Meet Skyler Soares of The Injection Academy

Today we’d like to introduce you to Skyler Soares.

Hi Skyler, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
The truth is (and it may sound cheeseball) but everything in my life has led me to this exact moment. Here, with you. When I was 15 years old, I snagged my first job working in the beauty department of a drug store. You would have found me rummaging the aisles, perusing creams and serums, taking note of all the ingredients.

Fast forward to 22-year-old Skyler. I moved to LA because let’s be real, that’s where dreams come true (or so, what we think at that age of life). One day as I was driving the streets of LA, with my face pounding with rather frustrating acne, and the stars aligned. Ahead of me was a beauty school. I decided in that moment that I was to become the esthetician next door. Like Jennifer Aniston, but the kind that cures your face of acne and pokes away the pug foreheads.

After school, I worked for a Dermatology practice and trained with an amazing doctor and nurse who taught me everything they knew. Injectables became my passion and schooling, my obsession. I knew in order to be the best professional I could be, I needed a bit more info in my pocket. Next came Nursing school, which took me to my desert home now, Arizona.

When I’m not training soon to be injectors/estheticians or working with my clients to achieve their most natural, “slept in” look, you can find me doing yoga, trying new restaurants and camping with my dog Charles and the hub’s Braden.

Here’s the thing, at the end of the day, my name will be on your face (not technically of course), but I want my work, and more importantly, your investment, to be restorative. That, ‘I just had a week vacation look.’

Although I’ve been working in the aesthetic industry for over 12 years, each quarter you’ll find me at a new training opportunity. Because as a professional in this business, I want to continue evolving, learning and gaining the best possible education for you, my clients, my fellow injectors, estheticians and those looking to find their next big leap in this wild world.

I’m sure you wouldn’t say it’s been obstacle free, but so far would you say the journey have been a fairly smooth road?
No! People tell me I couldn’t, wouldn’t, etc. Not believing in myself, trouble with balancing school, multiple jobs, husband in the military (alone a lot). Nursing school was hard, I don’t do well with trauma, death, etc., so nursing school clinicals were so hard for me. Lots of crying

Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your business?
I am a new female business owner, my passion is aesthetics and helping my patients feel their best. I am not a pushy injector, I truly believe everyone is beautiful and we only need to highlight that never change anyone’s look. I feel for each and every one of my patients as if they are my friends and family. I also mentor my students and currently employ three nurses who took my training because I believe everyone just needs that one chance to chase their dreams! I was given mine and I want to pay it back.

Can you talk to us about how you think about risk?
When Covid hit, I had no savings and was so scared to make this new biz jump, a friend told me “you must burn the boats to seize the island” I didn’t know what he meant at the time but now it all makes perfect sense. Keeping my previous job was a crutch and never fully allowed me to fly. I had so much doubt and questions, fear…. and now after taking that leap of faith, here we are!
