Jamie Mortus
Clinical Coordinator
I have been a certified Medical Aesthetician for the past 10 years. I graduated from Paul Mitchell in Carrollton, Texas in 2007. I have had a passion for skin care since I was in my early teens and have always enjoyed giving friends and family member’s facials and recommending skin care products. I truly want all my patients to be informed and educated on how to maintain their skin at home with the proper regimen customized for them! It’s all about great brows, healthy skin, and a smile! In my spare time I love to run with my dog on different trails around Dallas. I am a trained contemporary ballet dancer and still have a passion for the art. I enjoy going to theater performances around the country to watch different styles of ballet.
Audrey Defferari
Cosmetic Injector
Growing up I always had a passion for the skincare industry. I loved experimenting with different skincare and beauty products. After graduating from Carrol High School, I attended Texas A&M University to pursue a bachelor’s in marketing. Shortly after graduating in 2015, I realized sitting at a desk all day was not 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. Shortly after graduating, I started at Le Beau Visage. After working alongside Dr. Riehs for 3+ years, I made the decision to pursue my education further to become a nurse. I am currently in nursing school to achieve my BSN while injecting here at Le Beau Visage. I love being a cosmetic injector, the art of injecting, patientcare, and educating patients on the importance of their skin. There is so much to learn in this industry and my goal is to provide our patients with an exclusive and outstanding experience using advanced technology and clinical expertise.

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.

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.
