Our Story

At the heart of our story is Kayla Velez, a passionate beauty professional whose journey began with a simple curiosity while studying at Fordham University. Inspired by the vibrant energy of the Bronx, she transformed that curiosity into a thriving business just a stone's throw away in Little Italy. Offering a full range of services—from eyelash extensions, lifts, and tints to brow lamination, facials, skincare treatments, waxing, and personalized beauty consultations—Kayla has built more than a studio; she’s created a space where clients feel beautiful, confident, and connected.

Beyond her work in the studio, Kayla is an educator at Western Suffolk BOCES, where she trains and certifies future beauty professionals in eyelash extensions. Her sociology and urban studies background shapes a community-centered approach to business and teaching. She empowers her students with technical skills, confidence, and an understanding of how beauty can impact personal and social well-being.
