About

The Claire was founded by Kim Kennedy and is built on three principles: healthy living, strong service and technology-driven solutions. It currently operates from the owner's home boutique studio, which the business describes as clean and private.

The business presents itself as committed to safe and effective treatments and to a high standard of care. Its treatment plans are customized for each client's ongoing skincare goals, and clients receive skincare product recommendations for home care based on their skin type and condition. Every treatment includes a mask and post-care skin samples, and clients may bring their own products for a complimentary review.

Signature offerings include the Acne Lift, which combines extractions, LED blue light, high frequency, superficial exfoliation and a customized mask, and a Teen Acne Facial for younger clients. The Signature Facial uses a vitamin C and enzyme treatment for dry, dull or sensitive skin and rosacea, and the business states it is safe for pregnant and nursing clients.

For pigmentation, the Lightening Lift uses a lactic, kojic and phytic treatment that ends with cryoclear freezing. The Wrinkle Lift uses a glycolic and retinol treatment, with optional peeling and no downtime. Chemical peels include a Jessner or TCA option described as medium-depth for aging, pigmentation and acne, with three to five days of downtime and deluxe post-peel home care samples. Microdermabrasion is offered alone or with vitamin C enzyme, and add-on hand and chest treatments are available. Gift certificates can be ordered by text or call.

Organized around healthy living, service and technology, with treatment plans that adapt to each client's ongoing goals.

The studio is described as clean and private.
