Meet the owners of Smile Labs Charlotte:

Nancy

I am originally from the Finger Lakes region in upstate New York (Canandaigua), I moved to Charlotte from Long Island with my husband Les in 1996 (before there was ever an Ardrey Kell or Rea road) and have lived in the Blakeney area since. We have two wonderful daughters and a lovable mutt, Bandit.

I have enjoyed successful careers in the retail and technology worlds, but after 35+ years of business experience, I jumped at this opportunity when Chris, my neighbor, and friend suggested we combine our expertise to start our own teeth whitening business.

Starting Smile Labs has been a bit scary, hard at times, but most of all fun. I learn something new every day and the best part of the journey has been working one on one with our clients every day, helping to educate them about our process and being right there with them to see the results and most of all, the Smiles! I am fulfilling a vision of building a business that serves others.

Chris

Like Nancy I am originally from upstate NY, Elmira.  My husband Joe and I moved to Charlotte in 1987, and we are the proud parents of our son Parker, a SC fire fighter. We’ve lived in the Blakeney area of Charlotte since 1994, when Blakeney wasn’t even on the map, the paper map!

After over 35 years in the healthcare industry, I was ready to move on! Some would say I’m obsessed with my teeth. I’ve been a long time bleacher, using over the counter strips, dental whitening trays, both fairly unsuccessful for multiple reasons, the primary one for me was the time commitment to reach optimal results. The idea of starting a teeth whitening business was born out of my need to find a better solution for myself. Nancy was ready to make a change, and it was an easy decision for us to join forces and bring cosmetic teeth whiting to our area of Charlotte!
