From Sleepless Nights to Skin That Glows: The Mum Behind Rêve Skin + Beauty

When you walk into Rêve Skin + Beauty, the first thing you’ll notice isn’t a wall of products or a list of complicated treatments — it’s the calm. The music is soft, the air smells like serenity, and there’s an immediate sense that this isn’t just another clinic. It’s a space designed to make women feel seen, safe, and understood. That’s exactly how founder Meghann Nikola wanted it.

“The beauty industry can feel intimidating — white walls, clinical lighting, and a side of judgement,” she says. “I wanted Rêve to feel like the opposite of that. No pressure, no perfection. Just warmth and genuine connection.”

It’s that philosophy that’s made Rêve Skin + Beauty more than a clinic — it’s a sanctuary for real women who are juggling kids, careers, and chaos, and still want to feel good in their own skin.

From structure to softness

Before opening Rêve, Meghann’s world looked very different. As a single mum with a background in the Army and corporate sectors, she was used to order, precision, and discipline — not LED lights and collagen boosters. But it turns out those years of structure gave her the resilience to take on the unpredictable world of business ownership.

“In the Army, everything is about strategy and structure. Running Rêve taught me about intuition, empathy, and the power of human connection,” she shares. “You have to be adaptable. Beauty isn’t one-size-fits-all — it’s about finding what makes each woman feel confident.”

Skin first, sanity second
Ask any mum what she’d do with 30 spare minutes and you’ll probably hear: “nap” or “scroll in peace.” But Meghann has a different idea. “If you can carve out just half an hour a week, focus on skin health. Cleanse properly, exfoliate gently, and once a month, treat yourself to an express HydraFacial,” she says. “It’s quick, no downtime, and it makes you feel human again.”

Her top recommendation for visible results? Microneedling with exosomes. “It’s the ultimate bang-for-buck treatment. You see results straight away — smoother texture, glowier tone — and they keep building for weeks. It’s perfect for time-poor women who want that ‘I actually slept last night’ look.”

The myth of ‘natural is better’

If you’ve ever swapped a serum for something with “botanical” on the label, Meghann gets it — but she’s also here to bust the myth. “Natural doesn’t always mean gentle or effective,” she explains. “Some essential oils and raw botanicals can actually cause sensitivity or pigmentation. Lab-created ingredients can be purer and more stable. Your skin doesn’t care if it came from a plant or a lab — it cares if it works.”

At Rêve, everything is evidence-based. It’s not about chasing trends, but choosing formulations that actually support the skin’s barrier and long-term health.

Confidence beyond the mirror
The biggest glow-up stories at Rêve aren’t just about skin — they’re about self-worth. “When women take time for themselves, something shifts,” says Meghann. “They stand taller, smile differently, and see themselves through a kinder lens. That’s confidence.”

Every treatment at Rêve starts with a consultation, not a sales pitch. “We tailor every plan to her lifestyle, her goals, and her skin. Because confidence doesn’t come from copying someone else’s routine — it comes from finding what works for you.”

The reality of a beauty founder who’s also a mum

Meghann laughs when asked about her own skincare routine. “Honestly? Good skin, lash extensions, and a bit of gloss — that’s my version of put-together.” She admits there are plenty of days she’s running on caffeine and six hours of sleep. “When life’s chaotic, skincare is my anchor. It’s not about looking perfect, it’s about feeling like myself again.”

Her advice for women who feel guilty taking time for themselves? “Stop thinking of it as vanity. It’s maintenance for your mind. When you feel good in your skin, you show up differently in every part of your life — for your kids, your work, yourself.”

What’s next for Rêve
Rêve Skin + Beauty continues to grow as a trusted space for women who want results without the overwhelm. From HydraFacials to RF microneedling, every treatment is about making beauty feel achievable, not aspirational.

“Beauty isn’t about fixing what’s wrong,” Meghann says. “It’s about celebrating what’s right — and giving yourself permission to feel good again.”

Because sometimes, the most transformative treatment isn’t what happens on your skin — it’s what happens beneath it.
