ABOUT US

Hello & Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here, and I truly appreciate you taking the time to explore my beauty services. My name is Maria Alvarez, and I am the proud owner of Enlightenbymarislays. I have been passionate about the beauty industry for over 16 years, specializing in helping clients feel confident, beautiful, and empowered through personalized beauty experiences. What started as a passion quickly became a career built on creativity, dedication, and genuine connection with people. I love not only enhancing beauty on the outside, but also creating an uplifting and comfortable experience where every client feels valued, relaxed, and cared for. Outside of the studio, I am happily married and a proud mother of four, which keeps life exciting, busy, and full of love. Being a wife and mother has taught me patience, balance, and the importance of making people feel special — qualities I bring into my work every day. As a bilingual artist fluent in both English and Spanish, I enjoy connecting with a diverse range of clients and making everyone feel welcome in my chair. Whether you are preparing for a special occasion, photoshoot, wedding, or simply treating yourself, my goal is always to provide a professional, enjoyable, and memorable experience tailored to your unique style and vision. I believe beauty is more than appearance — it’s about confidence, self-expression, and feeling your absolute best. Thank you again for being here. I truly look forward to meeting you and bringing your beauty vision to life. XOXO - Maria Alvarez
