Meet Tiffany Montalbano

Tiffany Montalbano spent years working inside cookie-cutter spas that treated every client the same. She knew there had to be a better way. Skin is personal. Why shouldn't your treatment be?

That question led to Blu Monarch Skin Studio. A space where protocols are built around you, not a menu. Where both men and women feel comfortable. Where results matter more than sales pitches.

Today, Blu Monarch is San Mateo's go-to for facials, sugaring, HydraFacials, microneedling, and medspa treatments. Every service starts with listening and ends with skin you actually feel good about.

Faces behind the glow

Jose, Nurse and Aesthetic Provider
Jose
Nurse & Aesthetic Provider

Jose's lifelong passion for helping others led him to nursing, earning his Master's in Nursing from the University of San Francisco, a journey shaped by 10 years of service in the United States Marine Corps. His artistic nature drew him into aesthetics, where he found the intersection of science and artistry. Combining a deep understanding of skincare with a refined eye for facial symmetry, he takes a whole-person approach focused on natural-looking results. What sets Jose apart is how genuinely he listens, crafting personalized plans that honor each patient's concerns and natural beauty.

Jen, Sugaring and Facial Specialist
Jen
Sugaring & Facial Specialist

Sugaring is my first love, and honestly it still is. From the moment I graduated cosmetology school I knew I wanted to go straight into hair removal, and discovering the art of sugaring, I was hooked. Back in the Bay Area, I made my home here at Blu. Along the way I realized hair removal is a skin service first, which sparked a genuine curiosity for skincare. Now I specialize in both sugaring and facials, bringing the same philosophy to each: results-driven care paired with education that actually makes sense. I want every client to leave feeling relaxed, informed, and a little more confident.

Grace, Lash and Brow Specialist
Grace
Lash & Brow Specialist

Grace's approach to skincare is rooted in something simple: genuine care for the person in front of her. With a background spanning customized facials, waxing, and a focused expertise in lash lifts and brow lamination, she brings both technical skill and a thoughtful touch to every appointment. Her specialty services are about more than aesthetics. Grace works to understand your features, your lifestyle, and what low-maintenance but polished actually looks like for you. You can find Grace at Blu every Friday. Book with her to start building a treatment plan that's entirely your own.
