Your Scottsdale skincare specialist

Facials, brow lamination, and lash lifts are just a few of the many innovative skincare and beauty treatments I offer at Gameela Skin. My Scottsdale, AZ based skincare salon was started out of love for my clients to help them enhance their natural beauty. After working in the beauty industry for over 15 years, it's become very clear that a lot of what goes on in the skincare world is misunderstood by those who do not live and breathe it. As an accomplished and skilled licensed esthetician, my goal at Gameela Skin is to not only help my clients make sense of the long list of services offered nowadays but also help determine what they should be investing in to feel their best.

Gameela Skin gives you the personalized spa experience you deserve. I strive to create a peaceful and calming environment where both men and women can escape to a safe space. My treatments are curated with the intention of enhancing your natural beauty, allowing you to leave my salon feeling empowered and encouraged to take care of yourself in all aspects of life.

I take the time to understand each client's skin type and unique skin conditions to make sure I am offering the best, safest treatment that will reveal your natural beauty and have you leaving your appointment feeling refreshed.

Every service at Gameela Skin is thoughtfully designed with one goal in mind: to help you look and feel like the best version of yourself. Whether you are coming in for self-care, targeting a specific skin concern, or looking for low-maintenance beauty treatments that fit your lifestyle, I”ve got you covered. I offer the following services:

Custom Facials: Every facial I perform at Gameela Skin is completely customized to your skin type and concerns. Whether you are combatting dryness, breakouts, dullness, or signs of aging, I build your treatment around what your skin actually needs. Each 75-minute session includes a deep cleanse, exfoliation, steam, extractions, masking, and a relaxing massage, leaving you with a radiant, healthy glow that you will want to maintain every month.
Dermaplaning: This is one of my favorite treatments. Think of dermaplaning as your skin's reset button. Using a sterile surgical blade, I gently remove the top layer of dead skin cells and fine facial hair, revealing smoother, brighter skin underneath. Dermaplaning delivers an instantly noticeable difference. I recommend clients pair the service with a custom facial for even deeper results.
Waxing: From facial waxing to body hair removal, my waxing services are designed to leave your skin smooth, clean, and irritation-free. I offer brow shaping, lip waxing, chin waxing, and more for women, as well as back, chest, brow, nose, and ear waxing for men.
Lash Lift and Tint: The best lash duo to wake up with naturally curled, defined lashes, no mascara required. A lash lift gives your natural lashes a beautiful, semi-permanent curl that lasts 6 to 8 weeks. Most clients pair it with a lash tint to add depth and definition to their lashes.
Brow Lamination: Brow lamination is becoming more and more popular. Brow lamination smooths and sets your brow hairs into place for a brushed-up, defined look that lasts for weeks. It is the perfect low-maintenance treatment for anyone who wants their brows to look like they just stepped out of a salon every morning.

Testimonials

“I’ve been to Nancy many times over the last 1.5 years for eyelash lifts and tints (although she offers many other services as well). She is WONDERFUL. I love how perfectly curled and black my eyelashes look after she’s done with them. The procedure lasts about 6-8 weeks.
She is so kind and and truly cares about each of her clients. She took extra time to discuss my allergies (I’m v sensitive) and tested a small patch with the glue she uses to ensure I would not have a reaction. I’m so glad I was not allergic because I love going to see her for beautiful lashes! I’ve received numerous compliments about my lashes from friends and strangers. Her studio is gorgeous and she plays great, calm music. I can’t recommend her enough for lash lovers. Thank you, Nancy!”

- HAYLEY V.

“I love Nancy!! I have been going to see Nancy to get my eyebrows waxed for the last 10 years. She saved me from myself and my tweezers when I was in high school and my brows have been perfect ever since. Over the last year I was preparing my skin to be perfect for my wedding so I also started to see her for facials and dermaplaning and I am in LOVE. Seriously, I don’t know how i went 26 years without a facial. She does such a great job and always leaves my skin feeling refreshed and blemish free. I cant wait to try more skin treatments in the future!”

- FALYNNE M.

“Brows, Microblading, Facials, Waxing...Nancy is a master at it all! She has an amazing eye for detail and it shows. After a recent visit to her studio for a facial, I went to dinner with some friends. They kept asking me what was different about me because I was glowing! It is 110% because of Nancy’s services and her follow up education. I have learned so much about how to care for my skin, and it makes me feel so confident. I even go out with no make up which was something I wasn’t sure I would ever do!”

- LAURA Z.

“Nancy has been making my brows beautiful for the past few months. I always get them waxed and tinted. I never realized how much brow hair I had (being a fine/thin haired blonde) until Nancy got ahold of them! And I have never received compliments on my brows until now! Not only do they look beautiful, they stay beautiful for much longer than when I have gotten them done in the past! I also have received a facial and dermaplane from Nancy and the quality of her work is top notch! You will not be disappointed!”

- Ericka V.

“Nancy is a Godsend!!!!!! She is so passionate in what she does. She will cater to your facial needs, gives the best advice, and recommends only the best of the best skin products...When it comes to brows, this girl is a perfectionist, an expertise, the only person I would trust.”

- Colleen C.

“I have been a client for almost 10 years and can say Nancy is the best! Her ability to achieve perfection every time is why I could never trust anyone else. ❤️”

- KRISTEN B.

“I’ve been a client of Nancy’s for about 7 years and she is genuinely GIFTED! You’ll literally be amazed and hooked by her perfectionism and exceptional skills, but the most refreshing part of being a client of Nancy’s is her kindness and sincere care for you! So few experiences actually consistently live up to their 5-star reviews, but you will truly enjoy a high-trust, stress-free experience with Nancy the first time and every single time! And you’ll enjoy the BEST brows you’ve ever had!”

- ERICA B.

“Love Nancy and her expertise! She can take your current brows to the next level or create all new ones for you! Not to mention she understands skin on the level of expert!”

- STEVIE P.

Preparation varies by treatment, but in general I recommend arriving with a clean face and no makeup for facial services.

As the owner of Gameela Skin in Scottsdale, I hear this question from men all the time: Is waxing actually for guys? The answer is yes! & once they try it, most wish they’d done it sooner.
