Cheryl Leighton-Short, Regional Director

Cheryl began her career with Stella Nova in 2013. 

As Regional Director she oversees the operations and performance of all three Stella Nova locations, working with location managers to make strategic decisions and keep things running smoothly. She loves taking care of the Stella Nova service providers and seeing our clients walk out smiling and feeling beautiful. 

She has a deep understanding of the industry having worked in the beauty industry since 2004. She is a licensed esthetician and has worked in several roles in spas, including the Elizabeth Arden Red Door Spa, and salons over the course of her career. She is passionate about all things skin, and is a beauty product expert. 

Originally from Rhode Island, Cheryl moved to Charleston after an East Coast road trip inspired her to make a change. She enjoys exploring new places with her two Boston Terriers, Pork Chop and Bandit, and her husband, cooking, listening to Elvis, old school rap and punk rock, and doing house projects. She is inspired by juxtaposing her interests - style, fashion, art, home decor, music, friends, and food - and combining them into something unique and fascinating.
