With over 25 years of experience in advanced aesthetics, Missy brings a wealth of expertise and a genuine passion for skincare to her work. A Nashville native, she began her academic journey at Middle Tennessee State University, focusing on psychology and art—two fields that have deeply influenced her holistic approach to aesthetics. She earned her aesthetic license in 1998 from John Nave University of Cosmetology while working alongside top dermatologists in Nashville, gaining a deep understanding of both general and cosmetic dermatology.

Missy is a certified laser technician whose expertise has grown alongside the rapidly advancing cosmetic industry. Always eager to learn, she continues to expand her knowledge of new technologies and techniques to provide the best possible care for her clients. Over the years, she’s used her wide array of experiences to develop customized treatment plans that focus on achieving glowing, healthy skin. At Karee Hays Esthetics, Missy’s approach is all about education and personalization. She loves empowering her clients with the knowledge and tools they need to reach their skincare goals while boosting their confidence and self-esteem.

When Missy isn’t caring for clients, you’ll find her enjoying the outdoors, spending quality time with her family, or cuddling up with her beloved cats.
