Meraki Skin Co.

There are few words to describe the treatments I recieve from Ariel and Taylor, it just needs to be experienced.
But I will try by saying whether I am going for a clinical appointment or pure relaxation, the results are always seen AND I feel like I was lying in the lap of the Mother Goddess.
Please, treat yourself to Meraki Spa as much as you can 💖

I have seen Ariel and Taylor for my relaxation and skin needs. These two women are amazing with their esthetician skills and ability to completely put you in a state of full relaxation. My first session with Ariel was very enlightening, for my whole adult life I have struggled with adult acne on my chin and "T" area. I had years of visits with my dermatologist who kept recommending clindamycin and Accutane. I knew there was a better way to treat my skin and my body. Ariel taught me that moisturizing my skin will heal acne much quicker than my method of drying out with witch hazel and alcohol pads. For years I was damaging my skin and I didn't even realize it! I took Ariel's and Taylor's consultation to heart and changed my skin routine. I even bought some of their recommended products (they smell so good and are natural). Within a few weeks, my skin started to heal. I have been able to wear less makeup and feel so confident in my skin. I recommend Ariel and Taylor to anyone who has been struggling with difficult skin issues. You don't need these dangerous drugs like Accutane to heal your skin (also most forget your skin is the largest organ)! You just need a healthy and happy approach. Thank you, Ariel and Taylor <3

I emailed Ariel less than 24 hours before my son’s prom. She responded quickly and scheduled an appointment in time for the big day. Seeing as this was his first experience at having a facial, he was unsure what to expect. However, Taylor was very informative and my son was very pleased. I am certain he will want more services in the near future and I can’t wait to schedule an appointment myself!! Thank you both so much !!

I came to Meraki for a series of monthly facials with Ariel. When I’d come in, my nerves would be frazzled from daily stress. Throughout the session, her energy, techniques, and selection of natural products completely soothed my nervous system. She is truly gifted. My skin also felt so hydrated, exfoliated, and refreshed every time. I drove from Ithaca to Homer and it was worth every minute. Go to Meraki for your next service, and buy a gift certificate for a friend. A local small business you’ll be glad to support.

Ariel is amazing at what she does, and Meraki is such a nice and cozy spot! I highly suggest going to Meraki for any and all skincare needs. For me it ends up being more than just a facial every time because the work Ariel does is so relaxing that I leave feeling like I got a full body massage - and with my skin glowing! 10/10 I will be back. :)

I couldn’t have chosen a more professional and personable Licensed Esthetician to provide the service for my first facial. Ariel was so welcoming and instantly made me feel comfortable. She answered all of my questions thoroughly, with no judgement passed. My skin feels amazing, and I will definitely be a returning client!

From the chillest wax, to the best facial you’ve ever had in your entire life, there is no business I could recommend more! Ariel truly cares about you, your skin goals, and helping you relax as much as possible. She’s always willing to go the extra mile, and her passion and knowledge for her profession truly shows. She’s a joy to chat with, and her room always smells AMAZING. It’s relaxing to even sit in her waiting room!

I finally got to have my first EVER facial. And it was a dream come true. I met Ariel for a wax a week ago and through getting to know her, it was decided I needed little bit more pampering. We booked a signature facial and made it all about relaxation, which was amazing.

The whole process felt relaxing for my whole body and mind, not just my face. With the warming pad and weighted blanket, I felt comfortably cocooned. The atmosphere at this space is so inviting and personal. The smells and feelings of the different products and tools used were a peaceful journey of their own. I definitely now understand why people love facials. I know that not all of the work is relaxing but it was great to gear my experience towards calm and peace.

I was so invigorated, I was excited to go out and get things done afterwards. I know I will be back for another visit as soon as I can!

My visits to Ariel have been a highlight of the last 3 years. She does a tremendous job each time. Caring is Ariel's calling, in every sense of the word. You feel every ounce of care she puts into her craft and it shows up in the afterglow that you get to bask in. Ariel's services go beyond skincare, and emphasize the mind-body connection, showing the healing power of women exchanging powerful energy through touch.

the most comforting and calming experience ever! not only is the environment a vibe but Ariel is so chill, laid back, & soothing to the soul! it could not have gone better and i will not be taking my service any where else. i went once and immediately felt welcomed as well as valued. they don’t just wax you to get it over with and be paid, they are real humans and treat you like a friend. already made my follow up appointment as well as an additional service! please go, don’t be nervous it’s unnecessary :) can’t wait to see them continue to grow 🫶🏼🪬

Ariel and Taylor are absolutely amazing. They both are so passionate and knowledgeable about what they do and it seriously shows in your skin. This is the only place I will ever go for my skincare needs. You won’t find another place like it. 100% top quality and experience. My skin wouldn’t be anywhere if it wasn’t for Ariel’s product recommendations on pomp too. She saved my skin for sure! Thank you both SO much.

