Brandi

I’m glad you’re here to read a little about me. I’ve been in the industry for 13 years now and if I had to sum it up to be brief and not bore you I would say, I was born for this. I am passionate about every aspect of this industry from the basics of waxing to the intricacies of injections. It matters to me how someone is greeted at the door and the time spent at the check out counter and every single detail between. I started on the road, going home to home with pop-up equipment, to now having a staff of fifteen and over 3,000 sq ft to play in with some really awesome equipment I’ve worked so hard for over the years. My career in this industry began in 2012 when I decided to change the way I saw beauty and feeling good about myself by giving up tanning in UV beds. It seems ironic now how it has all unfolded but it has developed into so much more than I could have ever dreamt and I love it.

Beginning from early stages of research to obtaining certifications, and a bachelors in nursing to the doctorate I am seeking currently; I still have so much interest in this ever-growing industry and field of aesthetics, beauty, wellness and all that it encompasses. It’s like the gift that keeps on giving, and I am reaching for the stars. I’m often asked what started my career in aesthetics, and why nursing, and as cliché as it may sound I would say my mom. Observing her, learning her insecurities, being in the medical field herself, and a couple childhood accidents that landed me in a plastic surgeons chair snowballed into this perfect storm. I was able to marry together personal experiences, high expectations of my mother, competitive behavior and a passion and high interest for science and here I am. I’ve spent a lot of years learning and working, mostly relying on myself.

You’ll currently find me running the day-to-day and working on clients as an injector. I’ll also be working on personal things such as finishing school and growing my family when the time is right. I have a hardworking partner in life, Brian who is also a business owner and together we have a little girl, Beverly. I love being a mom, and have made many adjustments over the last couple years since her arrival to try and balance being a mom, a business owner, and a nurse injector.

I’ve appreciated so much the patience my clients have afforded me to transition to this role and I know it has been hard for some. I love what I do and will continue to strive for excellence, but now I have two babies, BASE, and my daughter and I love both dearly. I never thought BASE would become what it has, I am nowhere near done growing the business, and I am so thankful for that. While I am not working on the growth of this amazing place, you can find me relaxing at home, eating out (I especially love to take a foodie trip to Chicago), and driving around looking at real estate just for fun with my main squeeze Brian. I love to travel, spend time with my large family, and finding fun outings for my family on the weekends.

I can provide any service at BASE, except hair, that is a mystery to me for the most part. While I’ve evolved away from lashes and brows, as well as waxing and facials I do provide laser, injectables like filler, toxin and biostimulators, weight loss and vitamin injections, and comprehensive skincare regimens.

If I haven’t had a chance to meet you in my chair, I sure do hope you give BASE a try and look forward to you creating everlasting bonds with the amazing women who work at the spa!
