Brow Artist

Nishawne Hinds
Beauty and grooming have always played a major role in Nishawne’s life. The Panama born esthetician came to the United States at the age of 14. After high school Nishawne enrolled at the International School of Skin and Nail Care with plans to major in nail care. One semester, however, she added a skin care class to her schedule and discovered a real passion for the art and science of beautiful skin. While in school, Nishawne worked in various cosmetic lines in high end department stores. It was while there her knack for shaping perfect brows was discovered. In between demonstrating cosmetics products, she would use her personal tools to shape the brows of her friends, coworkers and customers. Soon women were coming to see Nishawne simply for their eyebrows. After building a solid, though underground reputation as a brow stylist the perfect opportunity came by way of a new line of brow products and shaping methods. The line’s namesake and founder made her fame as a brow stylist via Oprah and slew of celebrity clientele. Nishawne landed the coveted position as the brow artist and it didn’t take long before it became a 3 month wait for a brow shaping. Unable to continue to accommodate her clientele, she sought a new home and discovered AYA, a happy marriage between art and science.

Nishawne’s services at AYA include Brow Sculpting, Facial Waxing, and Brow and Lash Tinting.

Lash Stylist

Vivia Baugh
Lash Stylist, Vivia Baugh, joined AYA’s team in March 2012, but has been in the business of keeping women beautiful since 1998. She found her passion for beauty while serving as the makeup artist on a student film projects in college. Vivia used her cosmetology skills to finance her undergrad studies, as she began freelance work for various cosmetic lines and department stores. After earning her Bachelor’s degree in Mass Media, she continued to serve as a freelance makeup artist while working in television production in Washington, DC.

After moving to Atlanta in an effort to broaden her horizons as a makeup artist, Vivia sought out the best way to add glamour with ease to her new clients’ daily look. After watching clients struggle to achieve long, full lashes with mascara or false strip lashes (without success), she found Xtreme® Lash extensionsand learned how to apply them. She completed the Xtreme® Lashes eyelash extensions course in 2011 and has been lash-crazy ever since. Vivia says, “I love the way lash extensions allow you to wake up every day, looking like you’re ready to go, without using mascara. I won’t go anywhere without them!”

Vivia is available by appointment only at AYA’s Phipps Plaza location.
