Hey there!
I´m Maria, a self-care queen & licensed esthetician.
✨ My Backstory ✨
I went on a long entrepreneurial
journey to get here...
It’s been a journey to get here… and I’m so glad you’re here.
I’m Maria—licensed esthetician, acne specialist, and founder of The Beauty Plug in Los Angeles. With over eight years of experience (including advanced training at Burke Williams), my mission is simple: to help you feel confident in your skin.
But this didn’t happen overnight. I’ve been on a long entrepreneurial journey—filled with hard lessons, restarts, and a whole lot of growth. I’ve built The Beauty Plug from the ground up with heart, hustle, and a deep love for what I do.
I specialize in acne, hyperpigmentation, and Korean skincare, and I’m obsessed with staying up to date on the latest innovations and advanced treatments. Education is everything to me—I’m constantly investing in training for both myself and my team so we can bring you the best of the best.
At The Beauty Plug, every treatment is fully customized to your skin’s unique needs. No two faces are the same, so your care shouldn’t be either. Whether you’re here to clear your acne, heal your skin barrier, or finally feel confident going makeup-free—know that you're in the right hands.
This is your space to feel seen, supported, and seriously pampered.
Welcome to your small slice of sanctuary. 💫
Whether you’re dealing with severe acne or looking to enhance your skin’s overall appearance, I use advanced techniques and the latest skincare products to deliver tailored treatments to each of my clients.
I also understand the importance of relaxation and self-care. That's why I strive to offer a spa-like experience, ensuring that from the moment you arrive, you are pampered and rejuvenated, leaving you feeling refreshed and renewed.
