I’ve been seeing Monina for years for the most comfortable waxing experience I’ve ever had; but recently treated myself to her customized facial. I left feeling and looking healthier, glowing, and de-puffed! She has also custom mixed powder foundation for me when my go-to brand discontinued my (admittedly unique and complex!) shade. She is a sweet soul with a kind heart but professional talents beyond measure; I highly recommend her for any beauty and aesthetic needs!

I love Monina! As A Boudoir photographer. She has been my primary hair and makeup artist for over 7 years. She's extremely experienced. Her work is immaculate and she listens to what her clients want. More recently I've started going to her monthly for facials and it's always such an enjoyable and relaxing experience. My skin feels renewed and rejuvenated afterwards and so do I!

I had the most wonderful facial last night with Monina at Moderne Beauty! From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed—the space is bright, cozy, and modern, with super easy parking (always a plus!).

Since this was my first visit, Monina took the time to thoroughly assess my skin, ask about my skincare routine, and understand my top concerns. She wasn’t just there to give me a facial—she educated me on what would benefit my skin long-term. Her expertise and care truly stood out!

I wanted to focus on skin elasticity, and Monina customized the entire experience just for my skin. She used some fancy tools (which made the process extra fun!), and everything felt so relaxing. My skin looks and feels amazing! And to top it all off, she finished with the most fabulous head massage—pure bliss!

This was more than just a facial—it was a luxurious self-care experience. If you're looking for a knowledgeable, thoughtful esthetician who truly cares about your skin, I highly recommend Moderne Beauty.

At 56, I had only experienced three facials in my life, and my skin was looking dull. Since my first visit to Monina at Moderne Beauty, she has done three facials for me, and the difference is incredible—my skin is so much brighter! I've now made it a monthly self-care gift to myself because of the amazing results. The customer service is top-notch; I feel truly heard, and Monina has crafted a personalized plan for my skin. Even my mom commented that my skin hasn’t looked this good in years!

On top of that, I've been using the collagen liquid that Monina recommended and carries at her studio. I’ve struggled with aging spots on my face, but after just one month of using Collagene, I noticed my skin’s dullness starting to improve, and the spots began to lighten. Now, after three months, the spots are significantly lighter, my hair is thicker, and my skin is glowing. Even my daughters have noticed the difference! I couldn’t be happier with the results. Thank you, Monina for your skill, your advice and your love of caring for people!

Monina and Michelle were great to work with! They did my hair and makeup as well as my bridesmaids' makeup for my wedding and everyone looked so beautiful! Not only did everyone look beautiful, but we felt beautiful too! Monina is so sweet and knowledgable, I highly recommend booking her for your wedding!

Monina is thoughtful, detail oriented, communicative and punctual. I've been seeing her now for over 4 years and I wouldn't go anywhere else for waxing!

Monina is a wonderful esthetician.She knows and understands skincare and knows exactly what type of facial my skin needs. I’m so lucky to have found her and I love the way my skin feels after every appointment. I’ve definitely noticed my skin looking and feeling better. I highly recommend Monina for your facial needs.
