Tara Arena - Esthetician

Hi ! My name is Tara!

I was born and raised in New York and blessed to have parents that supported me in all that I wanted to do in life. Following high school, my life plans changed. I was attending school to be a lawyer when I fell into a nanny position where I helped raise 3 kids for over a decade! I chose my job over school when I realized I was not chasing my passion. In that time, the kids I cared for were growing up and I knew I wanted to pursue a career I was passionate about. I was married and pregnant with my first daughter when I began my education to become an Esthetician. After Kensley was born I graduated and received my license in aesthetics with additional certifications in chemical peels, microdermabrasion, microblading and XO8 cosmeceuticals. My best friend decided to join me in my new chapter of becoming an esthetician. We started a business together in New York and it grew fairly quickly! During this time I had my second daughter, Hope. In 2018, my husband John and I decided to take a huge plunge when we left New York and moved to Texas. As much as we loved Texas it was far away from our family, after a year we decided to move again and landed in North Carolina where we now call home. I was able to maintain my business by traveling back to New York monthly but I soon realized I wasn't able to give 100% of myself to any one thing. Since settling in Huntersville, NC I’ve had a couple positions but truly wanted to get back to my passion and I knew God had bigger plans for me. Being a part of making someone feel like their best self was what I LOVED to do. I love seeing the look on their face of feeling refreshed and confident! I have always loved taking care of my skin and I love being able to give my guests that same feeling. My daughters are settled in their schools and activities they love and my husband has his own business. God has led me to a point where I am able to focus on my passion and doing what I love, being an esthetician is just that and so much more! I truly prayed to find my place and God led me to morgan+co BEAUTY LOUNGE. I look forward to partnering with you on your skin care journey!
