scottsdale skin studio

Gameela Skin is a skincare studio based in North Scottsdale, serving clients Valleywide. Owner and lead esthetician Nancy Ham, offers Elleebana lash lifts, brow laminations, hair removal for men and women, custom facials, and more.
Nancy Ham founded Gameela Skin in 2018 on a simple idea: skincare shouldn't be confusing.

So much of the skincare world is misunderstood by people outside the industry, and Nancy wanted a studio where clients get honest answers, clear product and service recommendations, and results they can see. The goal at Gameela Skin is to help you understand your options and invest in the treatments that will enhance your natural beauty, so you leave the studio feeling incredible and ready to take on the world.

Our scottsdale esthetician.png — Meet Licensed Esthetician, Nancy Ham

Hi, I’m Nancy. Many of you already know me! I'm the founder and lead esthetician here at Gameela Skin, and I've been a licensed esthetician in Arizona since 2006. That's nearly 20 years of hands-on skincare experience in the Phoenix area, from corporate spa treatment rooms to opening my own studio, Gameela Skin, here in North Scottsdale.
After years of working in the corporate spa world (if you know, you know), I knew I wanted to do things differently. In 2018, I opened Gameela Skin so I could give every client the time, education, and personalized care they deserve.
Every skin and beauty service I offer is tailored to you and your skin. We’ll chat through your skincare goals, challenges, your lifestyle, and more. At Gameela Skin, I use professional-grade products, explain what I'm doing throughout the service and why, and make sure you leave knowing how to care for your skin at home. My goal is to help you enhance your natural beauty and feel confident and comfortable in your own skin.
When I'm not in the treatment room, you'll probably find me out trying a new local Scottsdale restaurant, walking my dogs, grabbing a Press Coffee, or taking a Peloton boot camp class in the comfort of my own home.

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!”

“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!”

“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!”

“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!”

“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.”

“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.
