ABOUT
Experienced aesthetic practitioners and female business owners Haley Wood and Dawn Sagrillo recognized a void in leadership teaching of best business practices in the non-surgical aesthetic industry.
Being longtime nursing colleagues, as well as expert non-surgical aesthetic injection specialists, trainers, and educators, Haley and Dawn were flying home together from an aesthetic advisory board meeting and discovered their mutual interests in helping others with the best business and aesthetic practice principles.
A team of twelve collegial aesthetic practitioner business owners and like-minded entrepreneurial injection specialists were strategically hand-selected to form the Aesthetic MasterMinds Board of Directors. All our MasterMinds bring a unique perspective, experience, and area of expertise that is shared with our event participants along with other industry experts.
