Founder + Aesthetic Nurse Practitioner at Gold Bar Aesthetics

Klaudija Holliday is a board-certified Nurse Practitioner, Aesthetic Specialist, and the founder of Gold Bar Aesthetics. She holds both her bachelor’s and master’s degrees from The Ohio State University and brings over a decade of clinical experience in long-term care, rehabilitation, and inpatient hospital settings.

Klaudija’s passion for aesthetics began long before her medical career rooted in a love for beauty, fashion, and the confidence that comes from feeling like your best self. Her early work in geriatrics shaped her thoughtful, age-inclusive approach to aesthetics, grounded in respect for the aging process and individualized care.

At Gold Bar Aesthetics, Klaudija blends medical expertise with a calm, personalized touch. She is known for subtle, natural results and a philosophy centered on enhancement—not transformation. Her mission is simple: to create a space where clients feel seen, supported, and empowered to invest in themselves with confidence.

Samantha Smith, MBA, BSN, RN

Founder + Aesthetic Nurse at Gold Bar Aesthetics

Samantha Smith is a skilled aesthetic nurse with a background in cardiac critical care and a passion for refined, natural-looking results. She earned both her Bachelor of Science in Nursing and her Master of Business Administration from The Ohio State University, combining clinical excellence with a strong foundation in business and leadership.

Her years at the bedside in high-acuity cardiac units sharpened her attention to detail, deepened her empathy, and gave her the steady hands she now brings into every aesthetic treatment. That same clinical precision—paired with her creative eye—led her to open Gold Bar Aesthetics located in central Ohio, a space where medical expertise meets modern artistry in a calm, luxurious setting.

Samantha is known for her approachable style, gentle technique, and personalized treatments that enhance each client’s natural radiance. She believes in setting the gold standard in aesthetics through honesty, education, and subtle, lasting results.

Outside the treatment room, she’s most often immersed in her next creative project—whether it’s styling an outfit, curating content, or dreaming up new ways to make beauty feel more personal.
