Marjori Pretti | Nurse Pretti
She never imagined she would end up in the world of aesthetics and cosmetics. While studying to become a nurse, she had a clear idea of what she wanted to do—save lives in a hospital setting. Her mother, an esthetician herself, often encouraged her to explore the field of aesthetics, but Marjori was focused on a very different path. She resisted those suggestions for a while, wanting to stay committed to traditional nursing. But everything changed when she finally gave in and decided to take just one course in aesthetics. That single class opened up an entirely new world for her, and she instantly fell in love with it. What started as a hesitant step quickly turned into a full-blown passion, and she realized that helping people feel confident in their own skin could be just as life-changing as traditional healthcare.
“Growth takes time, and no one becomes an expert overnight.”
The journey wasn’t just about learning techniques or understanding skin—it was about discovering a deeper connection between well-being and self-confidence. Inspired by her mother’s guidance and support, Marjori chose to pursue this career wholeheartedly. She saw the way her mom made people feel better about themselves, and it resonated with her own values as a caregiver. It wasn’t just about looking good; it was about feeling empowered, healed, and happy. Her mother had unknowingly planted the seed for Marjori’s future, and when it finally bloomed, it brought with it a strong sense of purpose.
As she gained experience in the aesthetics field, Marjori’s role evolved significantly. In the beginning, like many professionals starting out, she felt the pressure to do everything on her own. But over time, she learned a powerful lesson—success doesn’t come from working alone; it comes from building a strong, skilled team and trusting them. With that shift in mindset, she began embracing leadership not as a role of control, but as one of trust and collaboration. She saw firsthand how much more effective and joyful her work became when shared with a reliable team. This not only improved results for clients but also helped her avoid burnout, something that can happen even in a field as rewarding as aesthetics.
Her typical day reflects a blend of personal and professional dedication. Mornings start with her most important role—being a mom. She gets her kids ready for school, drops them off, and heads straight to her clinic. Once she arrives at work, the pace picks up fast. Every patient brings a different story and requires a different approach, which is one of the things Marjori loves most about her job. There’s never a dull moment, and the ever-changing nature of her work keeps her motivated and curious. The dynamic rhythm of her days keeps her excited to come to work, and the variety in treatments ensures she’s constantly learning and growing.
Throughout her career, Marjori has had several influential figures, but none quite like Dr. Russo. On her very first day of aesthetics training, Dr. Russo pulled her aside and told her she had a natural gift. That moment of encouragement stayed with her. It gave her the confidence to pursue aesthetics with her whole heart, and she remains grateful for his belief in her potential. That small gesture of support became a cornerstone in her journey, showing just how important mentorship and encouragement can be in shaping a professional’s path.
Being a woman in the aesthetic industry came with its own set of challenges. Early in her career, some patients were hesitant to trust her. Many of them were used to older male plastic surgeons, and seeing a younger woman in charge of their treatment plan made them wary at first. Marjori didn’t let that discourage her. Instead, she chose to let her work speak for itself. With every consultation and every procedure, she focused on building trust, listening to her patients, and delivering high-quality care. Slowly but surely, she turned skepticism into loyalty. Her professionalism, combined with her warm approach, won people over—and helped shift expectations within the industry.
“Being a leading woman in aesthetics means lifting up others, not competing with them.”
For Marjori, beauty isn’t just skin deep. She believes it begins from within and reflects the emotions, stories, and experiences a person carries. When meeting a new patient, she always starts with a consultation—not just to go over technical details, but to understand their “why.” There’s usually a personal reason behind someone’s decision to seek aesthetic treatments. It might be a fresh start after a divorce, the excitement of a new relationship, preparing for a big life event, or healing from grief. These personal stories help her connect with patients on a deeper level and guide her in creating treatment plans that not only enhance appearance but also nurture self-esteem. Her goal is always to highlight and celebrate what makes each person unique.
Marjori is especially excited about current advancements in regenerative treatments within the aesthetic world. She’s passionate about innovations like growth factor peptides, platelet-rich plasma (PRP), and bio collagen stimulants. These methods are designed to rejuvenate the skin from within, promoting natural healing and a fresher appearance without drastic alterations. She loves how these techniques align with her philosophy—helping people look their best while staying true to who they are. It’s not about transforming someone into a different version of themselves; it’s about helping them feel more confident in their own skin.
Staying updated in such a fast-moving industry is no small feat, but for Marjori, it’s something she genuinely enjoys. The world of aesthetics is constantly evolving, with new devices, techniques, and products emerging all the time. To stay ahead, she regularly attends conferences and participates in diverse courses throughout the year. These learning experiences keep her energized and inspired, allowing her to offer the best, most effective treatments to her clients. Learning isn’t just a necessity for her—it’s a passion. It fuels her creativity and keeps her practice fresh and forward-thinking. One simple beauty tip that Marjori swears by is never sleeping with makeup on. It might sound like basic advice, but she emphasizes how important it is for maintaining healthy skin. And no, she says—wipes don’t count. Proper cleansing is essential, and skipping that step can undo the effects of even the best skincare routines. For her, small habits like this one make a huge difference over time.
