Elevating Confidence in the Heart of Sandpoint
Courtesy of Signature Aesthetics

Sandpoint has a way of bringing out the best in people, and nowhere is that more evident than in the journeys of Nancy Andrews of Signature Aesthetics and Sarah Merli of StyleBar Beauty Bar. Over the years, these two women have built more than just thriving beauty businesses. They have built a friendship rooted in shared experiences, long days, hard work, and the kind of mutual support that only fellow business owners truly understand. They both speak about this journey with genuine appreciation, describing how growing side by side has added depth, purpose, and connection to their work. In a town where community is everything, their partnership shows that beauty goes far beyond treatments and services. It lives in the people who lift each other up.
The holiday season brings out something special in both Signature Aesthetics and StyleBar. Their spaces feel warm and welcoming, and each visit carries a sense of joy that reflects the heart of their businesses. Sarah loves surprising clients with little thank-you gifts, offering a moment of delight during a busy season. Nancy focuses on slowing things down, giving clients a place to breathe, reset, and genuinely feel cared for. Their holiday collaboration blends those strengths perfectly, creating meaningful experiences that bring comfort, confidence, and connection to the community they love. Together, they remind Sandpoint that self-care is not a luxury at the holidays. It is a simple act of giving back to yourself.
What makes their story truly inspiring is the way they learn from one another. Nancy admires Sarah’s determination and the way she continues to grow, no matter how long the day has been. Sarah looks to Nancy’s consistency, faith, and heart as a model for leading with both strength and grace. Their message to women who dream of starting a business in Sandpoint is filled with encouragement: believe in yourself, stay resilient, keep rising even when it is hard, and trust that this community will support you. Their shared story beautifully captures what it means to build something meaningful in a small town, where relationships matter and where women supporting women creates something powerful for everyone.
