MZ Skin Care

I have had problems with acne and dark spots for a long time. I have tried to do take of my skin myself but I did not do a very good job at it and my acne didn’t get any better. I have constantly tried to choose between a derm doctor and a private skin care solution and finally choose the private skin care because visits to the doctor can be very expensive. As a last resort I finally decided I would give a try to a salon. After a lot of research on salons for skin care in the Boston area, I found that MZ skincare had excellent reviews. I booked my appointment over the phone. My first visit was great, Marianne the owner treated me. I went in for a chemical peel. She spoke to me, took time to understand my skin and its problems, my diet and suggested that I should get a facial first, to take care of my long untreated skin. She did a great job and I came back 2 weeks later for my peel. I was surprised how she remembered every detail about my skin and diet. She is very organized and keeps a file to best understand each patient. The treatment was even better than the first time. Marianne listens to your problems, makes very good suggestions (which you HAVE to follow to see the amazing results), treats your skin with great care. The best part about MZ Skincare is that my treatment doesn’t end at the session but Marianne keeps constant touch with me through email. Whenever I am in doubt I email her and she responds to all my queries at the earliest. I can already see great results on my skin. I changed my diet to a much healthy one like Marianne suggested, followed the routine and my acne and dark spots are disappearing fast. My fiancé complements on how well the treatment is working for me every morning when we wake up. I am so excited to book my next appointment. Their prices are reasonable and the service is absolutely great. Definitely recommend this place to any one who has skin problems.

Josh is great! He’s an expert on skin and a fun, well read, smart man to boot! Come and be pampered and learn the best ways to care for your skin even when away from Josh’s expert touch.

I’ve been to MZ 3 times now and I am absolutely in love with the place. Thus far, I’ve seen both Rosa and Marianne. I’ve done two facials and one chemical peel. The results have been amazing despite the short period of time that I’ve been going. I’ve struggled with persistent acne for a few years and now that it has begun to subside these two are there to work on the scars and occasional flareups. I can’t thank MZ enough. If you’re struggling with any skin concerns, this is the place to go. Also, their services are fairly priced.

Marianne was wonderful – managing to make my thorough facial relaxing and stress-​reducing. My skin looks great, her advice was smart and she exudes goodness.

Rosa is a gem! I’m a hard sell when it comes to facials, as I’ve been getting them for years and years. I can honestly say she gave me the best facial I’ve ever had yesterday. We chatted about my upcoming wedding and my long term goals for my skin. She definitely listened to my concerns, and tailored the facial to suit my skin needs. I really appreciated her attention to detail, and liked that I didn’t feel rushed at all. I left with my skin feeling refreshed and glowing. I woke up today, still feeling refreshed without any breakouts or scaring, which I have often experienced after facials.
I can’t wait to go back next month! Rosa and MZ Skin Care are now officially part of my monthly routine!
Bonus-​They give future Brides a 10% discount on all services until your wedding date! So thoughtful!

Much overdue update-​the merchant have me a refund for my original service and offered to have me come back and try again but I didn’t as I don’t think their products really works for my skin, personally speaking. They were nice and professional in all their communication despite my less-​than-​stellar first review which I very much appreciate.

I’ve been going to MZ Skin Care for two-​and-​a-​half years now and I can’t say enough good things about them! Love love love. Josh is my guy and I really look forward to seeing him every couple of weeks. He’s amazing at recommending products (but no one here makes you feel like you HAVE to buy anything), treating my weirdly sensitive-​yet-​acne prone skin, and keeping me laughing the whole time!
MZ Skin Care is absolutely worth a visit if you have problem skin, great skin but want to treat it right, are getting ready for a special occasion: whatever reason, just try it out!

I’ve been going to MZ Skin Care for almost a year, and I absolutely love it. I see Josh but I’ve also chatted with Marianne (the owner) in the reception area. Everyone working there is so welcoming, I just feel instantly relaxed. I’ve dealt with skin issues for years, and my skin is finally looking the healthiest it’s been in ages. I started going every 4 weeks but now that my skin has improved, I see Josh about every 8 weeks at his recommendation. I’ve tried a variety of treatments, and none have had any sort of bad reaction to my high sensitive/​break-​out prone skin. Josh does a great job explaining options for you, lays out pricing, and let’s you pick what you feel most comfortable with. I feel like he can answer just about any question I have about skincare. I feel like anyone with skin issues can become slightly obsessed with skincare, so it’s fun to chat about what different products do for the skin, how certain problems arise, etc. I would highly recommend MZ Skincare to anyone looking for an understanding environment to work out any skin issues!

