MEET DREA

I’m Drea, the owner and solo operator of Niche-Creative Beauty Studio! Yep… it’s just me over here doing all the things. Booking appointments, answering messages, creating content, cleaning, ordering supplies… basically wearing all the hats. The only thing I haven’t committed to is making dance videos for my business. But hey… if times get tough, never say never. 

I’ve been in the beauty industry since 2008… which is wild considering I’m only 23, right?  (Just go with it.)

I actually started my career doing hair, which is probably why at your first appointment I ask approximately 7,492 questions about what tone of tint you want. Most people are probably thinking, “Girl… are you okay?” 

In 2018, I took the leap and started my own business. Around that time I also became licensed in permanent makeup, and while I’ve since shifted away from PMU brows, that chapter opened so many doors and pushed me into the world of brows, lashes, teeth whitening, tooth gems, and so much more.

This year I’m celebrating 8 years in business, and honestly, I couldn’t be more proud. There have been plenty of highs, even more lows, and more than a few moments where I questioned everything—but I kept going. I truly couldn’t have done it without every single person who took a chance on me and booked an appointment. Your support over the years has meant more than you’ll ever know, and I’m forever grateful.

When I’m not at the studio, you’ll usually find me hanging out with my husband watching the absolute best trash TV (yes… he loves it too), or spending time with my fur babies—my two weenie dogs, Douie and Ozzie, and my big ol’ cat, Smalls. (The name is very ironic.)

Whether you’ve been coming to me for years or you’re brand new, thank you. I genuinely appreciate every single one of you. I love getting to be a tiny part of your lives, catching up on all the life updates, and yapping our way through every appointment. I wouldn’t trade it for anything.
