The Team
Who We Are
Pearl Aesthetics was originally founded in Clarksville, Tennessee. In 2022, the Chandler's relocated to New England and brought 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. While in Connecticut, we have gratefully expanded our service line to move past just neuromodulators and lip filler to include regenerative treatments such as Sculptra, microneedling, joint regeneration, vitamin injections, medical weight loss as well as energy-based treatments with the addition of our laser. There are plans to continue rolling out in the regenerative medicine and longevity spheres, where our true passion lies.
