An Interview With Owners Shelly Baker and Jill Thompson

Shelly first opened the doors to Advanced Laser Clinic back in 2003 and Jill joined the team in 2018. Shelly and Jill reflect on the growth, the experiences, and the patients they adore.

Describe what your typical day looks like working here.

Shelly: “Patients always come first, paperwork always second, and I’m always behind.”

Jill has been in this business for over a decade now. Why do you enjoy what you do?

Jill: “My favorite part of esthetics is never getting bored. There are so many interesting things I get to do, and the industry and technology are always changing and improving. I also love helping people feel better about their skin. It’s very rewarding when you get awesome results.”

What do you want people to think of when they think of Advanced Laser Clinic?

Shelly: “My most important goal is to walk into the door and it’s homey and welcoming to not only myself, but all patients as well. And most of all, we’re honest—our integrity is very important to us. I just want them to feel important and that we really care about who they are and what problems they have no matter what it is.”

Jill is an Environ-certified professional. What makes these products so special?

Jill: “Environ is an extremely high-quality product that works. It’s scientifically-based and only uses the best quality ingredients. Put simply, Environ is results-oriented. The training and constant support we receive from Environ is invaluable to our business.”

What are your goals for the clinic?

Shelly: “The goal for the clinic is to keep growing, I want to see this business succeed because I know the benefits it gives to anyone who walks through the door. Whether they need laser hair removal for unwanted hair or sclerotherapy to treat spider veins, I know the treatments we perform make people feel better about themselves and we change peoples' lives.”

Does Jill use Environ products herself?

Jill: “I do, yes! I use them for just about everything. Before getting involved with Environ, I had no prior sales experience. Now, I have no trouble recommending Environ products to our clients because I truly believe in them. It’s not hard to sell a product when you’ve seen the results yourself, especially on your own skin.”

If you could go back and do it again would you still make the decision to open Advanced Laser Clinic?

Shelly: “Where I’m sitting at today, all these years later—definitely yes. I’ve loved every minute of it. I always tell my kids, or anybody else, it’s not about the money, it’s about loving what you do. And honestly, in all these years walking through the doors, there’s not one day I didn’t like being here. We love our patients.”
