Meet your Esthetician

Hi, I’m Anamaria, licensed esthetician and devoted skin nerd with a background in Psychology

My journey into esthetics began from a deep fascination with the connection between the mind and skin. With a background in Psychology and advanced esthetics training in Romania, France and US, I’ve devoted my practice to helping clients rediscover confidence and calm through personalized skincare.

My philosophy

Calm and results are not opposites. When the nervous system relaxes, the skin can respond. I listen first, so I can understand your goals, your stressors, and the rituals that fit your real life. Every decision in the room flows from that: gentle where we need to be, precise where it counts.

My mission

My mission is to empower you to feel at home in your skin — radiant, resilient, and restored. Whether you’re addressing breakouts, early signs of aging, or simply craving a moment of stillness, each facial I design is crafted just for you.

Can’t wait to meet you :X

What Sets me apart.

01 / Empathy

Understanding and empathizing with your unique concerns and skin challenges, creating a supportive atmosphere where you can feel comfortable sharing your needs. You are our priority! We strive to create an inviting atmosphere where every client feels valued and appreciated.
02 / Integrity

We offer only the highest quality services and products, ensuring honesty and transparency in every treatment.
03 / Finesse

That little bit of extra, that little extra extension and that little extra effort and attention to detail. Refinement and delicacy of performance, execution or artisanship with every facial created.

My Method

01 / Consultation

Your experience starts with a thoughtful intake process. You’ll complete a short online skin health questionnaire, followed by a personal 10-minute consultation at the studio.

Together, we’ll explore your skincare routine, lifestyle factors, and any concerns such as acne, sensitivity, or signs of aging. This time is dedicated to understanding your skin—so I can craft a fully customized facial treatment designed to support your specific needs and long-term glow.

02 / Treatment

Each facial is a one-of-a-kind experience, crafted with European techniques and a personalized touch. Every treatment is tailored to your skin’s needs—whether you’re seeking anti-aging, acne support, or deep hydration.

I combine advanced technology, expert facial massage, and professional-grade products—including the acclaimed Environ skincare line—to deliver visible, lasting results. This is not just skincare—it’s a ritual of transformation.

03 / The Studio

A cozy, boutique-style oasis offering one-on-one skincare in a peaceful, light-filled space. As a licensed solo esthetician, I provide fully personalized facials in a private, welcoming setting designed to calm your mind and nourish your skin.

Located in Gold Coast the studio is easily accessible by walking, public transportation, and convenient parking is available just steps away.

With touches of soft aromatherapy, and intimate ambiance, this studio is more than a skincare destination—it’s a quiet escape where modern skin treatments meet soulful care.

04 / Aftercare

Personalized support beyond the facial.

Your skincare journey doesn’t end when you leave the studio—it’s just beginning. After your facial, I’ll be happy to guide you in building an effective, results-driven skincare routine tailored to your unique skin type and concerns.

As a licensed esthetician in Chicago trained extensively in professional skincare, I offer expert recommendations using the same clinical-grade products I trust in my treatment room. I proudly retail both Environ Skincare and Exquisite Skincare, two highly respected brands known for their results in addressing concerns like acne, aging, and skin sensitivity.

Whether you’re looking to enhance your results, simplify your routine, or finally find products that truly work, I’m here to support you every step of the way—with knowledge, care, and curated solutions.