MZ Skin Care is a phenomenal place to get a facial. I have been to Rosa about 5 – 6 times over the past year and half. She is consistently amazing. I have been to many other places for facials and always leave wondering whether or not the esthetician is feeding me nonsense just so that I buy products. I NEVER feel that way at MZ Skin Care. I leave feeling relaxed, my skin rejuvenated, and confident that I am in knowledgeable hands. I am really picky and have no tolerance when I feel as though I am just a dollar sign to a company. That’s why I keep going back to Rosa and will continue to!

Had an absolutely wonderful experience with rosa today. I have extremely sensitive skin and a bunch of trouble with various skin problems and I am already feeling so much better about the state of my skin. Ended up buying a cleanser recommended (but not pushed) by Rosa.
I will definitely be back!

I’ve been going to Marianne’s place for 3 years now. I started off with Marianne and switched to working with Mara when Marianne was away taking care of her new baby. I’ve had the greatest experience with both of them and the transition was smooth and simple. I tend to stress my skin out quite a bit with a lot of exposure to sun and chlorinated water from swimming and so on. Mara always manages to bring it back to a healthy state for me. She’s also shared a ton of tips on how I can easily maintain a routine that is a tad less abusive to my skin overall. I really love how much better my skin has gotten since I let Mara take charge of the same and always look forward to my next appt.
Hightly recommended.

I was assigned in Greater Boston area for half a year and during those times, I had an acne breakout, my first ever. Rosa was wonderfully outstanding. She helped me a lot and I’ve been using the product she recommended. She did deep pore facial with papaya mask treatment on me. My face became better. I just love her and MZ Skin Care. I wish they have one branch here in Dallas.

I typically only write reviews if something is completely outstanding or totally horrible. This place is COMPLETELY OUTSTANDING! I actually decided to go here after reading great reviews on Unilocal.I have struggled with moderate acne all of my life and a few years back developed melasma on my forehead cheeks and upper lip. I used to never leave the house without makeup and would break down in tears being a 27 year old with embarrassing acne breakouts and brown patches on my skin i could barely cover up.
This all changed when i met Rosa at MZ skincare. I have used tons of products but nothing ever really works. I was determined to get my face clear by my wedding. Rosa is seriously phenomenal. She is so patient and always answers my endless stream of questions. She always explains exactly what she is doing and why she is doing it. She gives me advice on what to do at home and what to avoid based on my skin type. We spoke about all of my issues and then she developed a plan to clear my skin. we have been doing the PCA facials monthly while i also use at home skin care products that Rosa recommended. My face has never looked better. After only about 3 months of facials and PCA peels my skin was completely transformed. My acne is basically non existent and my melasma has drastically improved. The combo of better at home care and products with the facials/​PCA peels has yielded awesome results. I knew this was going to be a process and lets face it, you cant clear this stuff up over night, but the results have completely shocked me. My skin is now even and the light spots i do have are very easy to cover up. I cant say enough great things about Rosa and the whole MZ team. Everyone is so nice and so friendly. I love going to get my treatments.
MZ has also just brought in a new makeup line — glo. I talked with Rosa about it after seeing it and then we tried on my skin. ITS AMAZING. i have tried a ton of products from sephora but this is the best. I have oily skin and want something that covers well. Most makeup i need to use a primer with and even with that before the end of the day most of the makeup has come off because of all my oil and usually causes a few breakouts. I have been using the glo pressed powder foundation and its awesome. Its a mineral based foundation and feels very light on the skin. I dont use a primer, i only need a light amount to provide full coverage and it has not made me break out. It stays on very well. I HIGHLY recommend this.
All in all i give Rosa and MZ a glowing recommendation. I love this place, it has changed my life.

After reading the Unilocal reviews, I scheduled a facial. I was happy to get an opening with Josh. He was so great and helpful. I appreciated that he recommended a facial for me that was less than their «standard» facial and that he also made recommendations for me knowing about the products that I already used. I will definitely be visiting again!

