For as long as Maria can remember she has had a love of all thing’s hair, makeup and esthetics. Its

a career that has spanned over 30 years in the beauty industry. Having worked for Lise Watier as a
district sales manager she gathered greater experience and created her own makeup line called MBS. In
2007 she opened her own salon in north London branded after herself, Maria Bikas Salon. MBS has
been in operation for 15 years.
Celebrating people in their real, most raw, authentic brilliance is what motivates her and her staff in
creating flawless designs. Maria believes in investing in her staff through countless hours of training.
This ensures that her staff is up to date with the most current trends and techniques. Her artistic reach
has expanded well beyond the salon and supporting local charities within her community. Her mantra
has always been to “create and inspire” and its something she focuses on while creating her signature
styles.

singing. Having been raised in a Greek Canadian family her love of cooking also expands across multiple
cultures and ethnic dishes, all of which is enjoyed by her beautiful family.
Maria’s passion for artistry is sprinkled throughout her life and can be seen as she’s spreading love
through hair, one head at a time.

I’ve been lucky to be a part of this amazing salon for over four years, and I truly love every moment of it. Working in such a positive, empowering environment surrounded by kind, strong women has not only built my confidence but has also taught me so much about myself. The bonds I’ve built with my coworkers, have shaped me into the woman I am today. Their encouragement and strength have helped me find confidence I never knew I had, and every day I feel inspired by them. I’m passionate about creating a welcoming space where our clients feel just as good as I do. Outside of the salon, I love spending time with animals, reading, and being social. I graduated from university with a degree in psychology and thanatology, hoping to one day help children with their mental struggles.

It had been a while since I have had a great cut before Romana started cutting my hair. I have not had a disappointing experience since. I am extremely pleased with my trips to the hairdresser and have convinced my best friend to enjoy the experience. She is now a satisfied customer as well. Thank you Romana.
I arrived frazzled, left feeling cared for and more at peace and was able to share and laugh with my friends at Maria Bikas! Thank you for brightening my day.
I visited this salon based on the reviews on Google and the experience was outstanding. I came in for a basic haircut with Nathalie and the haircut exceeded my expectations and the service was exceptional. Nathalie truly took the time to answer my questions, and was very understanding with what I was envisioning and brought my inspiration pictures to life. The salon environment was relaxing, and had the most welcoming staff who spread kindness and smiles throughout the salon. I am so excited to return in the future for a balayage hair treatment.
Romana did an amazing job listening to what I wanted but using her expertise to do what she knew was best for my hair type and lifestyle. I love it.
Romana is a magician with my hair. I have never had a better haircut in my life... and my fine hair is a challenge. I always feel like a new woman when I leave the salon. Don't ever retire Romana!

Romana is fantastic - right from consultation, where she truly listened to understand my goals, context and history, through completion of my services! The salon is excellent overall too - everyone is professional, it is clean, and the atmosphere is positive. Thank you for helping me look and feel great!
Heidi gave me a pixie cut; she followed reference pictures and my specific requests really well and understood my concerns from previous haircut experiences. She was also very nice throughout my time there; I will definitely go again. Her styling was also amazing. I got compliments on my haircut multiple times after my experience here. The secretary and all workers were very hospitable and nice.
