If you want a massage that cures deep-seated stress and actually melts away rock-solid knots, Maria is a miracle worker. She has an amazing gift for finding every single tense spot and pressing it just right. I left feeling light, amazing!
Millie’s facial also hit the spot and left my skin feeling smooth and cleansed....more

I had such an amazing experience getting a facial with Millie. She was so detailed and thorough throughout the entire facial, and she made me feel so comfortable and relaxed the whole time. You can really tell how passionate and knowledgeable she is about skincare. My skin felt incredibly hydrated afterward and was literally glowing. My face looked and felt so refreshed, smooth, and healthy like never before. I would definitely recommend Millie to anyone looking for a great facial, I can’t wait to come back....more

Maria by far has given me the best massage I have ever experienced. For example, I went to physical therapy for nine months with barely any relief and just to visit with her Massage I was completely back to normal. She has hands of gold!...more

I've been going to Maria for the past few years, and she is much more than a massage therapist. She has an incredible understanding of the body and seems to know exactly what needs attention every time. Her knowledge, experience, and intuition make her feel more like a healer than just a masseuse.

Whenever I have pain, stiffness, or tension, Maria knows how to find the source of the problem and work on it effectively. I always leave feeling better, both physically and mentally.

I highly recommend Maria to anyone looking for someone who truly understands how to help people heal and feel their best....more

First of all, Le Maison is a warm and welcoming spa! The people who work there are all very nice and pleasant!

I’ve been going to Maria for years!! She is absolutely incredible! She’s done lymphatic drainage, cupping, hot stones and mild and deep massage, depending on my needs!

My husband who has many issues and never really enjoyed massage…loves Maria!

I live in Florida now but she is my first call when I come up to New Jersey!...more

Maria is an incredible massage therapist. She is very intuitive and without exaggerating, the best massage i have ever had. She’s very focused on the individual’s needs and issues rather than simply giving you a massage without identifying your specific needs....more

Don’t have enough good things to say about Maria at La Maison Salon. My husband and I have both been seeing her for 2 years now and we’re honestly not sure what we’d do without her. We’re both athletes and take our recovery very seriously, and her deep tissue massages are key to our bodies being able to perform at a high level. Her knowledge and attention to detail are unmatched and we wouldn’t trust anyone else with our bodies. Would 100% recommend always!...more

I first learned of Maria's abilities years ago while she was working at a massage spa chain. I was gifted the massage from a friend, and it was my first professional session. I felt utterly transformed, like a new person, but I didn't realize the extent of Maria's remarkable talent and skill until I tried other therapists. There was really only one other who came even close.

Maria is a genuine and authentic personality who communicates her passion and devotion to healing through her work. Cliche as it may be, to say she has magic hands would be wholly accurate, besides being very approachable and easy to talk with. At the start of full body work, she will ask about particular areas to focus on, but it's not necessary: Her intuition and experience help her sense and pinpoint the areas that need work the most.

While I found regular sessions three to four apart are ideal for maintenance, even a single session will bring a benefit. I was visiting Maria every three weeks during a summer a few years ago when I was involved in an amateur athletic activity. One week I came to her on a Thursday, struggling after a particularly hard day before. After the 90-minute session, I felt nearly restored, that the massage "reset" my muscles and soft tissues and improved my tightness and pain, helping me perform at a high level the following weekend. I credit my program of massage with her for helping me complete the competitive season at the age of 38, performing against peers where 90% were under age 24.

My wife and I have been visiting Maria for therapeutic massage for a couple years now. My wife recently suffered a separation of her shoulder AC joint. Conservative therapy was recommended to her by the doctor, such as massage and TENS. After a session with Maria, my wife noticed an immediate increase in range of motion with reduced pain. Maria also varies her pressure and technique individually, using cupping and a greater pressure for my wife.

Maria's professional experience in sports therapy shows through these accounts, but even while I now only work an office job, she identifies and reduces tightness and pain and improves circulation in my upper body—shoulders, neck, and hands—from maintaining a desk posture and using a keyboard and mouse.

The spa itself does a fine job of providing a clean, quiet, comfortable space for massage therapy.

I can not think of anyone who could not benefit from Maria's customized services. I recommend 1000%....more

Maria was amazing! She gives the perfect amount of pressure and really knows when to dig into the tight spots and when to ease up. You can tell she knows exactly what she’s doing. I left feeling so much better and completely relaxed. Highly recommend her!...more

Maria gives one of those top notch, incomparable massages that feels like complete bodily repair. Maria is incredibly strong, knowledgeable, and somehow knows exactly what’s going on in your body within seconds of touching you. She’s also incredibly kind and understanding, and really wants to help you feel good.

