Today we’d like to introduce you to Nikia Edwards
Hi Nikia, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
I started doing lashes in 2018 after an extended vacation to Jamaica. At the time I wasn’t sure if my purpose and I hated working in corporate America. While working on that trip, my dad’s girlfriend introduced me to individual lash extensions. She was a successful lash artist and offered to teach me the skill. In the following years I practiced my craft consistently, taking various classes, and receiving my esthetician license.
In 2023 I moved to North Dallas and was welcomed into the community with open arms. I started with a very small clientele and have grown my clients book to include 100s of local professional women who frequent my business.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
It definitely has not been a smooth road to building my business. Some of the challenges I faced were self-doubt, discouragement, and many struggles finding the right clientele. When I first started doing lashes I would constantly compare myself to other lash artists and realized that I was only holding myself back. Numerous conversations with my mother and a lot of self-discovery helped me to create the unique style of lash artistry that I am able to share with the Dallas community today.
Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
I’m a lash artist who specializes in volume lash artistry that ranges from natural to dramatic. I mostly serve professional women who are looking for natural styles that are suitable for the workplace. These lash extensions help them save time on their beauty routine and maintain a consistent and well-kept appearance that boosts confidence. I’m most proud of the way my business has grown and the way it touches the lives of women in my community. I get to be apart of so many parts of my clients’ lives and the relationships that I build with them are irreplaceable.
Something that sets me apart in this industry is my unique lash style that I have created through years of practice. I am also one of the few lash artists that still lashes with integrity and focuses on maintaining the health of my client’s natural lashes.
Can you share something surprising about yourself?
Something interesting about me is that I was in college to become a software engineer and decided that lashing was what I was more passionate about. I decided not to pursue that degree anymore and it has definitely paid off.
