THE WOMEN OF
Established in June 2024 in the heart of Downtown Pascagoula, The
Beauty Mark., LLC is an aesthetic med spa where clinical expertise meets
artistic precision. Founded by Maggie Duke, a licensed and board-certified
Nurse Practitioner, and co-founder Haley Jones, a licensed Registered
Nurse, The Beauty Mark was built on a shared vision: to bring exceptional
aesthetic medicine, genuine relationships, and an elevated standard of
patient care to the Mississippi Gulf Coast.
Together, Duke and Jones bring more than 31 years of combined
clinical experience to the practice. Their diverse healthcare backgrounds,
commitment and passion for aesthetics have shaped The Beauty Mark
into a destination where science, artistry, and individualized care come
together. Duke’s approach to aesthetic medicine pairs an in-depth
understanding of facial anatomy with a refined artistic eye. Rather than
changing what makes a client unique, her philosophy centers on enhancing
natural features, restoring balance, and creating results that feel authentic
to the individual.
Their personalized philosophy extends throughout The Beauty Mark
team - from injectables and skin rejuvenation to customized facial
treatments and wellness services, each treatment plan is thoughtfully
designed around the person sitting in the chair. The team is known for
meticulous attention to detail, advanced techniques, and an unwavering
commitment to education and safety—all within a warm, welcoming
environment where clients feel seen, heard, and valued. For Duke and
Jones, building The Beauty Mark has always been about more than
treatments and transformations. From the beginning, it was important that
the business reflect the values at the heart of their partnership: integrity,
honesty, trust, and meaningful relationships. What began as a dream

between two women passionate about helping others look and feel their
best has quickly grown into one of the Mississippi Gulf Coast’s most
celebrated aesthetic destinations.
Within its first year of business, The Beauty Mark was named 2025 Best
of Coastal Mississippi in both the Best Med Spa and Best Facial categories.
That same year, Duke was also named a 2025 Master Injector by the
Foundation for Aesthetic Medical Excellence. This momentum continued
in 2026, with The Beauty Mark once again earning recognition for Best
Med Spa and Best Facial categories, while adding honors for Best Day Spa
and Best Woman-Owned Business.
For Duke and Jones, the accolades are meaningful not simply because
of what they represent for the business, but because they reflect the trust
their clients have placed in them. “We are so incredibly honored to be the
Mississippi Gulf Coast’s first choice in aesthetic medicine,” says Duke.
“This recognition belongs just as much to our incredible clients as it does
to us. The relationships we’ve built and the lives we’ve touched have made
this journey more rewarding than we could have ever imagined. ”The past
two years have also brought exciting growth to The Beauty Mark team,
including the addition of Jamie Williams, a board-certified Physician
Assistant, and Avery Wheat, a licensed Esthetician.
“Creating and building The Beauty Mark., LLC has been the most
rewarding experience—one we will forever be grateful to God for
providing the opportunity while leading and guiding us every step of the
way,” Duke says.
