I'm Maria, co-founder of Henko Studio, where I focus on creating a space that blends expertise with genuine care. With over 20 years' experience in aesthetics and wellness, my approach to laser hair removal is always personalised - taking into account your skin, your goals and what will work best for you long term. Throughout my career, I've also trained and guided other therapists within established medical clinic environments, shaping a thoughtful, results-driven approach to treatments. I specialise in working safely across a range of skin types using advanced, medical-grade technology, always prioritising both results and skin health. My treatments are never rushed or one-size-fits-all. Each appointment is approached with time, attention and intention offering a more considered alternative to high-volume clinics. Every client starts with a consultation and patch test so you feel informed, comfortable and confident before beginning your journey. My aim is simple.. to help you feel at ease, supported and happy with your results.
