Today we’d like to introduce you to Kim Clark.
Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
My journey into aesthetics was never just about skincare—it was about creating a better life for my daughter, Reese, and me. In 2012, I opened my first business, in Seaside OR while going through a divorce, during one of the most uncertain seasons of my life. It took resilience, determination, and a willingness to bet on myself. I was also fortunate to have incredible business partners who believed in me, challenged me to grow, and helped lay the foundation for the business I have today.
Building a business while raising my daughter taught me that success isn’t about never failing—it’s about continuing to show up. I didn’t just build a skincare business—I built a life that showed my daughter that difficult circumstances don’t have to define your future.
In 2023, I expanded by opening a second location in Hillsboro. My goal wasn’t simply to grow my business—it was to bring advanced skincare and laser treatments to a larger community while continuing to invest in education, technology, and personalized care. Every step has been about creating a place where people feel heard, cared for, and confident in their own skin.
What I love most about my work is helping people feel like themselves again. There’s nothing more rewarding than seeing someone’s confidence grow when they feel like themselves again. That passion continues to inspire me every day and is the reason I’m always learning, growing, and striving to provide the very best care for every client.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
My journey definitely hasn’t been a smooth road. Over the years I’ve balanced the challenges of entrepreneurship and being a single mom. Like any small business owner, I’ve experienced economic ups and downs, and the many responsibilities that come with owning a business.
Expanding to two locations brought exciting opportunities, but it also meant taking on a whole new level of responsibility. Managing multiple locations, investing in advanced technology, maintaining specialized equipment, and keeping up with an ever-evolving industry requires constant attention and adaptability. Those behind-the-scenes responsibilities are just as important as the treatments my clients see.
Looking back, every challenge has made me a stronger business owner and person. I’ve learned that success isn’t about avoiding obstacles—it’s about continuing to grow through them, surrounding yourself with good people, and never losing sight of why you started.
Great, so let’s talk business. Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
Kim Clark Skin is built around helping people feel confident in their own skin. I specialize in advanced laser and skin treatments, customized skincare plans that focus on healthy, natural-looking results.
What sets my practice apart is that I truly believe every person’s skin is different. I take the time to educate my clients, understand their goals, and create a treatment plan that’s right for them instead of taking a one-size-fits-all approach.
I’m passionate about continuing my education and investing in advanced technology so I can offer the best treatments possible. At the end of the day, my goal is simple—to help people feel more confident than when they walked in.
Can you share something surprising about yourself?
I think people would be surprised to learn that I’m actually an introvert. While I genuinely love connecting with people one-on-one and building relationships with my clients, putting myself in front of a camera for social media doesn’t come naturally to me. It’s something I’ve had to work at because I believe educating people about their skin and sharing my knowledge is an important part of what I do. Stepping outside my comfort zone has allowed me to connect with even more people and help them make informed decisions about their skin.
