About

Meet Sam

Welcome, sweet soul! I'm Sam! The esthetician, founder, and creator behind Barefaced Skin Studio.

I created this space because I know firsthand how deeply your skin can impact the way you see and feel about yourself every single day. I’ve experienced the frustration, the trial and error, and the feeling of doing everything “right” without seeing the results you're looking for.

That’s why I don’t just treat the skin, I treat the person behind it.

My approach is rooted in corrective skincare that prioritizes long term skin health. By combining clinical knowledge with a warm, personalized, supportive experience, I focus on creating real, lasting change, not quick fixes.

My goal is for you to feel confident saying yes to plans, showing up fully, and settling into a softer way of seeing and being with yourself, both in your skin and in who you are.

This is a space created to support you, understand you, and help you feel truly seen.

The Beginning of Barefaced Skin Studio

What started as an idea in a journal, became something that felt bigger than me and something I believed in enough to bring to life.

It became a space, a community, and something more meaningful than I could have ever imagined.

Barefaced Skin Studio opened it's doors on April 18th and on August 19th, 2026, I celebrated the the grand opening of Barefaced Skin Studio surrounded by so many people who supported, encouraged, and believed in this dream from the very beginning.

This video captures a little piece of that day, and a chapter I will forever hold close.

Barefaced Skin Studio wasn’t built overnight. Before the doors ever opened, there were pages and pages of ideas, inspiration, fears, lessons, pivots, and moments that shaped what Barefaced Skin Studio would eventually become.

The Barefaced Confidential actually began before I ever had a studio of my own. Through personal outreach, I started an email list that grew to 130 people. It was a small community I could stay connected with, share what I was learning with, and bring along for the journey before Barefaced had a physical space.

Today, it’s where I share the stories behind the studio and the parts you don’t always see once the doors are open.

While most of these stories live exclusively in the inboxes of my subscribers, I’m sharing a few of the foundational chapters here.