I came to Josh for a series of facials leading up to my wedding. This is the only place where I’ve gotten facials and didn’t look like my face got tortured when I left.
Josh always made me feel comfortable, and does a great job explaining what he’s about to do. He’s also great to talk to and very friendly. He recommended an at-​home routine, but didn’t push me to buy a whole line of products. He also didn’t upsell me on more expensive treatments if it didn’t make sense. By the time my wedding came, by skin looked and felt MUCH better.
I highly recommend MZ Skin Care and Josh.

Go like MZ’s Facebook page right now! I was lucky enough to win a complimentary organic facial just for sharing one of their pictures.
I booked my appointment with Emily, the assistant manager. She was super accommodating and sweet. She set me up with Marianne, the spa’s owner.
Marianne made me feel right at home. We went over my skin type, what I would like to improve and my current skin-​care regimen. She didn’t make me feel like a horrible person for using a drug-​store face wash after running out of Dr. Brandt. She recommended an at-​home skincare routine and gave me some great tips on things I should be doing every morning and night.
Now for the actual facial. It was so relaxing I almost fell asleep. All the products are organic, chemical-​free and smell great. (You can eat them — they’re that natural.) I felt them working the entire time.
When it was over, I could feel and SEE a difference. My skin was glowing (something it rarely does) and felt incredibly soft. I’ve only had one other facial and I left feeling like I wanted to wash my face. I remember being disappointed that I didn’t see a difference. This experience was the complete opposite. I want to go again and again!
Marianne hugged me on the way out and gave me a sample of a serum to apply at night. I will definitely be back. Marianne –you are a miracle worker!

Without a doubt, one of the best facials I have ever had. Rosa was super sweet and incredibly knowledgable. I have been having facials regularly for the past 7 years at Elizabeth Grady, but decided to give MZ Skincare a try when I saw the deal on Gilt City. I am glad I did. It is a beautiful space with a private lot. I loved the organic skincare products Rosa used on my skin. I ended up buying the honey mask and the rose glow spray. My skin was glowing afterwards. I will definitely be back!

I can’t remember the young man’s name but my esthetician made my skin glow!
There was free parking, the office was super chill and relaxing, and pretty convenient to get to if you live on that side of the water.
He suggested some products but never pressured me to buy anything, and was super nice about answering all of my skincare questions.
I remember the prices being reasonable, too.

I’ll never let anyone touch my face ever again.
After a stressful semester and finishing my finals, I came back home for winter break feeling and looking like a hot mess. My life choices were really questionable: balancing 5 classes, 20 hours a week at work, poor diet and sleeping schedule and little to zero exercising. I felt like shit. So somewhere between self-​loathing and eating, I decided to take up MZ Skin Care on their holiday special: $ 85 for an Oxygenating Facial with Eye and Lip Treatment.
The Oxygenating Treatment is a little different than your typical facial. Instead of the standard cleansing, steaming, extraction, and the application and removal of several products and masks, this treatment just layers products, each new layer working with the old one to rejuvenate the skin. Mara did an amazing job as usual. Again, I dozed off during the massage portion. I left feeling so relaxed and no exaggeration, my skin instantly felt and looked so much better. It’s been about 3 weeks now and my skin is still behaving. I absolutely LOVE this place. Even with my college student budget, I would still choose MZ Skin Care over any cheaper alternative.

Mirror, Mirror on the Wall, who has the best skin of them all?
What, you say? ME? Why thank you!
I had a terrific facial this morning with Josh (the «simply organic»), and it was my first-​ever time at MZ Skin Care. I had seen the glowing Unilocal reviews earlier in July, bookmarked the salon, and then happened upon a Bloomspot deal for facials. I decided it all must be good-​skin karma, so I snatched up two facials, e-​mailed for an appointment, got a reply in about 6 minutes (6 minutes!!!) and was here two days later.
Josh is so nice and funny that I could have chatted with him for a few hours, but besides being incredibly nice, he is great at what he does. He told me he likes to do extractions, and I love having them done, so I was in heaven (weird, I know, but if you love having this done, you’ll know what I mean).
I left an hour later with soft, glowing and CLEAN skin… even on this ridiculously humid day. I’ll be back in 4 – 6 weeks for my next facial, and will continue to stare at my pores until then :)
FYI: Regular price for this facial, I believe, is $ 95, which is very reasonable, and there is free parking on Rte 9, in the small private lot or on Heath St behind the building. Or take the T to the Chestnut Hill Stop and walk 5 – 7 mins.
