Meet Sam

Hi, I’m Samantha Katz and I am passionate about healthy skin, high quality skin care and simple, but effective routines. I am a Registered Nurse, Licensed Aesthetician, wife, dog mom, small business owner. I have more than 20 years of experience as a registered nurse having worked primarily in the hospital setting. I gained invaluable experiences with many patients undergoing some of the most complex procedures in medicine, specifically cardiac surgery. I now have the privilege and am enjoying another rewarding career with a new focus - skin health. For me, this is a beautiful way to care for people. I enjoy helping each of my clients enhance their natural beauty, feel more confident in their skin and focus on their overall skin health. The goal is to have healthy skin for a lifetime.

 

My Focus

I take skin, skin health and skin care very seriously - if you know me, you know that I love talking about all things skin. I am a skin care enthusiast and have always appreciated professional skin care and treatments. It’s not about being beautiful - for me it’s about having healthy skin, knowing how to repair your skin and what you need to do to protect your skin. I believe you don’t have to destroy it to make it healthier. Lasers and injections have their place, but my approach is to enhance your natural beauty and focus on your skin health. Healthy skin is the foundation of any advanced procedure including facial injections, fillers or lasers. Consistently nourish, repair, protect and repeat. Trust the process, enjoy the glow!

 

We often take our skin for granted and don’t provide it with the care and nutrition needed to maintain health, beauty and optimal function. Skin care and beauty is a multi-billion dollar worldwide industry. Unfortunately, as with any area so diffuse and complex it can be hard to navigate and understand. You are bombarded daily with ads and offers for a variety of products with different ingredients and infinite services and claims. This is where I come in and I am here to help - I keep it simple. I will never sell you something that I do not believe in or that you do not need. I have selected the top brands of skin care led by science and research to simplify the process for you.

 

The Skin Glow Experience

I have created a beautiful, peaceful studio for my clients. With each visit I want to ensure that you leave feeling relaxed, more confident with healthier, glowing skin. I believe there is a place for most of the things offered in the world of aesthetics, but my focus is on enhancing your natural beauty while improving your overall sense of confidence.

 

My focus is on your skin - I believe that you must start with healthy skin. You do not need a complex routine, but you do need the right ingredients, proper formulations and consistency. I believe in the power of science based skin care, daily sun protection, and more advanced treatments including microneedling and chemical peels. Having a plan will set you up for success and I will teach you how to care for your skin.

 

I value the time I spend with each of my clients. I enjoy spending time getting to know you, learning about your skin and how I can best help you. I set aside about 2 hours on your initial visit to ensure we have enough time to discuss and develop a plan of care for you. I don’t want to feel rushed and neither should you.

 

A Lifetime Learner

My passion is education, not only for myself but offering my knowledge and experience on a personalized and individual basis to each of my clients. My intention is to help you navigate this realm of the constantly evolving skin care industry to achieve the best possible results for your health and beauty. Remember, there are no shortcuts or miracle products.

 

Outside of the treatment room, I dedicate every spare moment to developing my skills, researching skin care and new technology and evaluating what’s worth it and what’s not. I attend clinical conferences, virtual education seminars and collaborate with others in our industry. I cherry pick the professional brands that I partner with and I only carry the products that I believe in.

 

I will never stop learning and I love to share! I am now living my dream and I look forward to helping you. I hope to see you soon!

 

Remember, your skin is your face to the world so you must treat it well!
