About The Vanity Bar
We believe there’s nothing selfish about self-care. When you look your best you feel so much better and have a sense of self-confidence that nobody can take from you! That’s why it was so important to us to create a welcoming, social experience. This is a place where you can come on your own or with a friend, connect with other like-minded people, and take pride in a look that’s uniquely you. What we wanted to achieve with The Vanity Bar is an experience that is tailored and hyper-focused to treatments and products that are results-based.
Amazing long-term results don’t happen in one appointment. The best way to get that glowing skin of your dreams is by investing in a consistent regimen and treatment plan. That’s why we offer a thorough consultation where we review your medical history, discuss your treatment & skincare goals, treatment downtime, as well as financing options to provide you with a truly customized treatment plan to set you up for success. We don’t ever want to change you, we want to help you put your best self forward.
Our specialized team highly values continued education, training, and safety. We are consistently collaborating to make The Vanity Bar experience the best it can be for all of our clients.

HOLLY
-
Holly started her career out in retail, working her way up to assisting and managing. After an extensive run with that and a couple of moves later, she discovered an interest in healthcare. She worked in Senior Living as a Medication Aide, and transitioned into the administrative side of things when she received an opportunity to work for an orthodontist office.
Skincare and beauty have always been a hobby and passion of hers so when the opportunity to combine that with her love of healthcare presented itself, The Vanity Bar was the perfect fit and she has been here since day 1.
In her spare time she enjoys traveling, being a foodie, gardening and taking care of her large collection of houseplants, spending time with her family and furbabies, poking around little local shops, and is always searching for that perfect cup of coffee.
Her favorite part about working at The Vanity Bar is hands-down helping everyone who walks in feel beautiful in their own skin! It's so important to love yourself and when you feel good that's an amazing first step.

KENNA
-
Originally from Minot, ND Kenna moved to Fargo in 2019 after graduating high school. Prior to Esthetician school, she was working as a CNA/CMA and Pharmacy Technician. She has always had a huge love for helping people, especially helping them feel and look their best! Helping people love what they see in the mirror is one of the most fulfilling things.
Growing up dealing with acne, she truly understands what it is like to feel defeated with your skin. Going to the store and seeing the overwhelming amount of skincare and not knowing what to pick doesn’t make it easier. These experiences are when she decided to go to Esthetician school, graduating in 2024. While there, she learned so much about herself and it was just the beginning of her love for skincare.
She truly believes that when you look good you feel good. Her goal will always be to make you feel amazing and not so stressed when it comes to your skin. Let’s be real, we’re all so busy with our lives that skincare can get pushed to the back burner and that’s what she wants to be there for - let her take all the stress of skincare away and come relax and be your best self.
When she’s not working she loves to read, go shopping and travel with her Hubby. She’s a huge dog and cat lover, and also loves true crime and any type of documentaries.
