When diagnosed with Breast Cancer in 2004, Sharon Keating decided to take her 30 years of experience in various aspects of health, wellness, beauty, and clinical research and put it to the test. She participated in a series of weekly healing sessions from Serenity Medical Health & Beauty Spa through massages, facials and other nurturing services to help her heal and deal with the stress of a cancer diagnosis and treatment.

She is an expert injector who has trained under the best plastic surgeons in Atlanta. She has also received certifications from Allergan, Galderma and Merz Aesthetics in advanced injection techniques for dermal fillers (Restylane and Voluma) and Sculptra to restore volume, lift cheeks and folds and minimize lines. Lip enhancement is a favorite technique to restore lip volume and youthfulness giving women that special feeling of femininity and confidence. Sharon loves injecting dermal fillers and neurotoxins and is passionate about the art of defining facial contours and youthfulness. “It’s all about lines and contours which generate the message -“youth”. Years are peeled away in one session. I love seeing my clients so happy when they look in the mirror!”

Desarae Valdez

Licensed esthetician

Growing up, this industry was always a passion of mine, and I always felt great joy providing my friends and family with all their beauty guru needs. That passion eventually blossomed into a career. In high school I struggled with my skin, and acne was my living nightmare. I tried everything. Cetaphil, Neutrogena, Seabreeze, Proactive, witch hazel and rubbing alcohol. and even the dermatologist at northside hospital, which resulted in reduced acne, but also chemical burns. (because the products were way too strong for my adolescent skin.) my face was constantly raw from the picking, popping and harsh damaging misguided efforts. As a last resort, my mother took me to get my first facial by an esthetician, resulting in the best skin of my life thus far. I remember vividly, getting a microdermabrasion and a chemical peel, all the same setting, and I was tearing up actually ( not a comfortable facial i should add). my poor mom asked me " how was your facial? " and I said through tears I was in pain and this lady was hurting me. but, I was so excited. I went home and laid out all my skin care products. Eager to start a new regime, that i just knew was going to work this time. and i was right. I had clear skin for about 3 months and my god I felt so beautiful and confident. and i thought to myself "this is it." that confidence I had, I want to give that to others. I feel lucky to have made my passion into a career. As a professional based in north Georgia, I’ve been helping clients look and feel their best since 2018. I have a strong skill set in eyelash extensions, acne and hyperpigmentation. What sets me apart, is the ease and comfortability of my services, as well as a full commitment to transparency, quality products, perfectionism, and professional-ish-ism. I hold my client relationships in high regard as they become part of my life and I become part of their journey and one of their biggest cheerleaders. If you have any questions about me, my services or the industry in general, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
