MEET THE FOUNDER
Hi, I’m Traci!
I am the founder and owner of Urbane Aesthetiks and Urbane Aesthetiks Academy; Master Injector and Injectable Trainer.
After graduating from Texas Woman's University with my Bachelor’s of Science in Nursing in 2000, I was immediately accepted into the highly competitive Parkland Nurse Internship program. I started working in the Trauma/Neuro ICU at Parkland Hospital, a Level 1 Trauma Center in Dallas. In 2001, I started my first company, Urbane Scrubs, while working full-time in the ICU. This was my first taste of entrepreneurship and I immediately fell in love with every aspect of being a business owner. Urbane Scrubs sold in 2003 to Landau, and I continued to enjoy bedside nursing in a variety of settings, including the recovery room, plastics, and the ICU. I also spent over a year as a PICC line nurse.
During this time, I also offered consulting for other companies, turned Pro in the NPC and offered personal training. I became a clinical cardiothoracic vascular clinical specialist and also got involved in medical sales as a clinical thoracic educator for a chest drain company. Here, I was thriving in a role that allowed me to educate and share my skills, which I loved!
As much as I enjoyed being in a hospital setting, my love for entrepreneurship led me to pursue direct sales in the health and wellness sector in 2010. I led a large team, spoke at national events, and learned daily about the inner workings of a successful business. Around this same time, I also received my first cosmetic injectable treatment, and my interest in the industry slowly began to take form. In 2013, I began learning and educating myself about the injectables and in 2014, I decided to take a leap of faith and opened my own med spa! Over the years, as my practice has evolved, I have continued to learn and grow. I carried my love for education with me into my new business: I fell in love early on with attending injectable trainings, and knew that I wanted to give back to the community by becoming a Master Injector and expert in this industry.
Working with students through Urbane Aesthetiks Academy is my newest focus and passion. I am working to transform the world of cosmetic injectables by offering training courses for beginner as well as advanced injectors. At UA Academy, we are creating a space for new injectors to ask questions, receive mentorship, engage in a dynamic community of like-minded professionals, and put their skills to use!
So, here I am, almost a decade later: a busy mom of two young girls, and Founder and Owner of Urbane Aesthetiks and Urbane Aesthetiks Academy! When I am not spending time with my family or running my business, I am deeply invested in growth and development and enjoy being an active part of the Dallas community. I am truly living my dream each and every day. I have the privilege of working with beautiful individuals and empowering them to take control of their lives and their well-being.

We pride ourselves in our healthy, balanced approach to aesthetics, and always seek to highlight each client’s unique beauty!
