Atkins, Lambert and Grimm have combined their individual talents and passion for the beauty industry to create a full-service salon offering customized services, including hair styling, skincare, nails and more. The team at Studio 2190 Salon and Spa is excited to bring a fresh new option for self-care and beauty to Bluffton.

Atkins, a licensed nail technician, brings a rich history to the salon, inspired by her grandmother who was a beautician. Originally pursuing a career in teaching, Atkins discovered her passion for nails during college when she began doing her own due to a lack of time and funds. After deciding that teaching wasn’t the right fit, Atkins attended nail school and quickly built a career in the beauty industry. 

“I went to nail school on a whim, got certified, and had a job before graduating,” Atkins said. With seven years of experience, Atkins has developed a loyal clientele and expertise in acrylics, dip and powder, gel polish, pedicures and detox foot baths.

Lambert has worked in the beauty industry for several years. After running a business in Bluffton and working in Monroe, she teamed up with Atkins to create Salon 2190. 

“We live in Bluffton, and this was a perfect opportunity. I love doing hair, and I love working with Atkins and Shannon. We make a great team,” Lambert shared.

Grimm, a licensed esthetician since 2019, specializes in providing customized skincare services, including facials, lashes, brow shaping and waxing. 

The renovation of the salon was a true labor of love. “The space was basically just bones when we started,” Atkins explained. “We built walls, removed old carpet, added water and drainage systems, and designed Shannon’s room from scratch. It took nearly eight months, but we’ve created a space we’re incredibly proud of.” 

Studio 2190, located at 2190 Commerce Dr., Ste 3, Bluffton, offers a unique blend of hair, skincare, and wellness services tailored to meet the needs of every client and is excited to serve the Bluffton community and beyond.
