Manea
Pronounced: Mah-Neh-Ah
Manea means beautiful, graceful. However, its meaning extends far beyond physical beauty. It represents kindness, confidence, strength, character and inner beauty.
It is also used to describe the breathtaking beauty of the Cook Islands, representing our culture and our Polynesian people.
That's why I chose the name MANEA Skin — Beautiful Skin.

The Logo
The logo was designed alongside my tattoo artist Teitinga Designs, who is deeply rooted in our Cook Islands culture, studied the Tatau and created a beautiful piece, my logo. With every curve and every pattern representing "Beauty & Grace in a Woman."
In the Cook Islands, Manea is more than a word. It is a feeling — the warmth of the sun on your skin, the grace of a woman who knows her worth, the quiet strength of a culture that has endured.
Every treatment, every masterclass, every franchise opportunity we create carries that meaning. We are not just building a business. We are honouring a culture, a people and a legacy.
"When I chose the name Manea, I chose to carry my culture, my dad and my people with me every single day."
— Tash Tuariki
