Sam Zbikowski
Owner/Advanced Esthetician
Hi there! My name is Sam Zbikowski. I am a Board Certified Advanced Esthetician with a focus in holistic skincare and wellness, brow and lash specialist, and the owner of Dahlia Beauty Bar and Dahlia Skincare.
I have been practicing esthetics since 2015 and am most passionate about enhancing natural beauty with the highest quality, non-toxic treatments available. I believe in taking a more holistic approach to skincare by using products that are pure, safe, and natural, which is why we proudly use Botnia Skincare to create custom treatments for our guests using the power of plants and a variety of holistic modalities, such as gua sha and facial cupping, during our treatments. I understand that no two individuals are the same and highly enjoy creating custom skin regimens and brow and lash maps that effectively target each area of concern, boost confidence, or simply help to slow down and relax.
My vision with Dahlia was to create a warm, earthy space where all feel welcome, loved, and at peace while receiving intentional treatments. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for stopping by ♡
Outside of the shop, you will find me spending most of my time with my partner, Erik and our two rescue pups, Carlos and Lola. It is no surprise that I love all things natural skincare, spending time outdoors connecting with nature, and that I am an avid plant and crystal collector, and an advocate for the earth and animals.
Emma Salazar
Advanced Esthetician
My name is Emma Salazar. I am a Board Certified Licensed Advanced Esthetician est. 2018, specializing in Plant-Based Facials, including Dermaplaning, Eyebrow Waxing/Threading/Color, and Lash Lifting.
My clients can expect to have my undivided attention, a safe space to relax and consistent results. I enjoy having an on-going relationship with my clients, my clients can always reach out to me for advice. I consider myself a Brow Aficionado, working with Benefit Cosmetics for over 2 years gave me extensive knowledge on Brow Shaping and Color Theory. My philosophy in Esthetics has an emphasis on natural and clean beauty products, age-embracing, hydration and healing above all. I believe your skin has to have a healthy foundation before it will accept any treatment, so I start there and build your service tailored to your skin-care needs.
My goal in life is to be peaceful and happy. I think it’s important to embrace our quirks and imperfections and remind ourselves that we are beautiful as we are. I believe that self-care is key. For some people that’s alone time relaxing, spending time with friends, reading, exercising or sleeping. My favorite form of self-care is my skin care and beauty routine. I believe I am healing myself from the inside out. Outside of Dahlia, I love spending time with my husband, fur babies, family & friends. I enjoy traveling, music, video games, art, animals and all things beauty related!
Julie Spears
Vibrational Sound Therapist
Hello, I’m Julie! I own Welcome OM Sound Healing & Wellness located within Dahlia Beauty Bar. I’m here to meet you exactly where you are to facilitate change and healing from a core level and help you bring the most vibrant version of yourself to the surface. I’m also here to show you that you don’t need to be “fixed”, and that everything you need is already inside of yourself. My focus is on helping you gain the knowledge, support, and tools you need in order to feel confident about your physical, mental, and emotional health.
We do this by kindling the natural healing ability of your body, mind, and spirit, addressing issues from their root cause to result in a more balanced life. I offer a holistic approach through a blend of energy medicine using tuning forks, sound healing with crystal and Tibetan therapeutic bowls, gongs, and other sound tools, as well as aromatherapy, and the use of crystals which can either be combined or used individually, depending on an individual’s needs. I am a Certified Vibrational Sound Therapist, Reiki Master, Certified Aromatherapist, and Certified RYT-200 Yoga Instructor passionate about cultivating holistic wellness through plant-based eating, mindful movement, and meditation. I offer Energy Treatments & Chakra Balancing using Crystal bowls, Himalayan metal therapeutic bowls, gongs, chimes, crystal pyramids, and tuning forks as well as other sound tools. I am also a graduate of eCornell University with a certificate in Plant-Based Nutrition. I invite you to look around and see what treatments you could benefit from, realizing that we need to present the best version of ourselves to us personally, but also to our loved ones and those around us. Namaste!
