Maya
The founder and esthetician
Since I was a little girl back in the Ukraine, I learned skincare from my grandma. All the neighbors came to her to get beauty advice and a “magic youth elixir” which is what my grandma called all of her organic mixes.
I’ve leaned since childhood that there is no better way to have glowing healthy skin then to use organic, natural ingredients.
It has been my dream since then to help each person to have radiant healthy skin using only the best treasures of nature.
My life has taken me to 23 different countries where I have been practicing and improving my knowledge, learning more and more secrets and unique techniques of skincare.
Finally I moved to San Diego – my favorite city ever! I feel peace and harmony and enjoy the beauty of nature everywhere around me. I was inspired to create a very special place, a little oasis of natural facial treatments. Combining relaxing music, a calming atmosphere and the newest skincare technologies, Kiwi Spa will deliver the best ultimate results and impeccable customer service.
Luna
Master esthetician
I believe my journey started when I was 9 years old. I used to go around the dinner table giving people my best back and neck massages, when we had dinner guest over. From that age on, I was told that I had healing hands, and that it was a gift I shouldn’t waste. In later years like most teens I struggled with skin problems including skin discoloration and became very interested in skin care. I’ve always loved to see the transformations of Before and After pictures, and believed that I could do the same for myself.
After being an esthetician for some time, and watching my skin not only change, but maintain a radiant Glow, my passion kept growing. My Love for people and the desire to help others achieve their Own skin care goals became my New Passion! I then decided to extend my education and advance my diploma to Master Esthetician. With training in the latest technology and Clinical procedures and a understanding of advanced cutting edge ingredients in skincare, I believe that my journey lead me here.
I’m so excited to work here at Kiwi Spa with Maya! Never have I seen a Spa or Clinic combine such amazing treatments and quality products for her prices! To have the Medical technology, the Orangic products, and the relaxation of a facial all in One! This is my calling in life, to Serve you! The opportunity to help everyone achieve maximum results at affordable costs. Let me help you get that Glow you always wanted. I Can’t wait to meet you!
Anastasia
Cosmetologist/Esthetician
My passion for skincare stems from my desire to promote wellness, confidence, and most importantly, happiness! It is my goal to leave every client better than they came to me, both inside and out.
Since I was a little girl, I loved makeup and dressing up to look my best. When I discovered the world of skin care, I realized that beauty starts from the inside and makes its way out. Since then, I have dedicated myself to learning about wellness, and understanding how to best nourish and care for our bodies’ largest organ- the skin!
I believe that everything our bodies need is provided from the earth, and I love to use the most natural ingredients possible to treat and protect the skin. Organic skin care is a wonderful, natural way to restore youthfulness to the skin, and eliminates the excess ingredients found in most drugstore products. It is my pleasure to assist you in bringing out the very best in your skin, using the best ingredients possible!
Kiwi Spa provides a place for pampering, relaxation, education, and the key to years of enjoying glamorous skin!

Cosmetologist/Esthetician
My love for beauty started when I was very young, I specifically remember the first time my mom let me wear make up. I sat in the mirror for way too long and didn’t stop until I had what I thought was the perfect “smokey eye” at the age of 10.
Growing into my younger teenage years I began to suffer from breakouts, I started to realize that I needed to take care of my skin because washing my face with some drugstore cleanser wasn’t going to cut it. From there, I read every article I could find that dealt with the correct ingredients to use and what ingredients to stay away from. I watched YouTube videos of estheticians and dermatologists recommending skin care, which is how I began making my own skin care products. I bought different ingredients from my home research and made all kinds of things from sugar body scrubs, to hydrating serums and I fell in love! I began to have drawers full of all types of cleansers, toners, serums, and masks for all different skin types. Before you know it, friends and family were coming over so I could provide all sorts of treatments, whether it was my friends acne-prone skin, or my grandma’s mature skin. Seeing them all fall in love with the skin they’re in brought me so much joy, I knew that helping others along their skin care journey was exactly what I wanted to do.
Ever since I made that decision, I have not stopped applying myself to continue to learn and expand my knowledge. After graduating from esthetics school and obtaining my license, I worked at different spas, but never really found the environment I envisioned, until Kiwi Spa! Meeting and working with clients at Kiwi Spa is everything I could ever dream of. I have always leaned towards the natural side of skin care, and Kiwi Spa provides just that! Performing services with amazing products and top tier equipment providing impeccable results, as well as working with amazing estheticians channeling bright energy with one another is a blessing. I’m looking forward to meeting you and assisting you in all of your skin care needs, you are born to glow!

Cosmetologist/Esthetician
I would say my passion for everything beauty and skin started when I was very young. I remember, every morning and every evening I would watch my mom do her skin routine, wondering what all these liquids she would pat into her skin was. As someone from South Korea she takes her skincare very seriously, she never missed a day.
Around 12 years ago, starting in my teen years, I suffered from breakouts and as a woman of color I struggled with hyperpigmentation and discoloration which led to me completely immerse myself in the skincare world. I researched extensively on everything from different products including cleansers, serums, acids, to different skincare brands and lines, different ingredients, basically anything that would help me improve the texture and overall look of my skin. Ive read article after article and have watched probably every video on YouTube just absorbing as much information as possible. In this, I realized my passion was making people feel beautiful and confident in their skin! Knowing someone can be the most confident in themselves because of me brought me so much joy and instant satisfaction. Fast forward to present day: My path has led me to become an esthetician where I can do my best to apply my knowledge to make other people feel beautiful, confident, and empowered. Ive also decided to further expand my knowledge in skin and am currently studying to be an dermatologist, and I truly believe everyday is a learning experience. You can learn something new every day to improve yourself, whether it be external beauty, or beauty from within.
