About me
I'm Melaina Montes — Esthetician, Makeup Artist, and Beauty Educator based in Riverside County, California. With over a decade of experience in client care, leadership, and beauty services, I bring a unique blend of artistry, professionalism, and holistic care to every treatment. I specialize in custom facials, lash lifts and extensions, brow lamination, waxing, and makeup application. I believe skincare is more than a service — it's a ritual of self-care, healing, and confidence. My approach combines advanced techniques with a holistic philosophy to promote healthy skin, inner peace, and outer confidence. Every client deserves to feel seen, supported, and empowered — and that's exactly the experience I create at The Skin Sanctum Esthetics.

Why I'm here
I'm here to connect with a community of beauty professionals and clients who share my passion for wellness, artistry, and intentional self-care. With a background spanning independent makeup artistry, special FX instruction, and supply chain leadership, I bring a well-rounded perspective to the beauty industry. As I complete my Esthetics Program at Salon Success Academy in 2026, I'm committed to growing my skills and expanding my reach as both a practitioner and educator. My goal is to build meaningful relationships, share knowledge, and continue elevating the standard of holistic beauty services in the Inland Empire and beyond. Beauty, wellness, and confidence are rituals that transform — and I'm here to be part of that journey with you.
