Our story, from Tracey's first laser to 20 years in Hickory

  1. An aesthetic laser handpiece resting on white linen

    2004

    A nurse learns the light

    After years in neurosurgery, case management and travel nursing, Tracey Bare, RN, wanted more time with her young children. She joined a physician offering laser skin services and spent more than a year mastering how lasers correct skin concerns.

  2. The La Bella Donna Spa building at 1208 N Center St in Hickory

    2006

    La Bella Donna opens

    In June 2006, Tracey opened La Bella Donna on North Center Street with one promise: confidential, individualized skin care with safe, natural results. No high pressure. No one-size-fits-all.

  3. The La Bella Donna team raising a champagne toast to 20 years

    2026

    Twenty years of Hickory faces

    Two decades later, clients drive in from across the state line to see the same team. In May 2026 La Bella Donna celebrated 20 years and landed the cover of Hickory Living.

As seen on the cover

Hickory Living, May 2026

Twenty years of dedication to enhancing natural beauty.

Hickory Living featured Tracey and the team for our 20th anniversary, from her start in medical lasers in 2004 to the menopause wellness consultations she offers today. The heart of the story is her philosophy: if anyone can point out that you had something done, the job was not done right.

“Hydrafacial is a game changer in facial care. I'm 62 and have had monthly facials with Kim for at least 12 years and made the switch to hydrafacials when she introduced them over 5 years ago. I am not exaggerating when I say that each time I leave my appointment, I am complimented by someone - including strangers! - about my smooth skin and 'glow'.”
Diane M. · HydraFacial
“I have been a client of La Bella Donna for years. Kim and Tracy are amazing. Both very kind, knowledgeable and professional. They care about each client and their experience. You know when you see Kim for a facial that it will be the most relaxing experience. Tracy is amazing with injections, laser treatments and eyebrow tattoos. I recommend them to anyone who asks me.”

You can openly discuss your concerns and trust you will get the best advice.”

Cheers to 20 years

A celebration on North Center Street

In May 2026 we threw a party for the clients who made it all possible: a flower bar, wood-fired pizza and plenty of champagne on the lawn. The wind ran off with a few balloons, but nobody minded.

Every November we do it again at our Holiday Open House with free gift bags, raffles and our best savings of the year.

Still wondering? Call Kim at (828) 267-7263.

What is a med spa?

A med spa combines the relaxing feel of a day spa with medical-grade treatments like Botox, fillers and lasers, performed by licensed medical professionals. At La Bella Donna, treatments are performed by a registered nurse under the direction of our medical director, Dr. Lisa Caporossi.

How much does a consultation cost?

Consultations are $50. Tracey assesses your skin, talks through your goals and builds a personal treatment plan. The fee is applied to a same-day or future treatment.

Where is La Bella Donna Spa located?

We are at 1208 N Center St, Hickory, NC 28601, on North Center Street just north of downtown Hickory, with easy parking and a wheelchair accessible entrance.

What are your hours?

Monday through Wednesday and Friday from 9 AM to 2 PM, and Thursday from 9 AM to 6 PM. Appointments are required, so please call ahead.

Do you treat men?

Yes. Many of our clients are men, often first referred by a wife or partner, who come back once they see the results for themselves.

Do you have events or specials?

Every November we host a Holiday Open House with free gift bags, raffles and our best savings of the year on lasers, injectables and esthetics. Follow us on Facebook for dates.
