    While studying for her nursing degree, Caitlin Hingst, founder of AMIRI Studio, started her nail business from her spare room. Three years later, she opened a boutique beauty studio in the heart of Lambton. Her goal was to create a sanctuary where her clients could press pause on their busy lives and allow them to relax and recharge.

    When she’s not in studio she is working on AMIRI Academy, which she established earlier this year to share the expertise that earned her a strong reputation and loyal clientele. She is passionate about teaching other young women how they can build a successful business.

    Caitlin’s books are closed to new clients.

  • Beauty Therapist


    My journey into beauty started with a love for skincare, nails, and self-care. After leaving school in 1995, I trained as a dental nurse and surgical assistant before following my passion into beauty, earning my diploma in 1998. At just 20, with an entrepreneurial spirit and a newborn in tow, I launched my first business from home before moving into a salon space, working with top-tier skincare brands (back in the day ) Dermalogica, Algologie, and Nimue. When my daughter Caitlin invited me to help restructure and grow AMIRI, it felt like a full-circle moment working with my daughters while blending my leadership, business experience, and passion for skin. With a refreshed skill set and an open book for skincare clients, I’m thrilled to be back in the beauty industry, doing what I love most…..helping people feel confident in their own skin.

    Glowing skin isn’t just about what we put on it.  It’s a reflection of how we nourish our bodies, how well we rest, how we move, and most importantly, how we heal our emotional and spiritual relationship with ourselves. True beauty starts from within, and I’m here to help my clients achieve that inside and out.
