Our Story

Welcome to the evolution of Pretty N Mink into The Self Care Beauty Bar! I'm Natavia, the visionary behind this transformative beauty experience.

Passion Unveiled: While pursuing my marketing degree in college, I began selling strip lash products under the brand name "Pretty N Mink." A year later, I started my journey as a home-based lash artist, where I discovered my true love for the beauty industry and the significant impact I could have on women’s confidence.

Qualifications and Growth: After five years of perfecting my craft and building a solid business foundation, I outgrew my home setup. Taking a leap of faith, I decided to expand into a separate location that offered more space and opportunities for growth. To make this transition, I enrolled in esthetician school, where I quickly discovered my passion for skincare.

Expanding Horizons: I then ventured into facials and brow services, broadening my menu to provide an elevated beauty experience. My desire to collaborate and network with like-minded individuals, along with the need for a larger space, led to the creation of my beauty bar business model.

Connecting on a Personal Level: At the heart of my approach is a personal connection with clients. I’ve created a safe, judgment-free space where you can unwind, nap, enjoy some fun girl talk, or whatever it is you need while getting the benefits of being pampered. From attention to detail to thoughtful gestures like freebies and snacks, I’ve crafted a beauty bar that reflects the warmth and authenticity I seek in such spaces.

A Beauty Bar Redefined: Ultimately, it’s more than just a beauty bar—it’s a dream come true for beauty professionals and their clients alike. A place where passion meets professionalism, offering an elevated experience that ensures every woman leaves feeling not only beautiful but truly seen and heard.
