I take pride in delivering the best treatments to my clients – being driven to make a difference, and making each of my clients feel unique & confident in their skin.
My treatments consider the body as a dynamic system, understanding that if you affect one part of the body you affect the rest of it.

I have been going to Nonna for 3 years now and she is absolutely amazing! I cannot recommend her enough. Nonna is the most professional, thorough waxing and beauty specialist I've ever had. She is so friendly and will put you at ease from the very beginning. She cares a lot about her clients and will always tailor treatments to your needs. Her knowledge of beauty is brilliant. I've had two deep cleansing facials with Nonna and the difference in my skin was unbelievable. I am booked in for one next week and I can't wait!
THE BEST LACE IN LONDON DO NOT GO ANYWHERE ELSE!!!! The best wax in London HONESTLY. I have been going to Nona for over 5 years and will never go anywhere else. Great value and pain free. Thank you ❤️❤️❤️
Nona and the team are the best. Not only do they do a fantastic job, they are kind and considerate and create a space of total relaxation. 100% trusted, wouldn't go anywhere else.
I always trust Nona and the team at velvet skin with my waxing. Quick, painless and perfect every time!
Nona is an incredible specialist truly a professional at what she does. I booked in for a deep cleansing facial which had left my skin feeling rejuvenated and nourished. The treatment itself was not aggressive (something important as I struggle with eczema). I would highly recommend this treatment. She’s also moved to a new location, in West Kensington, in case you can’t find her: 141 North end Road w149nh
Nona is an amazing technician! I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my wax, she’s an expert and makes me feel so comfortable and relaxed ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️❤️
Velvet Skin has everything I need in one place. Nona has been so amazing and her profesionalism hasn’t changed over the years. I started seeing her for waxing, but she was so amazing helping me with facials during the pregnancy and post partum. Making bookings is so easy and I get to find time around the baby’s schedule. Whatever you need for your skin and beauty, Velvet Skin will have it. I really recommend it.
Nona was so lovely! Had a great experience with the full arm wax and will definitely be back
Great experience with a brow wax. Nona was very considerate and meticulous and I'm very happy with the results. Will be back again!
Nona is so great at what she does and she makes the whole process very comfortable! Her new space in West Kensington is also fantastic with a relaxing and calm environment. I don’t go to anyone else and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for great waxing. Thank you, Nona!
I had an Incredibly precise and painless wax here with Leila. She was brilliant, excellent technique and the wax they use is such a nice temperature when it touches the skin and glides on and off super smoothly. Very impressed
Beautiful place- very clean, spacious and furnished with a lot of taste. Nona Maria is so professional, knows what she’s doing, she’s quick, and generally really lovely. Could not recommend more!!
Great experience with Nona! Highly recommend her - I will be back! To find the place, you go into the courtyard area past the Vietnam food spot and look for the entrance to the salon on the right.
Nona has magic fingers and her advice, massages and care operate like a fairy balm on your skin. I noticed the difference on my face immediately (and as well as in the long term) after the treatment and not the slightest redness. In addition, she makes you feel unique in a lovely and very calm place.
I’ve been coming to Nona for years and she is brilliant! I had tried a number of different salons for waxing over the years, and have never found anyone as good as Nona. She is truly an expert in her craft. The salon space is lovely, clean and relaxing. It’s found in The Courtyard just off Sydney Street (see photo attached!).
My experience at Velvet skin was perfect - I went in for a deep cleansing facial, and Nona was able to adapt the facial for my pregnancy. She is very knowledgeable about the effect of oral supplements on my skin, and she gave me great advice for future skin care. My skin was glowing after the facial, I highly recommend!!
Came a few times for facial during my pregnancy, Nona was very caring and knowledgeable in advising what is safe in pregnancy. She created a tailored treatment for me which showed great results for my skin, made me glow and gave a good pamper. I’ll be back for more !!!
Nona's facials are the best of all - nothing compares. You'll be relaxed and the effect will be instant and long-term. I'd not go anywhere and I'm so grateful for finding Nona's salon.
Nona has quickly become my absolute favourite for waxing and facials after just two sessions. I first went to her for a facial, and the results were incredible; my skin improved massively, and she also shared such thoughtful advice on how to maintain and protect it. This week, I had a full-body waxing session with her. I’ve always been anxious about the pain, especially in sensitive areas, but Nona’s technique is truly magical. I felt little to no discomfort, and she made me feel completely at ease, calming my nerves with her gentle, reassuring manner. On top of that, she’s such a warm and lovely conversationalist, and I genuinely enjoyed chatting with her throughout the process. What I love most is that Nona doesn’t just deliver amazing results. She makes you feel genuinely cared for. The service is incredible, and every visit feels like a treat. I couldn’t recommend her more highly!
I had a great experience! The place is cozy, clean and very charming. It makes you feel directly comfortable. And Nona is very kind, professional and welcoming. I had a waxing treatment, the wax temperature was perfect, it wasn’t painful and the result is great. I really recommend!
I have just emerged from an Oxygen Detox facial, and feel about ten years younger! My poor tired face is now plump and pink, and I feel both relaxed and energised. As someone who gets facials fairly regularly, I can honestly say this is worth every penny and has made a noticeable difference to the appearance and feel of my skin. The treatment room was warm, bright and spotless, with ambient music and a very comfortable beauty bed. Nona was incredibly knowledgeable and professional, explaining every step of the process and taking time to understand my needs, current beauty regime and suggesting small tweaks to optimise my routine. Definitely coming back!
I have relied on Nona's beauty services for many years. Her knowledge, understanding of the tools and techniques she uses during treatments and exceptional personality makes her an amazing beautician, whether it be for a waxing or a luxurious facial. Whoever wants to be pampered by a thoroughly professional individual and great results after each appointment, look no further - Nona's got it covered!!
My deep facial cleaning treatment experience with Nona was great. Nona’s energy and knowledge were out range. I am really happy with the results of my facial treatment. My facial skin looks better and rejuvenated. Definitely, I will be back soon for another treatment. Therefore,I would highly recommend her to everyone who wants to look better inside and outside. See you soon Nona!
Nona has been my beauty therapist for at least 10 years, and my daughter's therapist for 6 years. Her studio is always immaculately kept, and she has a very reassuring and gentle touch. Once you visit Nona's beauty salon in west kensington, her experience and reasonable fees will ensure you return. Highly highly recommended!
I had an incredible experience at this Hollywood waxing venue! From the moment I walked in, the staff made me feel comfortable and at ease. The facility was clean and well-maintained, which immediately put me at ease. The esthetician was not only highly skilled but also incredibly friendly, explaining the process step by step and ensuring I was comfortable throughout. The waxing itself was quick and relatively painless, thanks to the expert technique used. The attention to detail was impressive
I refuse to go anywhere else to get a wax. She's incredible and even as painful as getting a wax can be, I look forward to going back every time. She's so lovely and couldn't speak more highly of Nona Maria. I've recommended many people to go to her.
Nona is a godsend in every possible way! Not only is her beauty expertise and attention to detail second to none - she is a top person on a human level and always makes you feel cherished and relaxed. An elegant person through and through and definitely a therapist to book your next beauty appointment with, be it waxing, luxurious facials or my favourite - the reflexology! Thank you!
