Aligned Beauty Studio

“My journey into esthetics was deeply personal. After a life-changing car accident, I was reminded of how short life can be, and how important it is to cherish each moment. This experience drives my passion for making a positive impact in the lives of others. For me, there is nothing more rewarding than helping someone feel confident in their own skin. When you choose me for your beauty needs, know that you’re not just another client—you’re someone I deeply respect, and I’m grateful for your trust in me. Whether you’re here for a lash lift, a skincare treatment, or a little brow grooming, I’m here to help you feel beautiful, confident, and empowered.”

Aishah’s Vision

I’m thrilled to be founding a boutique medical and cosmetic spa right here in Winthrop, Maine—a dream born from my passion for helping those around me feel their best. True beauty is a synergy of art, science, and holistic well-being. 

For years, my work has centered on promoting treatments that focus on the foundational health of the skin, emphasizing nourishment from the inside out while utilizing methods that respect the body's natural processes. Additionally, as an experienced Permanent Makeup Artist, I've developed the precision, artistry, and skills necessary to achieve subtle, life-changing enhancements. This background has equipped me with an eye for detail and a profound understanding of how personalized aesthetic services can truly elevate a person’s confidence.

My goal is to curate a safe space for you to relax and leave feeling like you can lead a more happy and productive lifestyle, because you feel more confident!
