Why does authority in medical aesthetics come from clinical outcomes, anatomical education, and consistent reputation rather than social media clout and vanity metrics?
In this episode, Leslie Tracey sits down with dear friend Simone “Queen” Steele, PA-C, MHS: Founder and CEO of Queen Aesthetics Wellness and Beauty Studio in Houston, Texas, national trainer, medspa consultant, and creator of Simply Shady Sunscreen. Simone shares her path from collegiate basketball captain and class president to surgical PA and aesthetic practice owner, and how leadership and high standards shape every part of her patient care.
Simone explains how she built a sustainable practice from the ground up, choosing “boots on the ground” community building over expensive, overpromised digital marketing. She walks through her patient-first consultation approach, why small-cohort training beats high-volume edutainment, and how she developed Simply Shady Sunscreen to address a gap in photoprotection for melanin-rich skin.
Together, Leslie and Simone discuss the danger of chasing trends in aesthetic medicine, the need to master cadaveric anatomy, and why competence must come before clout.
