Welcome to Aari Skin Studio, a sanctuary created specifically for the busy adult seeking a true pause and visible results.

The Aari Philosophy: Your Skin, Your Sanctuary

Hello, I'm Candace, the founder of Aari Skin Studio. My journey to esthetics was guided by a deeply held belief: that the health of your skin and the health of your mind are intrinsically linked.

Before specializing in rejuvenating facials, my passion began years ago, formulating clean, intentional products—from lotions and body butters to luxurious scalp oils and candles. This love for handcrafted wellness, coupled with a desire to help people thrive, led me to pursue a formal education in esthetics.

A Journey Built on Resilience and Love

I’ve walked in your shoes. I finished my university degree in counseling psychology while raising my own children—a testament to pursuing big dreams amidst a full life. At 39, I made a courageous career shift to esthetics, a decision that felt scary, yet completely necessary for my own happiness and fulfillment. I understand the demands placed on men and women in the 35–65 age range, and I believe you deserve this time to reconnect.

Our family including my husband, a retired Marine, and our children (plus a cherished cousin with Down syndrome who inspired the original Aari Body name) has called many places home before gratefully settling here in Knoxville, TN.

Our Unique Difference: More Than Just Skin Deep

The name Aari carries special meaning; it’s the middle names of two of my sons, representing the legacy of care and dedication I wish to build.

My professional background is your biggest asset. My years of psychological training, combined with extensive skincare knowledge, allow me to approach every service with a holistic view. I don't just see skin concerns; I see the stress, the sleepless nights, and the busy schedules that impact your glow.

When you step into Aari Skin Studio, you are not just booking a facial; you are entering an inviting, luxurious space—designed with the timeless elegance of Ivory, Black, and Gold—where your well-being is the primary focus.

It’s an honor to welcome you to Aari. I look forward to helping you find your glow and your pause.
