Our Story
Master Esthetician & Founder · 15+ Years of Experience
Santana Ridgell-Bomar has dedicated the last 15+ years to mastering the art and science of skincare. What started as a passion for artistry in San Diego, CA evolved into a deep commitment to helping real people achieve genuinely healthy skin, now practiced right here in North Hills, Raleigh NC.
Her career spans high-fashion photography, weddings, and special events as a freelance makeup artist, alongside luxury counter positions with brands like Chanel, Anastasia Beverly Hills, Bare Minerals, and Christian Dior.
In 2019, Santana founded Lucid Skin + Beauty Boutique in Raleigh, NC, combining her artistic background with the clinical training and product knowledge required to deliver real, lasting results for her clients. Her esthetician and makeup artistry credentials both come from Bellus Academy, and she is a proud member of the Associated Skin Care Professionals (ASCP).
Santana's philosophy is simple: every client deserves a thoughtful, personalized plan, not a one-size-fits-all treatment. She stays current with the evolving beauty industry so that every Lucid Skin client receives the most effective care available.
“Think of Lucid Skin as a life coach for your skin. I’m here to guide your journey, not just give you a facial.”
