Meet The Team

Kimbra Dafnis, LE, CLT

Founder, Licensed Aesthetician, Certified Laser Technician

Kimbra embarked on her career in the aesthetics industry in 2002, driven by her personal experience with hormonal breakouts and the transformative impact that skincare treatments had on both her appearance and well-being. With a diverse background in dermatology, day spas, and laser clinics, Kimbra opened her own skin studio in 2008, where she spent the next decade refining her skills and providing exceptional care to her clients. In 2018, she founded The Beauty Method, a result of her comprehensive expertise and dedication to creating a positive, nurturing environment for both clients and staff.

Kimbra’s detailed approach to aesthetics seamlessly combines advanced techniques with expert touch, crafting a dynamic client experience that produces exceptional, results-driven outcomes. Her commitment to innovation and integrity has cultivated a team that is passionate, collaborative, and dedicated to excellence. At The Beauty Method, clients can effortlessly integrate effective, results-driven treatments into their busy lives, all while experiencing a level of care that is as transformative as it is rejuvenating.

Kimbra’s Top 3 Beauty Methods for Healthy Skin

1. Double cleanse when you wash your face at night.

2. Invest in a professional line of skin care and don’t be afraid to occasionally switch up your products.

3. Enjoy a professional treatment every 4-6 weeks to make your at-home routine more effective.

Kimbra’s Daily Inspiration

My mom’s mantra is the best: “Stop and smell the roses. Take a minute out of your day and be thankful for what you have.” I find this especially important for women in today’s hectic world – allowing ourselves to take a moment alone to reflect, savor, and be thankful for our lives.

Kimbra’s Modern Lifestyle Self-Care Methods

“I have children, so my life is a very, very busy one. One of my biggest investments is in my skincare products–it’s my routine at home that maintains my skin when life gets super busy. I also love working out to relieve stress and taking weekend getaways with my family–it grounds me and keeps me connected to all the important pieces of my life.”

Trisha Horvath, MSN, RN, LE, CLT

Medical Aesthetic Registered Nurse

I’m Trisha Horvath, MSN, RN, LE, CLT—an Arizona native with 17 years of experience as a licensed aesthetician and certified laser technician, and 7 years as a skilled nurse injector.

My aesthetic journey began in 2008, earning my aesthetics license and laser certification. After a decade of mastering the art, I pursued nursing to expand my expertise and deliver more advanced treatments. In 2018, I graduated Summa Cum Laude with my BSN from Northern Arizona University and in 2024, earned my MSN with Distinction, as a Family Nurse Practitioner from The University of Phoenix.

My early nursing career in critical care, oncology, and hospice equipped me with a strong foundation in patient care. I transitioned to aesthetic medicine, working alongside top plastic surgeons specializing in reconstructive and cosmetic procedures. This experience honed my skills in neuromodulators, dermal fillers, biostimulators, PRP/PRF, PDO threads, microneedling, lasers, vaginal rejuvenation, and scar revisions.

Today, I provide personalized care at The Beauty Method and teach advanced injectables at The National Laser Institute. I stay at the forefront of aesthetics by attending multiple continuing education courses each year, ensuring my patients receive the most up-to-date treatments and techniques available.

My passion is helping clients feel confident in their own skin, approaching beauty from a full 360° perspective—enhancing skin quality, supporting deep structures, and creating natural, beautiful results, while incorporating preventative and treatment-based skincare. Combining expertise, safety, and compassion, I strive to deliver outcomes that empower and celebrate each individual.
