Brittaney Sturgill
CEO and Master Certified Artist / Owner of BLB LUXURY
My name is Brittaney, and I am the proud owner of BLB Luxury. With 19 years of experience in customer service and 8 years in the beauty industry, my passion for this work runs deep. Throughout the week, you’ll find me floating between all of our locations because being present and connected to what we do here truly matters to me.
Nearly 6 years ago, I made the leap to Florida and rebuilt BLB Luxury from the ground up. What we have created since then is something I don’t take lightly an incredible team of artists dedicated to delivering the best experience in the industry.
What fulfills me most is walking through these doors every day, seeing our clients, and knowing that BLB Luxury is a space where people feel comfortable, cared for, and celebrated. Turning my pain into my passion and my purpose has been one of the greatest blessings of my life and keeping God at the center of it all has made every step of this journey worth while.
