Leila, Licensed Esthetician & Certified Sugarist
A licensed esthetician, Leila Mingoia graduated from Suncoast Technical College and jumped right into the field of esthetics and sugaring hair removal. The youngest in her family and the only girl, she and her 2 brothers were born and raised in Long Island before relocating with her parents to Sarasota in 2016. Leila enjoys the beach but still considers herself more of a mountain girl. Having lived near the Adirondacks, she enjoys hiking, camping, road trips and other domestic travel and adventures.
A dancer since the age of 3, Leila has always had an appreciation for Broadway production and the arts. As often as she could Leila would spend time with her mother in the salon atmosphere; assisting with daily operations and customer care while her mom worked as a nail technician. She enjoyed caring for people and helping them “feel beautiful”. This experience early on helped her realize her own passions and interest in further developing her skills and ultimately led her to a career in the beauty industry.
From a family heavily rooted with a heart for music, she’s basically a self-trained musicologist/trivia expert in most genres and will often surprise you with her quick wit and vast degree of knowledge. She’s also a cat-mom and huge fan of “Lord of the Rings” and anything Shire-folklore inspired. She and her boyfriend share an extensive LEGO collection, because building is not just a hobby; it's a therapeutic and enriching experience that can benefit individuals in various ways.
“The world can be a rough and unloving place without the right support, and I try to be that support for anyone I cross paths with. I really love meeting new people and hearing their views on the world and how they’ve experienced life. It always allows me to keep an open mind and heart.”
Stacy Perez, Licensed Esthetician & Certified Sugarist
Mother of two teenagers and a very spoiled Aussie-Doodle pup, Stacy and her family relocated to Sarasota from Massachusetts in 2013. Although licensed in cosmetology over 20 years ago, she realized early on that she didn't quite have the passion for hair care as much as she did for treating the skin. So for the time, she chose to utilize her other innate talents and began a career in human resources and office management.
With a desire to return to the esthetic industry, she enrolled at Fashion Focus Hair Academy to obtain her esthetician license after relocating to Florida. Excited to finally be in pursuit of her ideal career, she's continued her education and professional certifications in full body sugaring hair removal, dermaplaning, microneedling, microdermabrasion, facial sculpting, eyelash extension application, brow & lash tinting, brow lamination & lash lifts and lymphatic drainage facial massage techniques.
With all her previous experience in human resources and organization; Stacy quickly became the brains behind the day-to-day operations at His & Hers Bare Beauty and we're honored to have her in our tribe.
