Nursing Experience

Deborah Nicolo, MSN, RN

Founder of Glam Squad Academy

I am a registered nurse with 36+ years of experience, a master's degree, and an extensive background in medical aesthetics, wellness, and education. I began training students in aesthetics because I saw a huge need for real, skilled, hands-on teaching that empowers professionals to start their own businesses confidently and safely.

Glam Squad Academy was created to give aspiring aestheticians, nurses, and beauty professionals the exact knowledge, tools, and confidence they need to succeed in the aesthetics industry. My mission is simple: to make high-quality, professional aesthetics training accessible, affordable, and career-changing.

I believe in blending clinical excellence with real-world experience, and I've helped hundreds of students learn the skills needed to build thriving careers in body contouring, laser treatments, skin rejuvenation, weight loss, and wellness services.
