About Ria Mez
Great brows don’t come from a template. They come from a specialist who takes the time to really look at your face.
You deserve a brow specialist who listens
Whether you’ve been over-plucked, under-served, or just never quite found someone who gets your face—that changes here. At Ria Mez, every appointment starts with a conversation. Because the best results always do.
Hi, I’m Maria. But everyone calls me ria.
My background in the arts gave me an eye. Brows became my medium.
My path to the beauty industry wasn’t exactly a straight line. I had plans to study art at San Francisco State, but when finances got in the way, I pivoted.
I enrolled at Marinello School of Beauty, trained at Benefit Cosmetics, and honestly thought my career in aesthetics would be temporary. Just something to do while I figured out my next move.
Then something happened. My clients kept coming back. They started telling me that no one had ever been able to give them the look they’d always asked for—until now.
That was 12 years ago. And what keeps me inspired today is watching my clients leave the chair feeling like the best versions of themselves, again and again.
“Maria is by far the best aesthetician I have ever been to. I’ll follow her wherever she goes.” Megan S.
“No one does it like Ria. I guarantee she will be the only person to touch my brows again.” Nicole C.
“Ria is an absolute gem and a master of her craft. She’ll transform your brows and you’ll enjoy every second of the experience.” Liat M.
Behind the Brows
Born and raised Los Angeles native, first generation Mexican
Growing up, my father instilled in me a work ethic and a respect for people that I carry into every single appointment to this day.
Studied at Marinello School of Beauty and cut my teeth at Benefit Cosmetics
My original plan was to become an artist. But when finances got in the way, I pivoted to the beauty industry and never looked back.
Sitting in my chair is more like catching up with a friend than a salon appointment
Great brows aside, you can count on me for honest product recommendations, a little life advice, and genuine conversation.
