committed

I became an esthetician because I love helping people feel comfortable in their skin—without pressure, without confusion, and without chasing trends. Skin changes, routines shift, and life gets busy. My goal is to offer care that stays steady through all of it.

At Sandstone Studio, you’ll never be pushed into a service that doesn’t make sense for you. You’ll get honest guidance, a clear plan when needed, and treatments that support real progress over time.

Marissa is the owner and lead esthetician at Sandstone Studio. She built this space for clients who want high-standard care without feeling rushed or overwhelmed by options.

Her approach is thoughtful and direct: listen closely, choose what’s appropriate, and keep the experience consistent from start to finish.

Hi, I'm Marissa

Meet your Esthetician

Whether you’re here for corrective skincare or maintenance services, I focus on three things: clarity, consistency, and comfort. That means treatments are selected based on what your skin can handle, what your goals actually are, and what will still look and feel good after you leave.

You can expect a clean approach, thoughtful pacing, and straightforward aftercare—so you’re not left guessing what to do next.

Love from
our clients

“I originally booked because I wanted something simple and reliable, and that’s exactly what I found. The care is consistent, the standards are obvious, and the experience feels easy to return to. If I’m ever unsure what to schedule, I feel guided without feeling pushed—just clear direction and thoughtful service choices. It’s the kind of place where you leave feeling taken care of, not just ‘done,’ and that difference matters.”

My skin has never felt better since I started coming here. The treatments feel personalized and the guidance on skincare at home has made a real difference. I appreciate how comfortable and welcoming the whole experience is.

“My services always look refined and wearable. Nothing feels rushed, and the results hold up well between appointments. The standards here are noticeable. Clean, professional, and comfortable—especially for services that can feel intimidating elsewhere.”

“I came in unsure what I needed and left with a clear direction. The guidance felt thoughtful and realistic. This is the kind of care that fits into real life—consistent, straightforward, and genuinely supportive.”

“I’ve been to places where you feel rushed the moment you walk in, but that’s never the case here. Everything feels organized—booking is clear, the appointment runs smoothly, and I always know what to expect. I also appreciate that recommendations feel realistic and tailored, not like I’m being sold a dozen things. It’s consistent care, done with intention, and it’s the reason I keep coming back.”

“Booking here feels easy from start to finish. The experience is consistent, and I always leave feeling taken care of. appreciate how clear everything is—what to book, what to expect, and how to care for my skin afterward. It’s a studio I return to.”