I first came in for stubborn scapula pain that had lingered for months, and within one or two sessions it was gone—but that was just the beginning. Whether it’s lower back issues, sciatica, workout-related tightness, or some random ache you didn’t even realize you had, she finds it and fixes it (even if that means an elbow in your back). Yes, it can hurt—sometimes a lot—but it’s also deeply relaxing because you know you’re being taken care of.

The space is calming, the lotion isn’t overpowering, the music is relaxing, and you leave sore, bruised, and incredibly relieved, sleeping better and moving better than you were before.

Put yourself first and book with Maria—you might regret skipping leg day, but you’ll never regret this....more

I can’t say enough good things about Maria at La Maison Salon! From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and valued. Maria’s expertise and attention to detail are truly impressive. She took the time to listen to my preferences and executed flawlessly, I always feel like I am walking out with a new body!

The atmosphere of the salon is fantastic, and Maria’s friendly demeanor made the experience even more enjoyable. If you’re looking for someone who knows their craft and genuinely cares about their clients, look no further than Maria. Highly recommended!...more

I was given a gift certificate to LaMaison for a massage with Maria and she exceeded my expectations. I have history of lower back and hip pain and Maria’s technique in these areas are pure magic and previously unmatched from any of my prior massage experiences. The spa was immaculate and clean. The staff is friendly and professional and I highly recommend booking a session with Maria or at the Spa. It’s a hidden gem. ..Some guy...more

Maria is best in class of massage therapists. Friendly and therapeutic! She always find my knots and unwind them. Oh sooo good! She specializes in deep tissue but will do hot stone, cupping or lymphatic on you where you need it. Cracks me up when she laughs while she's kneading my muscles. She truly enjoys getting those knots out! :)...more

I go to this spa for massages with Maria, and she is tremendous! I’ve worked with her for at least 5 years, and she has set the bar high for any other massages I might ever get.

What I appreciate with her style is how she identifies my trouble spots without me even telling her where they are as she is very in tune with her practice and pays attention to my body.

She varies the level of pressure needed and offers cupping and other methods of relief. I go to her to address my aches from working at the computer and from working out. She also has a wonderful personality and is a joy to visit....more

Maria is the best! She absolutely knows and understands the human body. If it weren’t for hermit boyfriends would be one giant knot and I would be in tons of pain. She is hands down the best masseuse I have ever had and no one has ever come close to her level of expertise and knowledge....more

FAQs

Have questions? We've got answers.

An abdomen line wax removes a narrow strip of hair along the tummy; you'll get targeted removal from that specific area. Plan for about 15 MINUTES, and we use standard waxing techniques to quickly finish the abdomen line wax with minimal appointment time.

An abdomen full wax removes hair across the whole abdominal area rather than a narrow strip. Plan for about 30 MINUTES for an abdomen full wax, and you'll have a more comprehensive area treated compared with the 15 MINUTES abdomen line wax.

You'll have hair removed from your back using warm wax and strip or hard-wax technique. Plan for about 30 MINUTES for a back wax, and we focus on efficient sectioning so you'll be in and out with organized service steps.

A bikini wax removes hair outside the panty line to create a clean edge; you'll get precise hair removal in that area. Plan for about 15 MINUTES for a bikini wax, and we follow a stepwise waxing process for consistent results.

A brazilian bikini wax removes more hair from the front and back than a standard bikini wax, covering the whole pubic area. Plan for about 30 MINUTES for a brazilian bikini wax, and you'll receive comprehensive hair removal within that appointment window.

A chin wax targets stray hairs on the chin area using small, precise applications of wax. Plan for about 15 MINUTES for a chin wax, and you'll have focused attention on that small area for fast, tidy hair removal.

An eyebrow wax shapes and removes excess hair around the brows to create a defined outline. Plan for about 15 MINUTES for an eyebrow wax, and you'll get careful shaping while we work within that short appointment time.

A finger wax removes hair from the tops of the fingers and knuckles using small wax strips. Plan for about 15 MINUTES for a finger wax, and you'll get quick, detailed attention to those small, specific areas.

A feet toe wax removes hair around toes and the tops of the feet for neatness; you'll receive targeted waxing on the toes. Plan for about 15 MINUTES for a feet toe wax, and we complete the service efficiently in that timeframe.

A full arm wax removes hair from shoulder to wrist, covering the entire arm surface. Plan for about 30 MINUTES for a full arm wax, and you'll have consistent sectioning to ensure even hair removal across both arms if needed.

La Maison Salon & Spa is at 34 Farley Place in Short Hills, and you'll find us on a central block near local shops. Plan for about 5–10 minutes extra arrival time for parking here in Short Hills during busy periods.

Choose based on how much coverage you want removed: a bikini wax treats the outer panty line, while a brazilian bikini wax removes more hair across front and back. Plan for about 15 MINUTES for bikini wax and 30 MINUTES for brazilian bikini wax so you'll schedule accordingly.
