Name: Kimberly Eckles
Age: hmmm, any guesses? 😉
Title: Owner/Operator of Kimberly’s Facial Boutique
Married/Single: in love with life… but waiting on that special someone.
Kids: a wonderful grown daughter that I couldn’t be more proud of.
City you live in: beautiful Scottsdale.
A typical day in my life includes…
waking up early, reading my devotional, walking my sweet dog “Baxter,” working out at Reformed Pilates, and then enjoying a rewarding day pampering my clients.
I was born…
although born in Ohio, my family moved to AZ when I was very young, so I consider myself an Arizona girl! I do have midwestern work ethics though!
My favorite things about Arizona…
the sunshine, the variety our state has to offer from the mountains to the lakes and everything in between. I love the cleanliness of our city and well-groomed neighborhoods.
I’m listening to…
chill music. I love the cool vibe of this style of music and play it in my salon all day, every day.
My family…
is very important to me. Although we are small in numbers, we are tight-knit and always there for each other.
If I could have dinner with anyone, it would be…
Elizabeth Arden because we share the same passion for wanting to make women feel beautiful about themselves. I love how she was an entrepreneur in a time when women weren’t in the work force. She was very ambitious to develop her own Elizabeth Arden Facial Massage Technique. This is the most effective facial manipulation, which brings out one’s natural beauty and energy. This technique has not been taught since 1992, so I feel blessed to be able to share it with my clients.
One thing I cannot live without…
one? How about three…Pilates, lip-gloss and my hair clip…LOL.
When I was younger, I wanted to be…
a fashion merchandiser.
I’m inspired by…
my Christian faith.
The one person who motivates me is…
as an entrepreneur, I learned long ago not to depend on anyone but myself for motivation. My motivation truly comes from deep within me, and it drives me to be my best in everything I do.
If I could change anything in the world, it would be…
one world unity where everyone lives in harmony.
The perfect day would be…
waking up leisurely, working out and then either spending time volunteering or getting pampered at a spa – both nourish my soul. I’d end the day enjoying a wonderful meal with someone special.
My first job was…
as a waitress at a coffee shop. It was there that I learned how to serve my customers and make sure they left happy.
My favorite escape…
I have many favorite escapes but one I love very much is Telluride, Colorado in the summer. It’s a beautiful, tranquil place that offers great hiking, four-wheel driving trails and wonderful cuisine. I love Telluride’s friendly people and fresh air.
My life…
has had bittersweet moments, but I’ve gained so much wisdom and appreciation for the precious life I live and I’m thankful for all the blessings it has filled me with.
I’m currently working on…
my third skin-care product in Kimberly’s Skin-Care Collection. It’s called “Heavenly Cream.” I can’t wait to complete my trio of products: Faithful Cleanser, Miraculous Masque and now my Heavenly Cream.
Always…
I always try to live by the Golden Rule and do right by those I come in contact with.
Never…
say NEVER.
Favorite Quote…
“As you sow, so shall you reap”.
Biggest dream…
I learned Elizabeth Arden’s advanced technique in New York years ago. I have been perfecting it ever since and it has become my own. I’ve even coined the phrase ‘The Kimberlique Technique’ to describe it! Since her process is no longer being taught, my biggest dream is to revive it through this evolution. My goal is to teach fellow Aestheticians from around the world the Kimberlique Technique so they can gain a loyal clientele by embracing the massage technique used in a luxury European facial.
Pet Peeve(s)…
when people aren’t truthful and don’t follow through with what they say they’re going to do.
More about Kimberly…
I began my career as an aesthetician over 25 years ago after receiving advanced training at the world-renowned Elizabeth Arden Salon in NYC. After working at some of Arizona’s most prestigious spas, including Maine Chance and The Spa at Camelback Inn, I opened Kimberly’s Facial Boutique 16 years ago, so I could focus on providing outstanding treatments while utilizing the highest quality products. I consider myself lucky to have discovered my passion so early in life and have continued to refine and perfect my skills ever since.
In addition to my Signature Facial, European facials and several other treatment choices, I offer an array of specialty services including those that focus on graceful and natural aging including oxygen treatments, microcurrent, LED light therapy and microneedling. Realizing that each client has unique needs and concerns, I customize their facial treatments to bring out their most beautiful features. I have always strived to help my clients achieve their skin care goals and consider it an honor that they trust me to help them put their best face forward. It gives me great satisfaction knowing that I’m changing the world one face at a time.
