our team
STEPHANIE BRADY, RN, Aesthetic injector, owner
My name is Stephanie Brady, I have been a nurse for over 15 years and jumped into aesthetics and injectables about 5 years ago. I have always had a passion for all things beauty and an artistic eye, so naturally when I discovered aesthetic nursing I fell in complete LOVE!
In an effort to create an income with more flexible hours for my growing family I took a leap of faith and Southern Bloom Aesthetics was born.
It was my dream to create an environment that is calm, beautiful, peaceful and inviting where you can be yourself, be vulnerable, relax and receive natural, affordable anti-aging solutions. I love to help others especially women feel beautiful in their own skin!
Its important to me that at Southern Bloom Aesthetics you feel at home and like you are with a friend during your treatments. We have created a personal atmosphere where there is no intimidation or doctor office feel.
Safety and Education are also very important to me, we spend a lot of our days off and profit learning the newest and most effective treatments so that we can serve you in the best possible way and with the latest technology.
I am a local here in Mount Washington and love being a part of this community. I have been married for 9 years and have 4 small children that are my world.
I hope that you will trust me and Southern Bloom Aesthetics for all your beauty needs and experience the difference for yourself, we look forward to meeting you soon!
