"You aren't just getting an esthetician. You're getting a skincare bestie!"

I’ve been seeing Deborah every 3-4 weeks for almost a year and I can’t recommend her enough. If you’re looking for someone who truly cares about her customers and is deeply passionate about skin health, you must see her. You aren’t just getting an esthetician. You’re getting a skincare bestie!

Deborah took time at every appointment to make sure I understood what she was doing and why—from explaining the various skin layers to emphasizing the importance of reducing inflammation for hyperpigmentation. Overall, my skin clarity improved drastically. When I felt frustrated by my skin flare-ups, Deborah was just one text away. Thank you so much, Deborah! I am forever grateful for you!

I've been struggling with acne for years...I'm so happy that I found Deborah!
"I've been suffering with acne for years and have tried all the available store products you can buy and nothing seemed to help! I was finally referred to Deborah the Skin Maven! Deborah is amazing and truly cares about her patients and wants to not only improve your skin but also the way you feel about yourself! She is very knowledgeable about so many treatment options and recommends the appropriate products for your take home regiment. I'm so happy that I found Deborah as I've experienced so many improvements with my skin! Thank you Deborah the Skin Maven!

Kyle T.

I had the best facial of my entire life my skin gleamed for weeks!!!! The products are also very gentle and feel so good on your skin! Her studio feels like home and she doesn't offer any pressure when discussing product or services. Also she is open to text anytime you encounter a skin concern. I felt really comfortable and I'm good hands with Deborah! If your looking for an expert she is your gal! Thank you Deborah for being my skins new bff!"

Jasmine E.

You aren't just getting a esthetician. You're getting a skincare bestie!
"I've been seeing Deborah every 3-4 weeks for almost a year and I can't recommend her enough. If you're looking for someone who truly cares about her customers and is deeply passionate (and knowledgeable) about skin health, you must see her. . When she says she's here for her clients and to text her with questions, she really means it. You aren't just getting a esthetician. You're getting a skincare bestie. Overall, my skin clarity improved drastically from my first appointment. Thank you so much, Deborah, for being on my team and helping me learn and understand my skin. I am forever grateful for you!"

Allyn W.

I was wanting to revive my damaged skin from years of abuse at the beach
"Simply stated, Deborah (The Skin Maven) is the best! I started seeing Deborah last summer when I was wanting to revive my damaged skin from years of self imposed abuse at the beach. Deborah's experience and expertise is unmatched and my results have been incredible! I have continued to see Deborah monthly for my skin care maintenance and she always does a phenomenal job! Hands down, she is the most knowledgeable skin care professional in the the South Bay! If you are looking for the best skin care in the area, look no further! Deborah is definitely the Skin Maven!!"

Steve B.

I feel much more capable and confident to take care of my skin
"For a most reasonable price I learned Deborah would do a "virtual facial"—send products to my home and teach me how to do in-home facials. Having a skincare professional watch my home habits and help me improve upon them was like having a teacher in my bathroom, signing me off on my self-care skills. My way of washing my face and how I apply skin care products has been upgraded, and I feel much more capable and confident to take care of my skin for years to come. I truly believe this service is something that everyone interested in taking care of their skin should experience at least once in their lives. "

Jessica W.

She worked with me to curate a home care plan that wouldn't break the bank
"Left my facial with Deborah GLOWING! She is incredibly knowledgeable and shares her knowledge with you (in a respectful manner). I love the detail she put into everything, from assessing the products I use at home to covering every question/concern I had and more. Not to mention, everything she did to my skin during the treatment felt amazing. I especially loved the oxygen mist! As a student, I have a tight budget, and she worked with me to curate a home care plan that wouldn't break the bank. This is tough to find, and made me feel so empowered. Thank you Deborah!

Dasee C.

I hardly wear makeup anymore, and I receive so many compliments on my skin
"Deborah has completely transformed my skincare routine! While I haven't struggled with severe skin issues, the difference that a Skin Maven Facial makes is unmatched. Deborah's expertise comes from her years of experience and education in skincare, as well as her knowledge of the latest technologies and methods for maintaining skin health. I hardly wear makeup anymore, and I receive so many compliments on my skin. When people ask about my secret, I proudly tell them I owe it all to my wonderful esthetician, The Skin Maven!"

