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.
