NAME: OLIVIA CLARK
POSITION: MASTER ESTHETICIAN
Where are you from originally?
Temecula, California
What inspired you to become an esthetician?
Well to start I was adopted and growing up the way I learned about skin & hair was trial and error. I always wished I could reach out to someone who could educate me on how to care for and maintain my skin. My inspiration is being the support my clients need when trying new treatments and offering advice on products.
How long have you been a part of the Dermaspace team?
Just less than a year, excited for many more!
What do you love most about working at Dermaspace?
My team, we all carry the same passion for result driven treatments and have a great time doing it.
Any memorable moments or experiences you’ve had here?
Training was a blast, meeting lots of long-term clients gave me more insight on how amazing and effective the Iderm Treatment really is.
What is your favorite service and why?
I love the Iderm Facial + Microdermabrasion add-on because it leaves textured and dull skin feeling & looking refreshed, plump and brighter after just one session.
What’s your personal philosophy when it comes to skincare and beauty?
I believe that healthy skin is perfect skin. Anyone can achieve healthy, happy skin. It's all about finding what works for you.
What are your favorite Dermaspace skincare retail we carry and why?
My favorite product for skin needing a little extra tlc would be the Activating Liposome Complex. It embraces your skin with calming and healing properties…. definitely a super serum for the client with sensitized skin.
Share a valuable skincare tip that you think everyone should know.
Washing your pillowcases, sanitizing your phone and limiting friction on the face is a recipe for happier skin.
What do you enjoy most about interacting with clients?
I love that with each session I get to unlock more about my clients and their needs, from new treatments to home care. I'm happy to support any way I can.
Can you share a memorable client success story?
I had a client come in with some new and mysterious breakouts along the hairline and neck, after a few treatments and many questions we determined this was actually a reaction to a hair dye they use. We eliminated that from their routine and got them on some fantastic healing and calming products and now we meet once a month to maintain their skins health.
How do you ensure each client has a personalized and enjoyable experience at Dermaspace?
I start by asking my clients what the inspiration behind their session is. Anti-aging? Hyperpigmentation? A well-deserved self-care day? Special event coming up? From there I like to chat for a minute or two about what you’d like to see in your skin and what I think we need to work on as well.
What are your hobbies or interests outside of work?
I’m a big foodie! I love exploring Seattle and finding new bites to try.
Do you have a favorite relaxation or self-care ritual?
Absolutely, I start by gathering all my desired lotions and potions together in the bathroom and jamming out to whatever my music obsession of the week is. From there it looks like a bit of witchcraft but the results leave me looking like a glazed donut and ready for bed!
Any favorite skincare ingredients or treatments you can’t live without?
I think I couldn’t live without niacinamide, ceramides and hyaluronic acid. I can't pick between the three. I feel like my skin NEEDS them all.
Quickfire Round!
Coffee or tea?
Iced Coffee Year Round
Beach vacation or mountain getaway?
Beach vacation any day!
Morning person or night owl?
Morning person but I’m a sucker for a beautiful sunset!
Favorite band or singer right now?
Tems ( best song would be Free Mind)
A book or movie that has had a significant impact on you.
“The Voice of Knowledge” by Don Miguel Ruiz. It's a beautiful read that helped me expand my mind and have more compassion for myself.
What advice would you give to someone looking to improve their skincare routine?
I would say that patience and consistency is key. You’ve got this and don't fall for the newest TikTok trend!
Any self-confidence tips you’d like to share with our clients?
That magnifying mirror with 100 bright lights is not how people see you or your skin. Texture, lines. and redness is normal, and it can be managed, minimized and healthy skin maintained.
What is a brief personal message to our current and potential clients to share what they can expect when they book an appointment with you.
Hello returning and new clients! So happy to have you here, I’m excited to get to work with you and your skin. When booking with me you can expect to have a safe place to express your concerns and wants. You will receive commitment and compassion every session with me.
Share one fun or surprising fact that clients might not know about you.
The summer of 2018 I spent my time backpacking over 250 miles in our beautiful national parks!