Nicole M.

She's the only one I trust with my skin
"I have been getting facials with Deborah for almost 4 years. When I first met her, I had some issues with acne. She provided me with wonderful education and advice on how to improve my skin. I have seen her consistently and my skin is grateful. Along with my skincare regimen, I believe that the monthly facials I get with Deborah contributes to my clear and glowy skin. I often get compliments on how great my skin looks! I recommend her to all my family and friends. If you are looking for a consistent, reliable person give Deborah a try! She's the only person I trust with my skin."

Sarah S.

Natural products are customized for your own skin
"I found Skin Maven about a year ago. I'm walking by and decided to give it a chance. Little did I know how owner has been working with skin for over 40 years and has been a tremendous help for me getting my skin back after Covid. Skin Maven uses both homemade and natural products are customized for your own skin. They also really clean out my pores and exfoliate, which is important to me. Lucky I found this great place !!!"

Hayley C.

She simplified my skin care regimen
"Debra is by far the Best! I had the pleasure of experiencing a long awaited and much needed facial and I can tell you that my skin never looked better. She is very kind, extremely knowledgeable about all the products that I asked her about. She simplified my skin care regimen as well. I have received so many compliments about my skin as well. She is truly passionate and cares about making a difference. I can wait to schedule my visit this month!!!"

Martha D.

Drastically resurfaced my skin and lightened my sun damage
"Where has she been all my life! Being a long-time sufferer of chronic break-outs, I am now overjoyed to say that my skin is clear and stays that way! Deborah did a set of mild "quickie" peels on me that have drastically resurfaced my skin and lightened my sun damage. Maintaining the personalized skin-care regime she gave me has given me lasting results. Good bye full coverage foundation, hello tinted moisturizer!"

Amanda M.

Great Suggestions and products
"Wow! What a professional. Great suggestions and products. Lovely facial, delightful conversation (when I wanted it) Has so many options to offer and I will return soon."

Wendy B.

I really love her products and use them religiously
"I've been having facials with Deborah for many many years. Once you go to her, it's really hard to go to anyone else. She's just that good, that knowledgeable, and that caring. Not to mention how great my skin looks... for being 61. I get compliments all the time on my skin! I also had my son go when he was in his teen years and suffered from acne and she was a magician and got his skin clear within months. On another note, I really love her products and use them religiously."

Ann A.

Her facials are great and the products are too
"Deborah Berry and The Skin Maven are wonderful! A friend of mine recommended her. My skin has never looked so good. She has been a tremendous asset in my skin care regimen. She even identified a problem spot on my face and recommended I have my dermatologist look at it. Sure enough, it was a squamous cell carcinoma. I can't praise Deborah highly enough! Her facials are great and the products are too."

Joan L.

With her facials, you get results
"Deborah knows and cares about the skin! With her facials, you get results. She’s extremely reliable, caring & efficient. Really enjoy working with her!"

Laura Peterson

I was so grateful to find Deborah and I'll be going to her for a lifetime
"I been seeing Deborah for years. It started with cystic acne, and through education, extractions and treatments, I now have beautifully clear skin. My newest favorite treatment is Rezenerate, it’s been absolutely wonderful for plumping and brightening, and the results are instant. I also love all of her products, namely the cleansing gel, botanical oil and masks. I’ve gotten my family and friends on the products as well, they can’t stop ordering them! I was so grateful to find Deborah and I’ll be going to her for a lifetime."

Cailley B.

Deborah is absolutely phenomenal when it comes to all things skin—especially facials! The BEST Face Massages!
"Deborah is absolutely phenomenal when it comes to all things skin—especially facials! I have been going to her for over 6 years and have seen a dramatic change in my skin. She takes her time, informs you about what she is doing, and lets you relax while she gives the best face massages! Also, the products that she has recommended to me to use at home have further cleared up the impurities on my face! Deborah is truly the skin maven!"
