The Amara Story


Hi, this is Leigh, owner of Amara.
I would love to take you through the journey of my story.

I have always had a passion for helping, serving, and making people feel beautiful. I attended Esthetics school and graduated in January of 2000. I quickly realized that there weren’t many options for pursuing my passions in the small town that I lived in.

I was fortunate to get hired at a small place in Orem, Utah. I worked day in and day out to build my clientele and build relationships with everyone I came in contact with because I just love people. I was able to work closely with our owners and managed the salon for close to five years. I am forever grateful for the opportunities, challenges, and mistakes that I was allowed to make and learn from in the beginning of my career.

My incredible owners reached a crossroad where they were burnt out, and wanted to sell or shut down which started the process of me needing to find a place to work….check out the timeline below to see all of the amazing things we’ve been able to accomplish! I am so grateful for my long time guests that trusted me from the beginning and all of the opportunities that have come my way.
