Owner

Melissa Pineda

I am Army Veteran, Registered Nurse and Owner of Besos Aesthetics. I met my spouse while on Active duty 16 years ago in Germany! Together we have 3 beautiful children who keeps us on our toes. I graduated from the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor in 2018 with my Bachelors of Science in Nursing (BSN). From there I worked for the Central Texas Veterans Healthcare System as a Cardiac Nurse. My dream was to continue to help my fellow Veterans in a way that I was no longer able to after leaving the Army. Veterans and all of their sacrifices are something that I have always held close to my heart. Working through COVID showed me some dark times. Things that no one could possibly prepare you for. The hours were demanding and even harder on my family. That is when I decided to leave bedside all together.

Nursing is my passion. It’s who I am as a person. I pride myself in caring for others by showing both empathy and compassion. I dreamed of having a job one day that would allow me to share my love for nursing while allowing me flexibility with my family.

My goal for pursuing the aesthetic industry is to help people feel their best. Let’s be honest, we all stand a little taller, feel a little better and walk a little differently
when we look and feel “our best,” and that’s where I come in. Whatever your goals are, we can discuss and come up with a treatment plan, collectively.

Above all, none of this would have been possible without the love, support and encouragement from both my husband and mom. Together, they have pushed me to see my dreams through and have supported me every step of the way. There has been a lot of long hours, talks, construction, planning, and tears into this business from all parties. To my mom and husband, thank you for the unconditional love and support! I love you both more than I could ever possibly put into words.

To my clients! Thank you for your continued support. Without it, we wouldn’t be here! I cannot even begin to tell you how excited I am to see you guys, again! Your support is absolutely everything to us!
