Aleksandra Kieloch loves her job. She says it’s all about making people happy. As an aesthetician working at Mariposa beauty clinic in Cork City, Aleksandra will see up to eight clients a day. Her specialty is lip fillers.

“I love making people’s appearance better, making people feel better and look better,” Aleksandra says. “It’s all about making people happy about how they look. I think if you’re happy about yourself, you’re happier in life.”
