Meet Mercedes, a Registered Nurse who embarked on her aesthetics journey in the fall of 2022. Her decision to join Smiley Aesthetics marked a pivotal turning point in her aesthetics career. With Smiley Aesthetics by her side, Mercedes could finally shift her focus to what she’s truly passionate about—injecting and providing exceptional client care. Smiley Aesthetics became her indispensable ally, sparing her the complexities of legal and business intricacies. The invaluable resources and unwavering support she found with Smiley Aesthetics were beyond what she could have hoped for.
“I started researching becoming a nurse injector while working as a nurse case manager. Prior to coming across Smiley Aesthetics website I felt like I really could not figure out how to break into the world of Aesthetics. It all seemed very confusing, complicated and quite frankly like no one wanted to share any info. From my very first interaction with Smiley that was the complete the opposite of what I experienced. I took my Basic Botox and Filler Course and before a month’s time I owned my own business as a nurse injector and was building my client base. I will not tell anyone it was an easy process because in no way was it but what I can tell you 100% is that I could not have done it without Smiley Aesthetics. As a nurse they spoke to several of the most important things to me – compliance, legality, and integrity. This guides everything they do and enabled me to feel confident in having them as my support system and resource when I need them. I honestly went into this endeavor thinking I could have myself a side hustle and at the 9-month mark of being an independent injector I had grown a clientele base of 160 clients and had reached $100K in gross sales. My next step was figuring out if I could quit my full-time job and turn my side hustle into my full-time job. I am so appreciative of Carla because she was there to walk me through this decision and help me see what I needed to do to ensure it was a wise decision. Another thing I love is the opportunity for continued education as well as all the knowledge that Mary shares constantly. She is a wealth of knowledge regarding aesthetics to have in your back pocket. Not only that, Mary will never stop encouraging you to train with some of the world’s greatest in aesthetics (not just herself or Smiley only) but she leads by example in taking trainings every year even though she is a trainer herself. Is there a perfect company out there? Absolutely not, and Smiley is no different, but they will do their very best to assist you in whatever way they can and to me that makes them the perfect fit”
