Michaela Prieto
Aesthetician
Hello, my name is Michaela. I moved to the Arlington area in 2019 and quickly fell in love with this growing town. I grew up as a tomboy but found my passion for skin and beauty in 2011 when I graduated from Paroba as an esthetician. While in school I became a certified makeup artist, specializing in weddings and headshots. Shortly after school I became a certifed eyelash technician and fell in love with this side of beauty transformation. I took a few years off from lashes and esthetics when I had my daughter in 2014. For the last 4 years I have worked as an assistant at a naturopathic dental office where I specialized in craniofacial sleep medicine. I am happy to return to my roots and am excited to start my beauty journey again at Sugar Pine.
