Hello, my name is Emily Shankle, and I’m the esthetician behind Simply Skin by Emily. I’m also a wife and mother of three, and a former medical assistant who discovered a deep passion for skincare.
The word simply is meaningful to me because for most of my life, I believed skincare was only for people with lots of time and money. That belief changed after my first facial with a wonderful esthetician in Baker City last year. I realized that even someone like me—busy, juggling a full life, and not always prioritizing my appearance—could care for their skin in a way that felt approachable and enjoyable.
After that experience, I made the decision to leave my role as a medical assistant and return to school to become an esthetician. Throughout this journey of becoming, I was met with nothing but kindness, and I’m deeply excited to give back to my community by providing services I have grown to truly love.
My message to my clients is simple: skincare doesn’t have to be overwhelming or out of reach. It can be effective, accessible, and even fun. I look forward to being part of your journey and hope to support and empower you as you care for your skin and body.
