We had the good fortune of connecting with Tish Gardener and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Tish, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
Growing up in the vibrant atmosphere of South Florida, where beauty is not just admired but almost a way of life, I found myself drawn to the world of makeup, glamour, and self-presentation from a young age. Opportunities to delve into this realm seemed elusive. Rejection followed every attempt I made to secure a position in aesthetic clinics, leaving me disheartened, and almost wanting to give up.

During a casual conversation with a former colleague at the hospital where I used to work, she mentioned her part-time position in aesthetics. As I learned the nuances of aesthetics, I became increasingly aware of its complexities, competitiveness, and the limited opportunities available. This prompted me to chart my own course into the field, with the aim of not only creating opportunities for myself but also for others who want to work in aesthetics.

 

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
In our modern world, the desire to look and feel our best is a universal aspiration. While aging is inevitable, we strive to maintain our appearance using the tools available to us. As an aesthetic practitioner, my approach revolves around individualized care, acknowledging each person’s unique concerns and desires for improvement.

Central to my practice is the thorough consultation process. I take the time to listen attentively to my clients, understanding their specific areas of concern and articulating the potential risks and benefits of any procedure. Education is paramount; I ensure my clients are well-informed, setting realistic expectations for their journey towards enhancement.

My injection technique is finely tuned to each individual’s facial characteristics, addressing volume loss and aligning with their anticipated outcomes. Through training in various countries, I’ve assimilated a diverse range of techniques into my practice, constantly evolving to deliver optimal results.

My philosophy is rooted in the pursuit of natural-looking enhancements. I eschew excessive treatments, instead focusing on accentuating the inherent beauty of my clients. While aesthetic trends may shift, my priority remains unwavering – the safety and well-being of those under my care. It is this commitment to integrity that fosters the trust of my clients, a trust I hold in the highest regard.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
I am definitley an outdoorsy person; so of course I would recommend The Beltline, riding bikes or going for a walk. I love being in nature so anyone of the beautiful parks in Atlanta. I am a huge fan of Caribbean Food and Spanish Tapas so we would check out one of those places. Must do a weekend brunch. Honestly, one week in Atlanta is not enough time to enjoy the city.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I attribute much of my journey to the unwavering support of those closest to me. First and foremost, my gratitude extends to my best friend whose belief in my abilities and unwavering encouragement provided the initial spark of confidence that propelled me forward.

My friends and family have also played an instrumental role, graciously volunteering as practice patients as I honed my skills. Their willingness to trust me, even when the outcomes were uncertain, speaks volumes about the depth of our relationships and their belief in my potential.

Furthermore, I am grateful for the guidance and support provided by my mentor whose extensive experience spanning 15 years in the industry has been an invaluable source of wisdom and guidance.
