OUR STORY:

Brian, Lynn, and Selma, all met at a bustling aesthetic clinic years ago. United by a passion for providing quality care and spending meaningful time with patients, they often confided in each other about their frustrations with the clinic’s assembly-line approach. “Patients deserve better,” shaking their heads after another rushed appointment.

Though they pursued new opportunities, their bond remained strong. Fueled by shared dreams and countless cups of coffee in local library study room (whiteboards filled with colorful marks and notepad filled with passionate scribbles), VIVID Aesthetics & Wellness was born. It felt real, they felt alive. VIVID originates from the latin word “vivere”, which means “to live”. The name was a promise – a promise of long life, vibrant health, and personalized care.

Finding the perfect location was an adventure. The first two spaces felt sterile and uninviting. Then, on a sunny Halloween afternoon, they toured a third location. As they stepped out onto a charming patio, Lynn smiled. “This is it,” she announced, her voice filled with conviction. “This is VIVID.” The rest was history.
