Hidden Gems: Meet Carol J. Dornelles of Skin from Brazil

Today we’d like to introduce you to Carol J. Dornelles.

Carol, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
My journey with Skin From Brazil started in a very humble way: from home. In the beginning, I focused on waxing and basic facials, and a lot of passion for helping people feel confident in their own skin.

As word spread, and client’s results started showing up, what started small quickly grew, and in 2023 I took the leap from a home-based setup to opening our storefront. That step allowed me to create a professional, welcoming space where clients could truly feel cared for.

Over time, our services have expanded. What began with waxing and facials has now evolved into premium waxing, advanced facials, and laser hair removal with state-of-the-art technology. Today, we proudly serve over 500 clients each month, and we’ve been honored with multiple recognitions, including Best of Georgia and Best Customer Service.

What I’m most proud of is not just the growth, but the trust our clients place in us. We’ve built a reputation for combining advanced techniques with a warm, personal touch. For me, it’s always been about more than skincare, it’s about helping people feel comfortable, confident, and celebrated in their own skin.

We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
It hasn’t always been a smooth road, but every challenge has shaped the business into what it is today. In the early days, working from home meant doing everything myself. From client care to managing supplies and keeping up with bookings. It was rewarding, but also overwhelming at times.

When I opened the storefront in October 2023, it was another big leap. Expanding into a larger space, taking on more clients, and building a strong team all came with new responsibilities. There were moments of uncertainty, especially with the financial risks and the pressure of making sure everything ran smoothly.

One of the biggest challenges has been educating people on the difference between basic services and the premium care we provide. Many clients are used to quick fixes, so part of my mission has been helping them understand the value of long-term results with advanced treatments.

Looking back, I’m proud of how far we’ve come in such a short time. In less than three years, we’ve grown from a small home-based setup to a full storefront serving over 500 clients every month and keeping 5 stars reviews. The growth hasn’t been easy, but it’s been incredibly rewarding, and I’m grateful for the trust and loyalty of our clients who continue to grow with us.

Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your business?
Skin From Brazil is a premier skincare and hair removal studio recognized for its commitment to quality, innovation, and client care. We specialize in premium waxing, advanced facials, and laser hair removal, offering services designed to deliver results while maintaining the highest standards of comfort and professionalism.

What truly sets our brand apart is our dedication to redefining the client experience. From the beginning, we’ve built a reputation for combining advanced techniques with a warm, approachable atmosphere. Our Lumenis Splendor X laser, the only one of its kind in Georgia, reflects our commitment to investing in cutting-edge technology to ensure safer, faster, and more effective treatments for all skin tones.

We are proud to serve over 500 clients each month, a milestone that speaks to the trust and loyalty of our community. Equally meaningful is the recognition we’ve received, including Best of Georgia and Best Customer Service awards, achievements that reflect both our technical excellence and the client-centered culture at the heart of our brand.

Beyond our services, Skin From Brazil stands as a brand rooted in empowerment, education, and inclusivity. With a multilingual team fluent in English, Spanish, and Portuguese, we welcome a diverse clientele and prioritize making every client feel seen, respected, and celebrated.

At its core, our brand is about more than beauty, it’s about confidence, self-care, and creating an elevated standard in the skincare industry.

What are your plans for the future?
Our long-term vision for Skin From Brazil is to become a leader in the skincare and hair removal industry, not only in Georgia but on a broader scale. We want to set the benchmark for what exceptional client care, advanced treatments, and inclusivity look like in this field.

One of our biggest goals is to change the culture of beauty services. Too often, the industry focuses on “in and out” treatments, fast but impersonal. At Skin From Brazil, we want to redefine that approach by creating an experience that is still efficient and time-conscious, but rooted in genuine care, comfort, and attention to detail. Clients deserve both speed and quality, and our mission is to prove they don’t have to choose between the two.

Looking ahead, we plan to expand into multiple locations, making our services more accessible while preserving the same level of excellence and warmth we’re known for. We also see opportunities to launch training and education programs to inspire and prepare the next generation of professionals in premium waxing, advanced facials, and laser hair removal.

As we grow, we’ll continue to invest in cutting-edge technology and advanced treatments, ensuring our clients always receive the best that the industry has to offer. Ultimately, our goal is to build a legacy brand that elevates standards, celebrates diversity, and reshapes the way people experience self-care.
