Hidden Gems: Meet Samantha Smith Klaudija Holliday of Gold Bar Aesthetics

Today we’d like to introduce you to Samantha Smith Klaudija Holliday.

Hi Samantha Smith, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers?
Gold Bar Aesthetics started from a simple idea. We wanted to create a space where people feel confident, taken care of, and truly seen.

We have always been drawn to the balance between science and creativity. Our backgrounds taught us the importance of precision, safety, and trust, but we also saw how powerful confidence can be when someone feels like the best version of themselves. Over time, people began coming to us not just for treatments, but for guidance, education, and honest conversations about their goals.

As we built Gold Bar, our intent was very clear. We did not want a quick fix or trend driven approach. We wanted every treatment to be planned, thoughtful, and rooted in education. We believe the best results come from understanding facial anatomy, long term goals, and creating a plan that evolves with the client over time.

Today, Gold Bar Aesthetics reflects that philosophy. We focus on personalized treatment plans, education first consultations, and results that feel refined and natural. Our goal is to set a higher standard in aesthetics by enhancing what is already there and helping our clients feel confident, informed, and empowered at every step.

I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
Not at all. The road was far from smooth, and in many ways, that is what shaped us the most.

One of the biggest challenges was learning that things do not always happen on your timeline. There were delays, unexpected obstacles, and moments where plans we were excited about simply did not come together the way we envisioned. We also heard a lot of “no” along the way, whether that was opportunities not working out or doors closing that we thought were meant for us.

There were also very real, tangible moments that tested us. We remember installing wallpaper we loved, only to watch it start falling off the walls. It sounds small, but in the middle of building a business, moments like that can feel overwhelming. At the time, it felt like yet another setback.

What we learned, though, is that every delay and every no was actually redirecting us. Each challenge forced us to reassess, refine, and make better decisions. The wallpaper came down and we ended up with a space that felt even more elevated and aligned with our vision. The opportunities that did not work out made room for better ones.

Looking back, those moments pushed us toward a stronger outcome. They taught us patience, resilience, and trust in the process. Most importantly, they reminded us that growth rarely comes from things going perfectly. It comes from learning, adapting, and continuing forward with intention.

Appreciate you sharing that. What should we know about Gold Bar Aesthetics?
Gold Bar Aesthetics is a modern, education focused medical aesthetics practice located in Columbus, Ohio. We specialize in enhancing natural features through intentional, personalized care that prioritizes long term results over trends.

Our services include Botox, dermal fillers, microneedling, and customized chemical peels. What truly sets us apart is our approach. Every client begins with an education first consultation where we take the time to understand facial anatomy, skin health, lifestyle, and long term goals. From there, we create thoughtful treatment plans designed to evolve with the client rather than focus on one off services.

We are known for refined, natural looking results and a highly personalized experience. Education is central to everything we do. Our clients leave not only looking refreshed, but feeling informed, confident, and empowered in their decisions.

From a brand perspective, we are most proud of the standard we have set. Gold Bar Aesthetics is not about quick fixes or overdone outcomes. It is about trust, transparency, and artistry. Every detail, from our space to our service philosophy, is intentional and designed to feel elevated yet welcoming.

A core part of our brand is the Gold Bar Society Membership, which was created to foster a sense of community rather than a transactional experience. We wanted our clients to feel connected, valued, and part of something beyond their appointments. The membership encourages consistency, education, and long term relationships while creating a space where clients feel supported throughout their aesthetic journey.

What we want readers to know most is that Gold Bar Aesthetics is a place where expertise meets integrity. Our goal is to enhance what is already there while building a community rooted in trust, education, and thoughtful care.

Are there any books, apps, podcasts or blogs that help you do your best?
I like to keep a balance between growth and lightness, and the resources I gravitate toward reflect that. I love podcasts like Giggly Squad, The Mel Robbins Podcast, The Toast, and The Skinny Confidential because they blend humor, motivation, wellness, and real conversations. They help me stay inspired while also reminding me not to take myself too seriously.

When it comes to books, The Gifts of Imperfection by Brené Brown has had a big impact on how I approach authenticity and leadership, Atomic Habits by James Clear has shaped the way I think about consistency and long term growth, and How to Giggle is a reminder to find joy and humor even while building something meaningful.

Together, these resources help me stay grounded, motivated, and balanced, which ultimately allows me to show up as my best self both personally and professionally.
