Nikki Naylor

Nikki Naylor is the owner and the permanent makeup artist at Beauty Lounge and Co. Nikki is originally from Brevard, Florida but has lived in Gainesville since 2008. Nikki graduated from Joe Blasco Makeup Artist Training Center of Orlando in 2007 with a certificate in Professional Makeup Artistry.

 

After graduating from Joe Blasco, Nikki attended the University of Florida. She graduated with a bachelor's degree of science in Family, Youth and Community Science in 2012. She worked as a bridal Make-Up artist while attending the University of Florida.  With her passion for the beauty industry and dedication to helping women feel beautiful, in 2015 Nikki decided to begin microblading training to further expand her skills in the beauty world.

 

Nikki completed a 6-month apprenticeship under an artist in Orlando. Her apprenticeship gave her the ability to work hands on with her trainer and clients to assure her understanding of the procedure was thorough. She spent hundreds of hours perfecting the craft before taking her first client.  She has since taken several continuing education training courses and attended conferences all over the country. She has completed in-depth training in the science of pigments, skin undertones, modifiers and color corrections, needle selection, winged eyeliner, lip blushing and more.

 

To Nikki, Beauty Lounge is everything. It stands for her remaining true to who she is, creating a life she loves, providing the highest quality services to each and every client and most importantly, helping women feel beautiful in their own skin!
