Audrey Defferari
Clinical Coordinator
I grew up in Southlake, Texas where I always had a passion for the beauty industry. I loved experimenting with makeup and taking care of my skin. After graduating from Carrol High School, I attended Texas A&M University to pursue my degree in marketing. Shortly after graduating with my bachelor’s degree in 2015, I realized sitting at a desk all day wasn’t for me. That is when I decided to make my passion in skincare a career. I attended esthetician school at Steiner Institute and graduated in 2016. Not long after was when I started here at Le Beau Visage. I love being an esthetician, treating patients, and teaching others about their skin. There is so much to learn in this industry and my goal is to absorb all the knowledge and give back to my patients. Thanks and Gig’Em!

Medical Aesthetician
I am a seasoned aesthetician with over 30 years of practice and patient expertise. Over the years, I have worked in all different areas of the industry beginning with my start as a makeup artist at Bloomingdales. From there, I started performing spa facials and eventually went further into the industry by performing Laser Hair Removal treatments when they were first introduced to the market. I later went on to become Lead Aesthetician and eventually Spa Director. Over the past decade, I have been an instructor to Doctors, Nurses, and Aestheticians alike on how to perform various procedures related to the market including: facials, medical microdermabrasions, chemical peels and laser services, just to name a few. I love being an aesthetician and having the ability to mentor and educate anyone and everyone with a desire on proper skin care and maintenance to help achieve in putting their “best face forward”. In the past few years, I have also been involved in the creation of a medical skin care line to emphasize my passion on product education in what is being put on your skin! In my personal time I love spending time with my family, going to the lake, biking, swimming, and cooking.

I am a small-town girl from a little town in central Texas. I graduated Cum Laude from Texas Woman’s University in December of 2017 with a Bachelor of Business Administration and a minor in Management. I also recently completed the graduate program at Texas Woman’s University where I earned a double Master’s degree in Business Administration and Healthcare Systems Management. With over 5 years of experience in the healthcare industry, I have developed a passion for patient care and workplace culture. When I met Dr. Riehs and his team, I knew immediately that they all shared those same values and that Le Beau Visage was where I was meant to be! In my free time, I enjoy weight training and spending time with my family and rescue pups, Duke and Saige.
Monet Thompson
Front Office
Transplanted to Texas in 1996 by my husband’s job transfer, I have two sons who are both in college. Once our nest was empty, I decided to pursue a job in the health care field. I obtained my Medical Secretary Certificate from Collin College in 2014. I am also a Certified Administrative Health Assistant with the National Association for Health Professionals scoring a 96% on the exam. Dr. Riehs’ mission statement of providing an outstanding patient experience resonated with me and I strive to make that happen. In addition to travelling with my husband, I enjoy reading, gardening, exercising and my delightful Yorkie, Scooter.
Shelly Gillert
Front Office Coordinator
Originally from Canada, you will never hear me complain about the hot Texas weather! Married with two teenage sons, we prefer to visit the Great White North during the summer months now. I discovered Le Beau Visage 5 years ago as a new patient. Dr. Riehs and the staff started me on a skin regimen of regular micros and products that helped transform my acne prone, aging skin. After seeing the difference it made to my skin in just a matter of months, I have followed Dr. Riehs’ advice ever since. Having worked in the medical industry for over 6 years, it was an easy decision in February 2016, to transition from patient at Le Beau Visage to staff member. When I am not working, you can usually find me out on a tennis court with my husband, doing Cross-Fit, or spending time with my sons.

Renee Harless
Medical Aesthetician
I’ve had a passion for esthetics long before I knew what the word meant. From a very young age, I did makeup for family and friends for special occasions. After becoming a makeup artist for a photo studio in 1997 I realized that this is what I was meant to do. Since 1997 I have worked as an independent makeup artist providing on-site makeup services for bridal parties, proms, and other special occasions. In 2002 I attended the Aveda Institute in Houston where I earned my Esthetics license. While in school, I discovered that I love skincare just as much as I love makeup. I love being able to educate people on how to take care of their skin and to look and feel their best. Right out of school I went to work for a spa in Kingwood, TX. where I worked for many years. I earned my Laser Tech certification at the Dallas National Laser Institute in 2016. I have lived in North Texas for the last 10 years with my husband, children, and our Goldendoodle, Roxy. I enjoy spending time with family and friends, crafting, and of course makeup and skincare.
