great", I reluctantly went with her. After explaining what I wanted - my somewhat thick brows slightly arched (difficult, I admit, but possible), she asked if it was ok to make them "a little thinner." Sure, "a little thinner is fine."
But mid-way through (after a rocky first brow which she approached very hesitantly) she dropped gobs of wax all over my ear and in my hair. I have very long hair, which I even wrapped in a bun under my head before she started. Even after she doused it with oil and whatever other ointments she used, it was still sticky when I left. I cried the whole time, even before I looked in the mirror to see PENCIL THIN brows. So now I'm basically brow-less, with a sticky mess in my hair and tears running down my face. And the final blow came when they charged me full price and sent me on my way. Sorry loyal patrons, but I'm traumatized and will not be returning to Maria's.
