Meet Kerelle “Laura” Brown

Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Kerelle “Laura” Brown. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Kerelle “Laura”, looking forward to learning from your journey. You’ve got an amazing story and before we dive into that, let’s start with an important building block. Where do you get your work ethic from?

I developed my work ethic at a young age by watching my family. Growing up in New York, I quickly learned that hard work is essential to succeed. My father was a business owner who often worked over 90 hours a week, and seeing his dedication showed me what it truly means to commit yourself. I understood early on that being an entrepreneur—or achieving success in any area—wouldn’t be easy, but it would be worth it. As a child, I approached everything I did with determination, and that drive to give my best has stayed with me throughout my life.

Thanks for sharing that. So, before we get any further into our conversation, can you tell our readers a bit about yourself and what you’re working on?

I moved from New York to Houston with a one-track mind: I knew I wanted to become a business owner and create something that truly helps people. I blended my skills with my passion and recognized there was a need in Houston for a professional, welcoming space dedicated to beauty and wellness. I partnered with a doctor to open Smiles & Styles Aesthetics, and from the beginning I committed myself to building a clinic that people could trust. To strengthen my expertise, I trained and became certified with a doctor here in Houston, and I also expanded my education internationally, studying in the UK multiple times and in China.

That journey led to Smiles & Styles Aesthetics becoming what I like to call the ultimate beauty sanctuary. We provide a variety of services designed to enhance natural beauty, promote well-being, and help our clients feel confident inside and out. What makes us special is not just the treatments we offer, but the safe, serene, and professional environment we’ve built for our clients to feel comfortable and cared for.

We’re especially excited about our latest expansion: the launch of our weight-loss services. This new addition allows us to extend our reach and now serve clients across five states. At Smiles & Styles Aesthetics, we’re always evolving, but our commitment remains the same—delivering personalized care, transformative results, and prioritizing the beauty and safety of every client who walks through our doors.

There is so much advice out there about all the different skills and qualities folks need to develop in order to succeed in today’s highly competitive environment and often it can feel overwhelming. So, if we had to break it down to just the three that matter most, which three skills or qualities would you focus on?

“MLooking back, I’d say three qualities have been most impactful in my journey:
1. Resilience – Entrepreneurship comes with challenges and setbacks. Being able to push through obstacles and keep my focus on the bigger picture has been key to my growth.
2. Continuous Learning – I never stopped investing in my education. From certifications in Houston to advanced training in the UK and China, staying curious and committed to learning has allowed me to bring world-class knowledge and services to my clients.
3. Building Relationships – Partnering with a doctor to open Smiles & Styles Aesthetics, creating a trustworthy team, and truly connecting with clients has been just as important as the technical side of the business. Strong relationships are the foundation of lasting success.

My advice for those early in their journey is to embrace learning as a lifelong process, surround yourself with people who uplift and challenge you, and don’t be afraid of the hard work—it’s part of the process that shapes you. Most importantly, trust your vision, even when the path gets tough. Every step forward, no matter how small, brings you closer to your goals.

Okay, so before we go we always love to ask if you are looking for folks to partner or collaborate with?

I’m looking to connect with people who are passionate about transforming their lives and helping others do the same. We’re especially focused on spreading awareness about the benefits of tirzepatide and semaglutide as part of our expansion with Trimvella. If you’re interested in collaborating with us or learning more, you can reach out through Instagram @trimvella.
