Brandy King

Practice Manager

Originally hailing from the charming farmlands of Iowa, I grew up alongside 6 sisters and 2 brothers, surrounded by a menagerie of animals that instilled in me a love for family and life’s simple joys. My educational journey took me to Iowa State University, where I studied Finance and Fashion. During my time there, I had the opportunity to work in a salon and spa, which introduced me to the captivating world of aesthetics—a field that would eventually capture my heart. After graduating, I ventured to Chicago, Illinois, where I worked as a Real Estate Broker. However, my passion for the aesthetics industry was undeniable, and I knew my true calling lay in helping others enhance their beauty and confidence. My love for Nicholas Sparks’ novels inspired a visit to North Carolina, and the state’s charm and warmth instantly enchanted me. Today, I proudly reside in Greensboro with my hunky husband and our three wonderful children. 

We are a sports-loving family, actively participating in football, basketball, baseball, cheerleading, and weightlifting. With a blend of professionalism and passion, I strive to create a positive impact in the lives of those around me, embracing every moment with enthusiasm!
