But the beauty of Maria’s treatments is that when you treat your skin – you’re treating your entire body too. This is Maria’s passion and how she makes her clients feel healthier, beautiful and rejuvenated. Maria’s studied beauty therapy before moving to Italy to gain work experience. In 2011, she launched the Laser Suite, a studio that specialized in laser hair removal, skin rejuvenation and pigmentation treatments. Over the years, this has evolved into more treatments, including chemical peels, skin rejuvenation, skin needling, plasma treatments, skin tags, treating blemishes, lines and wrinkles, and soft surgery facelifts.

It’s this personal touch that makes Solo Tu experience. more…

Customer Reviews

What people say?

I’ve been struggling with my skin for a long time and when I came to see Maria, I had little hope it would change. After seeing her for just over three months, my skin has completely transformed! I am forever grateful to Maria for giving me my confidence back and allowing my skin to glow so naturally.”
Monique Bennett
Lina is my hair soul mate. I trust her judgement and intuition completely, and always leave her salon feeling like I’m floating on air. Being in the radio industry, I can be quite spur of the moment – but Lina can always find a place for me and the perfect style for my mood.”
