About Marica & Silk Skin Wax Specialist in Colindale

From Italy to London

I’m Marica, the founder of Silk Skin Wax Specialist and a mum to two beautiful girls. Beauty has been part of my life for more than 15 years. I completed three years of beauty school in Italy, then worked there for five years before moving to London in 2015.

In London, I worked in different clinics, mainly in central London and other areas away from where I live now. I kept learning through further training, gaining experience with beauty equipment, skin treatments and laser therapy. Each role helped me grow in my skills and confidence.

Building Silk Skin from scratch

After having my youngest daughter, I decided to take a chance on myself and open my own treatment room in Colindale. I wasn’t bringing a local client list with me. I started from scratch, with no clients—just my experience, my love for the job and the belief that I could build something of my own.

Silk Skin is a business I run myself. I’m the therapist, the person answering your messages, and the one looking after the bookings, website and accounts. Juggling a business and motherhood can be demanding, but it’s becoming easier as the business grows. Every returning client and every new face means a great deal to me.

A small menu, with a specialist focus

I chose to focus on a small range of treatments: waxing, intimate skin care, brows and lashes. I then added Korean Lash Lift and Hydra Brow Lamination, continuing to develop my techniques through specialist training and masterclasses.

I want to keep improving the treatments you see on my menu, giving each one the time and attention it deserves. I also work hard to make prices, booking information, preparation and aftercare clear, so you feel comfortable and know what to expect.

A real person behind the business

I love my work, and I love welcoming the people who come into my room. I’m always myself: a beauty therapist, a mum and a normal person with busy days and life’s ups and downs. That human connection is part of what makes this business special to me.

Whether you’re visiting for the first time or have been with me from the beginning, I want you to feel welcome, listened to and at ease. Thank you for supporting something I’ve built from the ground up. I’m excited to keep growing, learning and looking after you.

My specialist training

I continue to develop my waxing, brow and lash techniques through specialist courses and masterclasses. My certificates include training with Italwax Academy, Oh So Lovely London and Brows by Con.
