Meet Tony Nuno

We had the good fortune of connecting with Tony Nuno and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Tony, is there something you can share with us that those outside of the industry might not be aware of?
There are many misconceptions about Botox and filler, and I completely understand why—there’s a lot of bad work out there that reinforces people’s preconceived notions. Many don’t realize the difference between the two, and that confusion can lead to unnecessary fear of cosmetic treatments. The truth is, when Botox and filler are used correctly, they can beautifully enhance someone’s natural beauty. But it’s not about chasing a “perfect” look; it’s about balance and subtlety. At The Skntellect Studio, we place a strong emphasis on patient education because we believe knowledge demystifies these procedures, making them feel less intimidating. By thoroughly educating our clients, we help them feel confident, informed, and in control of their choices. You need someone who is not only highly skilled but also assertive enough to turn you away if a procedure isn’t right for you. A great injector will always put your best interest first, ensuring you get the outcome that enhances your features without ever looking overdone. The goal is to enhance, not to transform, and an experienced, thoughtful injector will always know the difference. Overdone is out—subtle, natural beauty is in.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?

The Skntellect Studio is driven by a deep commitment to providing high-quality care in an inclusive and welcoming environment. As a proud Latino-owned business, we understand the importance of creating a space where everyone feels comfortable, regardless of their culture or socioeconomic background.What sets us apart is our balance of science and artistry. My strong foundation in science ensures precise, professional care, while my artistic side allows me to provide thoughtful, personalized treatments. I pay close attention to every detail and always prioritize my patients’ best interests—We carefully assess each patient’s needs and only recommend treatments that are genuinely suitable for them, with a focus on enhancing natural beauty in a subtle, undetectable way.Getting here wasn’t easy. Overcoming challenges as a first-generation entrepreneur required staying true to our values: hard work, integrity, and genuine care. The biggest lesson we’ve learned is that authenticity builds trust, and that trust is at the heart of everything we do. We’re most proud of the positive impact we’ve had on our patients. Our goal is to enhance confidence, offer thoughtful care, and create a space where everyone feels valued. That’s the story behind our brand, and we’re excited to continue making a difference.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
If my best friend were visiting Los Angeles for the week, here’s how I’d show them my favorite spots that capture the essence of this city. We’d start with a must-have meal: Villa’s Tacos. The tacos there are something else—authentic, flavorful, and always satisfying. Afterward, we’d head to Malibu for some beach time. The coastal vibes are perfect, and I can’t resist a meal at Nobu, where the food is just as stunning as the ocean views.

For a taste of LA’s local charm, we’d wander through The Grove Farmers Market. It’s one of those places where you can pick up fresh produce, find unique bites, and people-watch all at once. A visit to the Getty Center is a must—whether it’s the world-class art or the breathtaking views of the city, it’s always a memorable stop. As the day winds down, we’d catch a concert at the Hollywood Bowl or maybe see a Broadway show at the Pantages Theater. If we’re feeling nostalgic, there’s always the El Capitan Theater for a movie experience with a touch of old Hollywood.

To soak in some history, we’d stroll through Olvera Street, where the city’s roots come to life. When we need a break, a hike up to the Hollywood sign offers the kind of panoramic views of LA that never get old. And no trip would be complete without a day at Disneyland—there’s just something magical about it, no matter how old you are.

To cap it off, we’d head to West Hollywood, where the nightlife is always buzzing. The bars and the vibe are perfectly LA—lively, stylish, and full of energy. It’s a mix of all the things I love about this city: laid-back yet vibrant, full of history, and never short on fun.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?

I’d like to begin by giving a heartfelt shoutout to my family. Their unwavering support, love, and encouragement have been a constant source of strength throughout my journey. Whether it’s celebrating milestones or offering guidance during challenging times, they’ve always been there, reminding me of the importance of staying grounded and focused. Thank you for being my foundation.

Next, I want to recognize Lola and her exceptional social media marketing team. Their creativity, strategic thinking, and dedication have been vital in helping us grow and connect with our audience in meaningful ways. Lola’s ability to consistently deliver with enthusiasm and innovation has truly elevated our efforts. I couldn’t be more grateful for their hard work and passion.

Lastly, a special thank you to my mentor, Sukhi. His wisdom, patience, and encouragement have profoundly shaped my growth, both personally and professionally. Sukhi’s belief in me and his ability to push me beyond my limits have made all the difference. I’m truly fortunate to have had such a mentor by my side. To my family, Lola, and Sukhi—thank you for playing such a pivotal role in my story. I wouldn’t be where I am today without you.