I have gotten waxed twice here, and loved both experiences. The girls are so sweet, and made it as painless a process as it could possibly be.

I have been seeing Ariel for almost a year now for facial and waxing, and I have to say that the service she provides is phenomenal! She works with passion and dedication. Her facials are by far the best facials I have ever had! She puts in a lot of effort in waxing and makes sure that the session is never rushed! I also love how she maintains her salon all by herself and keeps it so clean and comfortable. Ariel is very pleasant and warm to talk to. I cannot recommend Ariel enough, and trust me, you will thank yourself for giving her a chance!

Ariel is amazing! For this small town, she is a hidden gem. She is so talented, an amazing waxer, and makes you feel so comfortable! Her space is so relaxing and she’s all around an amazing person. Everyone needs to see her!!

Ariel is an outstanding esthetician! She works miracles with her hands. I’ve had several delicious services and she has by far given me the best facial of my entire life, with out a doubt. It felt like I was dunked in the fountain of youth and came out feeling 10 years younger. She made it a very special relaxing time. The atmosphere is very chill vibes and you leave relaxed, refreshed, and simply glowing! ! Such a lovely human being with a bright future!!! Thank you Ariel🙌🏽❤🥰😘

Ariel is simply wonderful and a true master of her craft. I genuinely cannot say enough good things about her or her salon! This was my first ever facial experience, and I am so incredibly grateful to have found her. I recently have had some skin concerns which lead me to search out estheticians in my area who might be able to help, or just point me in the right direction, and I feel so lucky to have been able to make an appointment with her. Ariel is just such a lovely person and *so* knowledgeable and personable and kind. I was feeling so nervous and had so may questions but the whole time she talked to me like I was a long-time friend - I immediately felt at ease with her. And I learned so much!

It is obvious that she truly cares about her clients and enjoys teaching about skincare. She actively listens, gives amazing, easy to understand recommendations, personalized treatments, and goes far above and beyond to make sure her clients have their best skin possible. The whole appointment she gently explained what she was using/doing, how it might feel, and checked in with me to make sure I was okay, and I SO appreciated that. The salon itself is beautifully decorated, warm, and laid-back with a beautifully serene atmosphere. As soon as I walked in I felt welcome and relaxed, and left feeling pampered, cared for, and just...rejuvenated. I just left and I've already recommended her to 5 people, and am about to book my next appointment!

I feel amazing and my skin looks so hydrated. I'm so grateful for all of the knowledge she shared with me. Thank you, Ariel!

I Love Ariel! My facial was so relaxing I almost fell asleep 😊 Ariel is so knowledgeable and explains everything, I’ve learned a lot about my skin and I’m grateful to have found such a wonderful esthetician! If I could give a 10 star rating I would! I recommend meraki to all my friends and clients. Ariel loves what she does and it shows, very professional, down to earth and just an all around great person who takes joy in helping others feel great about themselves!

This is by far one of the best experiences in CNY I have had when it comes to both facials and waxing! Ariel is incredibly personable and knowledgeable. The space is warm and inviting. The waxing services are excellent. My eyebrows have never looked this good! The facials are to die for! I have quickly become a regular here. My Rosacea has gotten better from the Oxycool facial and the Fluff Me Up facial was exactly what I needed to relax and be pampered! I highly recommend Meraki Skin Co!

As the executive director of a nonprofit organization with two side jobs , " stressed " has simply become a character trait for me.

I came to Ariel at meraki skin company with the goal of clearing up some scarring around my face, and help with managing the dryness that comes with enduring winters in upstate NY!

I thought I was just going in for a facial , but what I got was SO much more. I had no idea I was even CAPABLE of reaching the level of relaxation Ariel provided.

Ariel massaged away a lingering migraine with precision on pressure points I didn't even know I had and melted away tension in my shoulders I thought was a permanent fixture of my overstressed body.

When I actually saw the results of the facial , I almost CRIED. She erased years of scaring and dark spots that I thought would never go away in ONE SESSION. This woman makes miracles happen at meraki! 10-10 would absolutely recommend!

Ariel is the most wonderful, kind esthetician. I had never had a facial before and had a lot of questions leading up to my appointment and she was quick to answer without making me feel like a nuisance. For my actual facial, I felt so incredibly pampered on the heated table under a big fluffy blanket, and the service was absolutely unique to me. Ariel takes time to assess the individual needs of each client’s skin and adjust each session so no two are exactly alike. She also sent post facial care instructions to maintain my skin’s health long-term. Long story short, I will be going back to Ariel for another facial very soon, and you should too!!!
