Energy & Vision

Melanie Hamilton - owner & current esthetics student

I’ve been interested in beauty my entire life—from icons like Barbie and Martha Stewart, to artistic interpretations, ancient and modern remedies, and explorations of beauty, feminism, and shifting cultural standards. My curiosity about beauty and esthetics runs both wide and deep. My years of higher education and personal exploration have taught me that while external beauty holds great value, especially in society and relationships, it cannot truly serve us if our life and mindset isn’t aligned with who we are, what we value, what motivates us, and how we find satisfaction. That’s why, through Strata, I hope to offer more than skincare.

As a current esthetics student, my knowledge of skin types, remedies for common concerns, and beneficial, wholistic treatment plans is growing every day. Once licensed, I will be able to practice on my own terms. I hope to weave into my skincare practice rituals that nurture and ground each client. My dream is to weave meditation, breathwork, philosophy, and mindfulness into facials and body treatments, offering experiences that help you reconnect with yourself, restore confidence, and embrace the love available in daily life.

Strata is envisioned as a space that supports your healthiest vision of yourself—where you feel seen, valued, held, beautiful, and nourished—all while your skin looks and feels its absolute best. I can’t wait to meet you!
