Melissa Alvarez

Founder, Facialist
Welcome to Terra Skin Studio, where clinical expertise meets personalized care.
My skincare journey began in 2010, and over the years, I’ve had the honor of helping countless clients transform their skin and their confidence. I spent 7 years working in medical esthetics as a certified laser technician before following my dream of opening my own studio. Today, Terra Skin Studio is proud to be the first certified DMK MD Clinic in Wichita, Kansas. A reflection of my commitment to excellence and advanced skin revision.
As a bilingual esthetician (English + Spanish), I’m passionate about making every client feel seen, heard, and cared for. I’ve trained with over 15 top skincare brands (and counting!) to ensure I’m always bringing the best tools and techniques to the treatment room.
Beyond the studio, I love cooking, reimagining spaces, and spending time with my family. I bring that same creativity and care to every facial I give. My goal is to deliver the best facial you’ve ever had and help you build a skincare routine that’s easy to follow and truly effective.
Whether you're new to skincare or looking to level up your results, I'm here to guide you every step of the way. Let’s get your skin glowing and your confidence shining!
