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!

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.

Transplanted to Texas in 1996 by my husband’s job transferred, 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.

I’ve been a loyal patient of Dr. Riehs since 2009. Working at Le Beau Visage Medical Spa has been a wonderful opportunity to see the inner workings of my favorite place to be! I have always believed in hard work with a smile and at Le Beau Visage you will find that to be true. I have worked hard myself over the years in management and most recently became a retired teacher. Being a lifelong learner, I love that I am growing my knowledge in this field of aesthetic beauty. My husband of 36 years, along with my 3 children and 3 grandchildren keep me young at heart while Dr. Riehs and his staff work on the rest!
Shelly Gillert
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.

I have practiced as an esthetician for the fifteen year and have primarily worked for physician performing microdermabrasions, peels and laser treatments. I started my career in aesthetics as a professional make-up artist, servicing brides for portraits and wedding events and clients for photo-shoots.

I love performing chemical peels and using my laser skills to help patients achieve better skin health.
I am the proud mother of a 23 year old son, who is currently servicing our country in the U.S. Navy. I have two additional loves in my life…my dear dogs. In my spare time, I enjoy attending concerts and spending time with my animals!

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.
