From Double Tree Doll to Facegyrl Brands LLC, my guest for episode 69 is none other than Nikki Chanel. Having started her career by accident at Hamilton Place Mall in Chattanooga, TN, she has been blessed with the chance to work for some of the largest brands and celebrities. Nikki walks us through her humble beginnings working for other cosmetics companies and then one day deciding to create her very own business; combining her love for beauty, color and training. Facegyrl X Nikki Chanel was born. Take a listen and you'll hear why Nikki says customer service is key to her specific clientele, some of the challenges she's faced in the industry as a black woman and exclusive stories from some of the many celebrities she's worked with over the years. Like many women, Nikki has tackled quite a few tests in life such as overcoming an eating disorder that derived from her early days as a dancer. She also was very transparent in sharing her story of a domestic violence situation that could have ended tragically. We go beyond beauty and discuss our views on fitness, the war on women and the fragile male ego. Find out more about the expansion of Facegyrl X Nikki Chanel and the direction she's headed with branding and event management.
