For Kristina, aesthetics is not just a specialty. It is personal.

Her journey into this field began with her own struggle with acne and the impact it had on her confidence. Experiencing firsthand the transformation that comes from effective skincare and aesthetic treatment is what drew her from primary care into aesthetics, and it is what continues to drive her work every day. Kristina specializes in neurotoxin treatments and mid-face filler, known for a natural, facial balancing approach that enhances each patient’s features while preserving what makes them uniquely themselves.

Tammy Tran, LME

Aesthetician and PMU Artist, Arvé Aesthetics

Tammy Tran is an Aesthetician and PMU Artist at Arvé Aesthetics, bringing over 12 years of experience in the beauty industry and a genuine passion for helping people feel confident in their own skin. Her journey began with nails, lashes, and brows, where she quickly discovered her true calling: enhancing natural beauty in ways that feel effortless, refined, and uniquely personal. She believes beauty should never feel overdone, but rather like a more polished version of what already exists.

Among her favorite treatments at Arvé are PRP and IV therapy, a combination that reflects her philosophy of treating beauty from the inside out. She loves pairing internal wellness with external care to help patients feel their absolute best at every level. IV therapy is joining the Arvé menu soon, and Tammy could not be more excited to bring that dimension of care to her patients.

Tammy’s path to Arvé is one of those stories that feels a little like fate. She previously owned a nail studio on Laurens Road, which happened to share a building with Dr. Laterza’s former office. A simple connection between neighbors grew into a meaningful professional relationship, and eventually brought Tammy into the Arvé family.

Originally from Vietnam, Tammy brings warmth, artistry, and a deeply personal touch to every client experience. Outside of work, she loves traveling, spending time with her family, and making memories with her children whether that means hiking or a fun day out together. One of her favorite local spots is Unity Park, where weekends are well spent.

Beauty Tip: True beauty starts from within. Nourish your body, protect your skin, and invest in consistency.

Fun Fact: While Tammy is known for her warmth and ease with people, she has a quiet, introspective side and genuinely values moments of solitude to recharge.

Amy Head, LME

Aesthetician and PMU Artist, Arvé Aesthetics

Amy is an Aesthetician and PMU Artist at Arvé Aesthetics, specializing in cosmetic and paramedical tattooing including powder brows, lip blushing, areola restorative tattooing, and scar camouflage. Her path into the industry is one of genuine creative evolution, beginning in photography and expanding through hair, makeup, and beauty services before leading her to cosmetology, esthetics, and ultimately cosmetic and medical tattooing. It is a journey that makes sense: she has always been drawn to the intersection of artistry and human connection, and paramedical tattooing is where those two things meet most meaningfully.

Amy’s favorite treatment is 3D areola and nipple tattooing. For her, it represents the fullest expression of what this work can be: technically demanding, deeply personal, and genuinely life-changing for the people who experience it. Her approach across all services is rooted in education, taking the time to expand what feels possible for each person who sits in her chair, whether that means introducing a new treatment or supporting a longer journey toward confidence and healing.

A lifelong Upstate South Carolina native, Amy has deep roots in the region and a genuine love for its landscapes and culture. When she is not in the treatment room, you will find her on the Swamp Rabbit Trail, behind a camera lens, at a live music venue, or somewhere out in the Blue Ridge foothills.

Beauty Tip: Glycolic acid deserves a permanent spot in your daily skincare routine. Great skin and great self-care are always worth the investment.

Fun Fact: Amy started her career as a photographer. Her eye for light, composition, and detail never left, it just found a new canvas.

Amy’s goal is for every patient who sits in her chair to leave feeling seen, supported, and more confident in their own skin, knowing their care was approached with both artistry and intention.
