Meraki Creative Suites was born out of a simple observation: the East End of Long Island had nothing like it.
As a hairdresser and educator in the beauty industry, Stephanie saw firsthand what creative professionals on the East End were missing — a place to call their own. Not a sterile, corporate suite rental. Not a commute to the city or western Long Island. A real home for their business, right here in the community they live and work in.
In 2021, Stephanie and her team opened Meraki Creative Suites inside the historic Old Post Office building in downtown Riverhead — and the East End finally had its first dedicated space for independent creative professionals to grow.
We built Meraki to feel different from the moment you walk in. You'll feel the charm of the East End — warm, welcoming, and full of character. A place where hair stylists, estheticians, lash technicians, makeup artists, photographers, and creative entrepreneurs of all kinds can build something truly their own, surrounded by a community that supports them.
Your dream career doesn't have to wait. It starts here.
