Our Story
Pearl Aesthetics was originally started in Clarksville, Tennessee, after a friend of the Chandlers introduced them to the business side of aesthetics. They had always talked about one day becoming certified to be able to administer Botox, and then the opportunity had fallen into place. After looking for a place to call home, Pearl Aesthetics landed in CrossFit Sango, which paired their love of fitness and aesthetics with the strong community found in the gym. There, Ashleigh found that she was able to connect with the athletes and understand not only their fitness journey but how aesthetics would fit into their lifestyle and goals. At this location, Ashleigh was able to pay her training forward and train Cortney Z., RN, who then went on to establish Sango Aesthetics.
After finding a forever job in Springfield, MA, the Chandler's relocated to MA in 2022 and decided to bring Pearl Aesthetics with them. Fortunate to have found Melissa Sharkevich and the wonderful women of Mane @ Co. Hair Lounge, Pearl Aesthetics found its new home in Glastonbury Center and is happy to work as a sister company alongside Mane & Co.
