Community Highlights: Meet Micaela Rizo of Glow x Meeks

Today we’d like to introduce you to Micaela Rizo.

Hi Micaela, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?
Ever since I can remember, I’ve always wanted to be in an industry that helps people feel cared for. I worked as a CNA in high school & for a long time I thought that meant I would end up in nursing or psychology — I’ve always had a heart for helping others feel better inside and out. When I discovered esthetics, something clicked. It blended everything I loved: connection, care, confidence, and the ability to make people feel truly good in their own skin.

Right out of esthetician school I opened my own business. For about a year I ran my own business while also working at a franchise. I knew that working for myself was my goal, so I left the franchise & I decided to take the jump and go all in on my own business. It was nerve-wracking at first, but my business has grown a lot over the past 3 years & I have met the most amazing people. My space has become a place where clients can not only take care of their skin, but also relax, unwind, and reconnect with themselves.

Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
Like any business owner, I’ve faced my share of challenges, One if the biggest has been learning to quiet the noise — the fear of failure & worrying about what people think. When you put your name behind something you love, it’s vulnerable. But over time, I’ve realized confidence grows with consistency. Every happy client, every transformation, every small win is a reminder that I am exactly where I’m supposed to be.

Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your business?
At Glow x Meeks, I believe skincare should be both results-driven and relaxing — because you shouldn’t have to choose between feeling pampered and seeing progress. My goal is to create a space where clients can unwind while still investing in their skin health and confidence.

I specialize in lash extensions, spray tans, and customized facial treatments that focus on real results — from acne management and barrier repair to advanced exfoliation and glow-boosting treatments. Every service is tailored to the individual, combining professional-grade products, personalized techniques, and a peaceful touch.

I don’t just provide treatments — I help clients understand their skin and build routines that truly work for them. Whether it’s a first-time facial, lash extensions, or spray tan, every service is approached with care, intention, and results in mind.

Brand-wise, I’m most proud of creating an atmosphere that feels approachable, grounded, and genuine. The neutral, minimalist aesthetic of Glow x Meeks reflects what the brand stands for — natural beauty, real results, and confidence that comes from within.

I want readers to know that at Glow x Meeks, it is more than a treatment — it’s an experience designed to help you look good, feel good, and glow from the inside out.

Alright, so to wrap up, is there anything else you’d like to share with us?
I just want to say how grateful I am for the amazing community that continues to support me and trust me with their skin. It means so much to be able to help people feel confident and cared for. If you’ve been thinking about starting your skincare journey, trying lash extensions, or getting that summer glow from a spray tan, I’d love to welcome you to Glow x Meeks — where you can relax, recharge, and see real results.
