PHOENIX — A Glendale woman has been arrested after allegedly performing unlicensed injections on clients in the Phoenix area despite advertising herself online as being certified, according to court records.

Court records show Sayde Holladay was arrested last week at a Phoenix office near the former Metrocenter Mall during an undercover operation.

Holladay, who goes by "SlimSlays_LLC," was arrested on multiple felonies, including operating without a license and fraudulent schemes.

Records show Holladay was arrested last Tuesday amid an operation where an undercover officer paid for 50 ML of Botox and watched as she prepared the needle for injection.

Later, a search warrant was executed at her place of work after the undercover officer paid an initial deposit for the visit.

The arrest report details how Holladay has had an active presence on social media, advertising services since 2024. Those posts include videos of herself injecting clients with Botox and other fillers.

The ABC15 Investigators reviewed the services Holladay offers online, which include fillers, "fat dissolve" of the stomach, chin, arms, and thighs, liquid rhinoplasty, and others.

Her website also shows a "portfolio" of photos of the alleged injections.

However, her social media sites have been taken down.

The ABC15 Investigators have also learned that the undercover operation was conducted by the Arizona Attorney General's Office.

A spokesperson for the state agency could not comment on how many victims there may be or provide more details about the arrest or operation.

Holladay is listed as an "imposter" on the Arizona Medical Board's website. A cease-and-desist was also sent from the board to Holladay one day before her arrest.
