Monika Stone
Owner of Monika Stone Skin & Principal Esthetician
Skincare isn’t just my career—it’s my lifelong passion. My journey began at 12 in my homeland of Austria, inspired by an aesthetician whose intelligence and grace left a lasting impression. That moment ignited a path spanning decades, continents, and countless transformations—not only in my clients’ skin but in their confidence and lives.
What sets my approach apart is my rigorous, medical-based training in Europe, where aesthetics is both a science and an art. When I moved to the U.S. over 35 years ago, I brought this expertise with me, embracing the industry’s revolutionary advancements. This fusion of European precision and cutting-edge technology defines Monika Stone Skin.
My philosophy is simple: skincare should be transformative, empowering, and personalized. Every client’s journey is unique, and I create bespoke treatments that honor their natural beauty and goals. My commitment to continuous education ensures I remain at the forefront of skincare innovations.
But beyond the techniques and technology, Monika Stone Skin is built on trust, authenticity, and care. I see every client as a partner in this journey—a collaboration to achieve radiant, healthy skin. Whether addressing concerns or enhancing your natural glow, I offer more than a service—I provide a transformative experience.
We live in a time where beauty is illuminated by science, and I am honored to help you uncover your most confident, luminous self!
Ria Stone
Events Coordinator and Licensed Esthetician
At Monika Stone Skin, skincare is more than just a profession—it’s a passion passed down through generations. Growing up alongside my mother, Monika, in our family-run business, I was immersed in the beauty industry from a young age. Her expert guidance shaped my approach to skincare and has inspired my deep commitment to providing effective, personalized treatments to each of my clients.
After completing my Esthetics and Advanced Esthetician courses at San Jose City College, I further honed my skills with specialized certifications in treatments like Douglas Prestion’s Mastering the Art of Comedone Extractions, and advanced brow lamination, lash lifts, facial waxing, and hyperpigmentation through Alexander’s Esthetics. I also have an in-depth understanding of the products and technologies unique to Monika Stone Skin.
I stay ahead of the curve by attending beauty expos and seminars throughout the Bay Area, ensuring that my clients benefit from the latest trends and techniques. My passion for skincare is matched only by my dedication to building trusting relationships with those I work with, tailoring treatments to meet their individual needs.
At Monika Stone Skin, we’re driven by a shared vision to create transformative skincare experiences that leave a lasting impact!
James Newman, MD, FACS
Owner of Premier Plastic Surgery, Board-Certified Facial Plastic & Reconstructive Surgeon
From a young age, I’ve been fascinated by the artistry and precision involved in surgery. With over 30 years of experience, I founded Premier Plastic Surgery with a vision to provide minimally invasive, personalized care. My team and I are committed to offering patients transformative results, combining expertise in plastic surgery with advanced skincare treatments to meet their individual goals.
I attended the University of Texas Medical School on an academic scholarship and graduated with honors. My journey took me to Stanford University, where I completed my residency in Otolaryngology and Head & Neck Surgery, followed by a fellowship in Facial Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery. I was fortunate to stay on as faculty, mentoring the next generation of surgeons while continuing to refine my craft.
My specialty is facial plastic surgery, and I’m particularly passionate about the role of laser procedures in achieving natural, youthful results. I use the latest technologies, including Carbon Dioxide, Erbium, and YAG lasers, to address a variety of conditions with precision and care. I’m proud to be a member of the American Academy of Facial Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery and the American College of Surgeons.
One of the things I’m most proud of is the synergy we’ve created at Monika Stone Skin, where we combine the power of plastic surgery with advanced skincare. This partnership allows us to offer patients a holistic approach to beauty—one that enhances both the surgical results and overall well-being.
