My entire experience was incredible! This was my first time getting any filler. Mercedes was very knowledgeable, and had such a warm and welcoming bedside manner. I expected to feel out of my comfort zone, but quickly felt like I was just hanging out with a group of my girlfriends. Everyone involved was very thorough while providing education and explaining techniques used throughout the procedures. Much to my surprise, it was nearly painless.. which could be attributed to the techniques and skill level demonstrated.. paired with the distraction of good company while having conversations throughout. I traveled to the training facility from Florida, and wish I could pack Mercedes in my suitcase to bring back with me. She is incredibly talented, and you can tell she has a passion and enjoys the work she does. I will definitely be making future trips to Nashville as an excuse to come back and find myself under her needles again. 😊

I recently attended training with another organization, and it truly made me appreciate the level of preparation and confidence I gained from my experience with Smiley Aesthetic Training. Mercedes has a way of teaching that not only covers the technical skills but also empowers you to feel ready to take on the aesthetic industry with confidence and clarity. Her approach is thorough, supportive, and genuinely inspiring. I can honestly say that I walked away from her training feeling capable and prepared to excel. I cant thank Mercedes enough. I highly recommend any new injector to use Mercedes for their training and furthering education.

The comprehensive education portal and textbooks required prior to the course and hands-on learning at the training were thorough, engaging, and enjoyable. After this course I truly feel prepared to perform these basic injections both technique-wise and safety-wise! Highly recommend this course to anyone with a desire to add aesthetic injections to their clinical practice.

I recommend smiley aesthetics for training! It was a great experience and learned a lot and got great hands on experience! Donna was a great instructor. If you're thinking of doing a class, I highly recommend!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I had the opportunity to be a lip model for Mercedes and it was an amazing experience! Even though I wasn’t taking the class myself, I learned so much just by listening. She’s very informative, professional, and pays close attention to detail, which made me feel super comfortable throughout the process. My lips are still healing, but I’m already so happy with the results! I really enjoyed the experience and would highly recommend Mercedes to anyone interested in lip fillers. You can tell she truly cares about her work and her clients. 📸 [Attached photo taken a few days post-procedure—healing in progress but already loving the shape and Volume!
