I cannot thank her enough. Maria has been an absolute blessing to me & my skin.I have been seeing her now for almost 4 months & I do not plan on going anywhere else. She helped me clear up & maintain my acne prone skin. She is super sweet, very knowledgeable, & takes her time every time. I am so very grateful that I came across Malu Esthetics.

I’ve been going to Maria for over a year and I won’t stop. First, she has an awesome personality, she always speaks to you in a calm and soothing tone and her energy is unbelievable. I visit her for my monthly maintenance and I am always happy with my results. She just recently convinced me to get a chemical peel and I did it. I can’t wait until peel season in the fall. I’m going to make sure I’m the first name on the book. Thank you Maria!

I absolutely look forward to my monthly appointments with Maria. My skin looks amazing since I've been going to Maria. The hyperpigmenration on my face has improved significantly after treatments she's recommended. My skin is smooth, clear & just looks rejuvenated. The bonus is Maria's kind & caring personality. She listens, let's me vent or respects if I need quiet time. It's so important to take of yourself which is why monthly facials with Maria are a priority for me.

Hands down the best Esthetician! If you haven’t been to Malu Eshtetics this is your sign to go! Maria is literally amazing and she never disappoints no matter what service she’s doing. I am super blessed to have found an Esthetician like her. She always makes you feel comfortable and welcomed and always leaves my skin glowing and lashes on point! She definitely is worth it and definitely deserves more than 5 stars! Thanks for everything Maria! Can’t wait for my next appointment!

Maria Rodriguez

¡Hola, amigos! I'm Maria Luisa Rodriguez, your skincare companion and the heart behind Malú Esthetics. Here, we don't just do skincare; we cultivate a haven where self-love and resilience are the main acts. Let's rewind to the roots of this journey.

Originally from the vibrant island of Puerto Rico, my leap to the United States in 2001 marked the beginning of an incredible transformation. Fast forward to 2007, life threw me a curveball at 14 with a car accident that left me with a shattered left cheekbone and 107 stitches on my face. It was a trial that tested every ounce of my strength, yet unbeknownst to me, it sparked the flames of my passion for skincare.

As a high school freshman, this experience lit a fire within me—a desire not just to heal my own skin but to empower others on their unique skincare journeys.

Now, here's where the plot thickens. It wasn't until my later years, at 24, after the profound loss of my mother, that I took a leap of faith and decided to embark on the entrepreneurial adventure of starting Malú Esthetics. Picture this: I opened my business right at the beginning of the COVID pandemic, unsure of how I'd navigate the challenges. Starting from scratch amid a global crisis, I not only survived but thrived.

At Malú Esthetics, we don't just see imperfections; we see the potential for strength and beauty. Our philosophy is simple: be real, be educated, and always provide unwavering support. I'm here to be your guide on this skincare adventure, sharing my personal journey to inspire confidence and resilience in each of you.

So, let's come together, where skincare isn't just a routine—it's a celebration. It's a celebration of the paths we've walked, the stories our skin tells, and the radiant future that awaits us. ¡Vamos juntos! Join me at Malú Esthetics, where your skincare journey is about more than just products—it's about embracing your unique tale and letting your skin shine.

Samantha

Hello, I'm Samantha, and I'm excited to share my journey in the beauty and skincare world. At 32, I'm balancing the SKIN life while working as a health coach alongside my fiancé. Together, we're raising three inspiring daughters with dreams of becoming future entrepreneurs.

My beauty venture started in 2005 with braiding hair, and it evolved into a love for makeup in 2010. Unbeknownst to many, I was born with a rare skin condition, leading me to use makeup as a shield. However, in July 2020, a transformative facial at Malu Esthetics shifted my perspective. Embracing imperfections, I fell in love with my skin, prompting me to swap heavy foundations for lighter alternatives.

In January 2022, I proudly graduated as a licensed Esthetician from Rizzieri Aveda School. My journey isn't just about mastering skincare procedures but making an emotional impact. Joining Malu Esthetics, a team built on honesty and genuine love, is an honor.
My passion for health and wellness extends to skin, fitness, and nutrition. I'm eager to use this expertise to help clients achieve outstanding results, changing lives one regimen at a time. As an Esthetician, I find empowerment in being an expert for the body's largest organ, contributing to mental, physical, and emotional vibrancy. Join me on this empowering journey of transformation.
