Yass Girl! 😂

Some people build successful businesses. Some inspire others to build their own. ✨

Meet Emily Clark, Visionary 2026.

Emily built ESTE Aesthetics at Sola Lakeview after leaving the traditional med spa world to create a business rooted in trust, education, and personalized care.

What started as a leap into independence has become a thriving business where clients feel seen, supported, and empowered throughout their skincare journey. But Emily’s impact extends beyond the treatment room.

Since opening her studio, she’s become a mentor and resource for estheticians considering a path of their own. Through guidance, encouragement, and transparency about the realities of entrepreneurship, she’s helping others realize that building a business on their own terms is possible.
Whether she’s educating clients, supporting fellow estheticians, or encouraging others to bet on themselves, Emily leads with purpose.

“If my journey inspires someone to take the leap, it’s all worth it.”

We’re proud to welcome Emily to the Faces of Sola Visionaries 2026 cohort. 💛
