My name is Shakiyah I am a licensed esthetician & the owner of KHLOÈ BELLA LLC. KHLOÈ BELLA LLC started as a hobby. This fun pass time activity of creating skin care regiments quickly turned into a business venture. Growing up with eczema I have always had a deep passion for natural products. Often times many products which were promoted to be top seller assist with my skin condition would not work. This caused me great alarm and ignited a passion within to create products that I was sure would work for me. During my pregnancy, I began to experiment with different formulas. This is when I created various products that could be used on myself and on my daughter as well. Time progressed and people began to request my products. It was in that moment I decided to shift my focus and start my very own all natural skin care line. As my clientele grew, people began to request treatment for many different skin conditions. I then decided to educate my myself so I can meet their needs. I enrolled in Aveda arts institute where I gained my esthetics license.
