About Us
MICKY RICHARDS
Owner | Operator | Licensed Esthetician
I am a self proclaimed Georgia peach, however, I am originally from a small suburb of Massachusetts. My mom moved my 4 sister and I to the Atlanta area in 1995 and it is now home to my ENTIRE extended family.
At a very young age, I realized that hard work and consistency allowed me freedom and the ability to make my own money. So a few years after receiving my BBA in Marketing and working a few years in the insurance industry, I decided to make a complete career change by enrolling in the esthetics program of the International School of Skin and Nails of Atlanta (2009-2010). Shortly after obtaining my esthetic license, and working as a staff esthetician for a few years, I established Sugar Lips Studio. Throughout the years, I've received additional certifications in sugaring, eyebrow shaping, and spray tanning.
CHRISTINA SMITH

In addition to being my youngest sibling, Christina also shares a passion for all things beauty. As my sole apprentice and direct protégé, she has had the opportunity to learn and practice esthetics through hands on learning and my direct guidance. Christina aims to make her clients feel at ease, by offering a safe space to enjoy their self-care experience.
