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!

Ashley Feagle

I was a stay-at-home mom for a while and I loved every bit of it, but I always had a passion in beauty and wanted to pursue making women feel beautiful and I’m loving every bit of it!

"My lifelong passion is to make my clients feel beautiful in every way possible. When I’m not in the studio, I enjoy spending time with my two little boys and husband”.

Ashley is so sweet, and she shares the same passion the rest of us do. She is a perfect fit to our team here at Beauty Lounge and we are so excited to have her!

Ashley was born and raised in Gainesville, FL and she graduated from Blys School of Cosmetology in June 2022. She became very interested in eyelash extensions right after school and did a lot of research on how to best learn the art of lash extensions. Ashley is our lash technician and also is certified in lash lifts.

Cindy Saechao

Graduating from Skyline College for Aesthetics in 2015 and Massage Therapy in 2016, Cindy is a Licensed Esthetician with over 8 years of experience specializing in lash extensions and lash lifts.

Knowing the importance of education in an industry that is always growing and advancing, Cindy instantly had a strong focus on continued education and training.

With her focus on education and her positive attitude, we know she will be a great fit for our clients here at Beauty Lounge, we can't wait for you to meet her!

Kinleigh Collins

Kinleigh became a licensed esthetician in December 2023, following two years of playing collegiate volleyball in Georgia.

Growing up, she was immersed in the beauty industry, influenced by her experience in childhood pageants and her mother's career as a cosmetologist. This exposure sparked Kinleigh's passion for helping others discover their confidence through simple beauty enhancements.

Overtime, she developed a deep love for connecting personally with her clients and making a positive impact on their lives.

When she is not in the salon, Kinleigh enjoys spending time with her family on their farm, catching up with friends, and coacing volleyball.

Katelyn Carosella

We are thrilled to introduce Katelyn, our newest tech and licensed esthetician! Katelyn earned her esthetics license in December of 2023 at Florida Gateway College, following two years of foundational studies at Santa Fe College.

Her journey into the world of beauty began early, experimenting with makeup at just 8 years old. While she initially considered a career in the medical field, Katelyn discovered her true passion for esthetics- a profession that allows her to combine her love for artistry and her desire to make others feel confident and cared for. She finds immense joy in helping her clients leave the salon looking and feeling their absolute best.

When she's not perfecting her craft, Katelyn loves spending time outdoors, cooking, traveling, crafting, and spending time with her friends. She is also dedicated to advancing her education as she works toward earning her bachelor's degree.

We couldn't

be more excited to welcome Katelyn to our team- her enthusiasm, creativity, and genuine care for her clients make her the perfect fit!
