MJ Juergens, Spa Manager
Meet MJ, our dynamic Spa Manager at Sweetgrass Plastic Surgery! Originally from Ohio, MJ brings a unique blend of creativity, leadership, and warmth to our team. Before stepping into the world of aesthetics, she spent time as a teacher and even was a commercial woodworker—proof that there’s nothing she can’t do with a little passion and grit.
Since moving to Charleston in 2013, MJ has fully embraced the Lowcountry lifestyle. When she’s not leading the spa with heart and humor, you can find her out on the water boating, hunting for the perfect houseplant, or rolling cigars like a pro. She also shares her home with her beloved bernedoodle, Max.
MJ’s favorite part of her job is helping clients feel confident and cared for, and she’s always ready to greet you with a smile and a laugh.
