Kristi Sims

Owner – Esthetician

I have been a licensed esthetician since 2007. I opened The Skin Bar in 2012 in Benton. Over the last decade I expanded from being a one person establishment to a full service Med-Spa, then opened a second Med Spa in 2022 in Hot Springs
Village. I struggled with horrible skin early in my teen years that lasted into adulthood. I understand more than anyone how it affects self esteem. I also remember going places for treatments and spending $$ with no results or feeling uncomfortable at “CERTAIN PLACES”. When I opened this business I specifically wanted everyone to feel welcome and comfortable when they walk in the door. I hope to have achieved this. Ive definitely made mistakes over the years but have learned so much and am constantly trying to improve the business. I truly appreciate everyone who has been a client and if you have never been in to see us please give us a chance because we are here for YOU. Alas…. I have 3
boys and have been married 25 years and in spare time which is not often I love to DIY….

BIO

Hi friends! I’m Kristen! I was born and raised in Benton, AR and I’ve been a registered nurse since 2018. I worked in the ICU while I pursued my dream of becoming an aesthetic nurse

After I got a few years of ICU experience under my belt, I felt ready to take my first COVID ICU travel assignment. I traveled to Vandy in Nashville, TN and VCU in Richmond, VA. I’m extremely thankful for the friendships I made and patients I cared for.

While travel nursing, I was fortunate enough to get offered an aesthetic job. I have been injecting for two years and I know aesthetics is where I am meant to be! I am so grateful for Kristy and the opportunity I was granted with @theskinbar. I am so excited to meet you all!

My goal is to enhance your natural beauty and make you feel/look like the best version of yourself. Before I was in this industry, the attributes I valued from my injector were; authenticity, knowledge, a warm and welcoming personality, and an artistic eye. I strive to have all of these qualities for my patients.

Fun facts:

  • I am currently in school at ASU for my Family Nurse Practitioner
  • I am half greek and have plans to go to Greece for the first time next summer!
  • Me and my husband have been together a total of 8 yrs and married for 3.5
  • I am a mother to 3 baby dogs
  • I met my best friend at 5 yrs old and we are now 28, still going strong
  • My friends would probably describe me as bubbly, loyal, and hard working
  • My hobbies include injecting y’all’s beautiful faces, lifting weights, traveling, and spending time with my husband and dogs

Ashley Vise

BOOK WITH ASHLEY »
 

BIO
My name is Ashley Vise. I am a native to Hot Springs, Arkansas where I live with my husband and have a daughter who is attending the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville. I love spending time with my family, listening to live music, spending time in nature, and will often be found studying philosophy or ancient history in my downtime. I started my nursing career in 2012 in emergency medicine which has given me a wealth of experience and a unique perspective. Recognizing the transformative power of aesthetic procedures, I decided to expand my skillset to include laser therapy, dermal injections and fillers, PDO threading, sclerotherapy and have a passion for more holistic approaches such as platelet rich plasma and fillers in addition to plant-based stem cells for regenerative beauty and hair restoration; these modalities, when included with laser and micro needling procedures, reduce downtime and discomfort for overall better outcomes. I take pride in my graduation from the esteemed National Laser Institute, a renowned institution known for its rigorous training programs and commitment to excellence. I am dedicated to staying at the forefront of the industry, constantly updating my knowledge and skills to provide the highest quality care. With a warm and compassionate demeanor, I foster a supportive and comfortable environment for my clients. I take the time to listen to their concerns, educate them about the various treatment options, and collaborate with them to develop treatment plans that align with their goals. Through my expertise, professionalism, and genuine care, I strive to help individuals feel beautiful, confident, and empowered.
