Ariana Santiago
Founder – Licensed Esthetician – Expert Facialist
Hi, I’m Ariana. But you can call me Ari! I started looking into holistic remedies for healthier skin as a teenager. When I was 13, I began getting painful cystic acne that tarnished my self confidence. My mother tried taking me to the dermatologist but the prescriptions burned and hurt my skin and did more damage than good.
I would often curate my own kitchen sink facial cleansers and face masques, using up the last of the honey, olive oil and lemons to create my own skincare products. I realized how helpful a consistent routine with holistic esthetics was, and my love for skincare and esthetics was born! As I learned how to improve and clear my skin, I knew I wanted to help guide other people on their journey to better skin.

Erica Baker
Licensed Esthetician
I am a Licensed Esthetician specializing in treating acne, holistic customized facials, and facial massage. Having personally struggled with acne throughout my teenage years and into adulthood, I discovered my passion for skincare and holistic skin health. That passion made me realize that I wanted to help other people with their skin as well. With my facials you will receive customized and results-driven treatments while immersed in a relaxing, safe space where you can unwind and care for both your skin and well-being. I’m committed to helping you feel confident in your skin while guiding you towards your skincare goals! Feel free to text me at 808-383-3106 or DM me on Instagram with any questions. I look forward to meeting you!
