Hey There!
I’m Carla Whiteside
Small town beauty babe, devoted aesthetician, makeup connoisseur, leopard-print lover, lash fanatic with a passion for artistry.
I want Sugar Chic to feel like your safe space, a space you can relax, ask questions and never feel intimidated by the beauty industry. I’ll always walk you through what we are doing, cover any concerns and adjust according, so we are always on the same page before we even start.
I'm easygoing by nature, but a perfectionist when it comes to my work. More than anything I want you to walk away feeling seen, happy, beautiful and confident.
MY MANIFESTO
Do small things with great love
I believe beauty should still look like you, just a little bit more enhanced, polished, confident and cared for.
Whether you’re here for lashes, brows, skin or just a little time for yourself, my goal is simple: thoughtful services, beautiful results, and a safe space where you can completely relax.
In 5th grade, I charged $.25 for drawings of the Tasmanian devil...
I didn’t find aesthetics until 25, but once i did, everything clicked. What I love most really hasn’t changed: providing beautiful work, taking care of my people, and giving my clients a place where they can feel comfortable being themselves.
Sugar Chic has evolved a lot over the years and so have I, I will continue to do so because I know I’m exactly where I’m supposed to be.
“I always knew I was an artist but I never imagined it would be like this at this level”
Turns out, the slow start was just part of the story
Random? Absolutely. But apparently the entrepreneurial streak started early. I loved creating something that was mine and even more importantly, I was creating something that people loved and wanted.
That same creative streak eventually led me to aesthetics at 25. What started as a fun hobby quickly turned into something I could never imagine my life without. I eventually left my steady insurance job, took the leap and Sugar Chic became a reality.
More than a decade later, I’m still here, still creating, growing and obsessing with getting each and every lash just right.
I will never rely on the sure thing of living in a small town. It’s so easy to fall into, “this is what we have and this is what you get mentality” I will forever be growing and striving to provide everything I can to the community.