There are many myths surrounding the world of aesthetics, and Marjori Pretti is passionate about clearing them up. One of the most common misconceptions is that aesthetic treatments always lead to a “fake” or overly enhanced appearance. People often assume that everyone who undergoes these procedures ends up looking the same, but Marjori strongly disagrees. She believes that the key to successful aesthetic work lies in subtlety, balance, and a deep respect for natural beauty. In her opinion, a good injector should know when to say no. Not every treatment is right for every person, and part of being a skilled professional is guiding patients toward what will truly enhance their individual features rather than following trends blindly.
“Not every treatment is right for every person, and part of being skilled is knowing when to say no.”
Marjori’s goal has never been to transform her clients into someone unrecognizable. She wants people to look in the mirror and see a refreshed, confident version of themselves. Ideally, someone should look at her patients and simply think, “Wow, they look amazing,” without being able to pinpoint what’s changed. One of her favorite examples is supermodel Gisele Bündchen. Gisele always looks radiant and naturally beautiful, and that’s the kind of result Marjori aims for—beauty that feels effortless and authentic, not artificial or exaggerated.
Looking ahead, Marjori is excited about where the aesthetics industry is headed. She believes the future of aesthetics will go beyond injectables and lasers. It’s not just about fixing what’s on the surface; it’s about finding the root of the issue and starting the healing from within. She sees the field expanding into a more holistic direction, where practitioners focus on wellness, regeneration, and deeper healing. This approach will allow professionals to support their clients on both a physical and emotional level, offering more meaningful, lasting results.
For young women aspiring to enter the aesthetics field, Marjori offers honest and heartfelt advice. She knows how tough the beginning can be. The first year in particular is often full of financial strain, self-doubt, and slow progress. There’s pressure to build a client base, invest in training and products, and prove oneself in a highly competitive industry. But she encourages newcomers to be patient with themselves. Growth takes time, and no one becomes an expert overnight. Instead of trying to offer every treatment all at once, she suggests focusing on mastering one technique at a time. That way, skills can develop fully and confidence can grow naturally.
Another piece of advice she gives is to find a supportive environment. Being surrounded by encouraging colleagues can make all the difference. Learning alongside others, asking questions, and watching how experienced professionals handle challenges can be incredibly motivating. The journey may be long and sometimes discouraging, but staying committed and open to learning will eventually lead to success. Marjori emphasizes that setbacks are normal, but with time, persistence, and the right mindset, the rewards will come.
One of the most meaningful moments in Marjori’s career was when she opened a clinic alongside her mother, Zally, and her sister, Maylla. That achievement represented more than just a business venture—it was the realization of a family dream. Working with her loved ones and building something together from the ground up gave her a deep sense of pride. It was proof that with shared vision, hard work, and dedication, anything is possible. That milestone showed her the value of family, teamwork, and unity in both business and life.
Another unforgettable highlight was winning the Global Award Recognition in Aesthetics in 2024. For Marjori, the award wasn’t just about personal achievement—it was about validation and gratitude. Being recognized on a global stage felt surreal and humbling. It made her reflect on how far she had come, from being a reluctant student in her first aesthetics class to now being celebrated as a leader in the field. That moment reminded her that passion, persistence, and authenticity always shine through.
To Marjori, being a prominent woman in the aesthetics and cosmetics industry means much more than being skilled with a needle or staying up to date with the latest trends. It’s about leading with heart and lifting others up. She believes in creating a community of women who support and celebrate each other instead of competing against one another. When women come together and share their knowledge and encouragement, it creates an atmosphere of empowerment. That sense of sisterhood is something Marjori treasures deeply.
“Beauty should appear natural—people should just think, ‘They look fantastic,’ without knowing why.”
Her role also involves being a source of trust and honesty for her patients. She treats each person with care, like a friend or family member, always aiming to provide truthful guidance and genuine compassion. She sees every appointment not just as a task, but as an opportunity to make someone feel seen, heard, and valued. Whether someone is coming in for a small touch-up or a more complex treatment, Marjori makes sure they feel comfortable and understood. In her clinic, it’s never just about appearance—it’s about confidence, self-love, and healing.
Through her work, Marjori continues to redefine what it means to be beautiful. She reminds people that beauty doesn’t come from trying to look like someone else—it comes from embracing who they already are. And in every treatment, she performs, in every conversation she has, that belief is at the core. It’s what sets her apart and what makes her journey so meaningful—not just for her, but for everyone she touches through her work.
