Six years later, she’s finally landed a brick-and-mortar location after storing all of her supplies in a warehouse and meeting clients at their venues rather than in her own personal space. And the location is just a few storefronts down from her brand new venture, Dior Beauty and Esthetic Lounge, on East Edgewood Drive in Lakeland.
