The Importance of Nurse Injector Business Mentorship: How One Med Spa Found Clarity, Confidence, and Growth
From feeling stuck to scaling a profitable med spa, growth in aesthetics doesn’t just come from clinical skill, it comes from the right guidance, strategy, and support behind the scenes.
This is exactly what Kristina Tuttle and Keesha Watts, co-owners of Bon Bini Aesthetics, discovered through their journey inside the Injectables EDU Mentorship Program.
What began as a search for clarity around their next steps in business turned into a real growth story from the Injectables EDU Mentorship Program; one that reshaped how they think about revenue, leadership, and long-term sustainability as med spa owners. In this interview, they share what changed once they stepped into full-support mentorship, from unlocking new revenue streams like memberships to finally understanding their numbers in a way that made confident decision-making possible.
Their experience is a powerful example of what can happen when talented aesthetic providers move beyond doing the work in their business and start learning how to truly grow it.
How Nurse Injector Business Mentorship Turned Clinical Skills Into Confident Med Spa Ownership
Background and Beginning
Question: To start, can you tell us a little about where you were in your career before joining the Injectables EDU Mentorship Program?
Answer: We had been in business for three and a half years, had one FT esthetician and one PT RN injector. We felt confident in the skills we offer but we were stuck in how to grow and what our next moves should be. We also wanted to make sure that we started paying ourselves as well.
The Turning Point
Sometimes we think we know what we should be focusing on, but mentorship can reveal blind spots. Was there a moment where something clicked for you and changed how you approached your business?
Yes! Memberships!! We didn’t realize how creating memberships would help us have a consistent monthly revenue and it has made all the difference.
What started working after mentorship that wasn’t working before?
Memberships, completing the KPI sheet and utilizing business insights in Aesthetic Record.
The Full Support Package
What did “full support” look like for you inside the Mentorship Program?
Gaining access to experienced mentors made us not feel so alone. This industry doesn’t particularly like to share information with other providers. Being able to hop on Marco Polo and ask for advice provides a sense of security and means of having questions answered daily.
The accountability from the mentorship encouraged us to meet monthly to complete the homework and discuss business objectives. We realized without these monthly meetings, time gets away from us and communication is lost.
How did mentorship help you feel more confident taking big steps?
Having the support in our Marco Polo group gave us the confidence that we were making the right decisions and hearing their input. Watching other people making similar decisions encouraged us that we can do it too!
Business Growth and Strategy Wins
How did mentorship help you think differently about growing your business?
KPI sheets! Oh my goodness I cannot say enough about the value in learning about KPI and the importance of understanding and reviewing business insights. This was a HUGE pivotal moment for us to see all the numbers and how they impact our business. We were then able to use these numbers to figure out a W2 pay scale that we could afford that stayed within our margins. As medical professionals without a business degree we didn’t know the significance of revenue pie.
Looking back, what changes can you directly attribute to being in the Mentorship Program?
Clarity. I feel like we now have a grasp on what the business is and isn’t doing, and what it needs to do.
I’d also say it helped with organization. This year we have started having monthly staff meetings and this communication is welcomed by all. We even did a year-end evaluation to hear from our employees. And we are working on creating our own Employee Handbook.
Marketing, Branding, and Visibility Shifts
From a marketing standpoint, what strategies or guidance made the biggest impact for you?
New website! We learned how our website can be a clients first impression and we needed to re-do our basic, outdated website. Branding photos was another thing we did during mentorship that makes everything look way more professional on our website, social media and in-office materials.
How valuable was being surrounded by other injectors going through similar growth phases? Did peer conversations or shared experiences influence your decisions?
Absolutely. We have another Owner/Injector in our group that is in the same stage of her business as we are, so we love being able to bounce ideas around with her. We can also learn from each other’s mistakes.
Final Perspective
What would you say to someone trying to grow their aesthetics business without mentorship?
It is like walking in the dark alone. Just don’t do it! Our only regret is that we didn’t do it sooner!
