Empowered by Beauty©
Here at Empowered by Beauty©, we recognize the invaluable quality of an individual's wholeness, which is only attainable through intentional internal development. In a world that places much emphasis on external beauty, Empowered by Beauty© seeks to encourage, educate, and empower women to look within for the hidden treasure.
Mission & Vision
Empowered by Beauty mentors, uplifts, and equips young women to discover their identity, walk in purpose, and lead with bold, God-given confidence. We empower the broken to rebuild their lives — from the inside out.
Born from Ngina’s powerful journey of transformation after federal prison, Empowered by Beauty redefines beauty as wholeness, and channels it as a force for restoration, destiny, and generational change.
"Beauty is not an ornament,
but a countenance."
THIS IS MORE THAN A NONPROFIT — IT’S A MOVEMENT
Empowered by Beauty is where healing meets action, and identity is restored through a proven path of recovery, faith, and empowerment.
"Beauty is planted in us in exchange for the ashes of our lives."

I met Ngina 15 years ago and she has been an important part of my life ever since. Over 15
years I have worked for Gina in different capacities, and in every role I was given I was
led with love (sometimes hard love) , wisdom, spiritual guidance, professionalism and
honesty. Ngina’s transparency made me trust her from the very beginning. Working at Studio
Chique has taught me just as much about life as it has about hair, and I’mbeyond grateful
for that. Gina has always put me in a position to thrive in both my personal and
professional life. Not many people can say that the person they work for loves them or cares
enough to do that. I’ve grown a lot at Studio Chique but the biggest growth I’ve experienced
would have to be me becoming a stylist at the salon after being an assistant for several
years. When I first started doing hair I lacked the skill and confidence that I needed to be
a great stylist. Gina gave me her time and knowledge of the industry and molded me into the
stylist I am today.
I still have much growing to do in the hair industry but I know
with her by my side, I will always have what I need to win.
On top of my career growth
and having a good work/ life balance, increasing my income was just as important. I felt
stuck before coming back “home” at Studio Chique and now my possibilities have increased.
Gina has made all that possible!
Thank you and I love you G!
