Kurve Beauty Studio & Academy

Kurve Beauty Studio & Academy is a permanent makeup and tattoo studio in the Belle Meade area of Nashville. Owner Chanel Picquelle opened it in December 2021 after moving her business from San Diego County. For brows, they offer microblading, where each hair-like stroke is made by hand, and powder/combo brows, which use a cluster of fine needles to create a shaded look. They also offer lip blushing, tiny tattoos and fine line tattoos. The studio books parties and private events, such as birthdays, bachelorette parties and weddings, and can also come to clients for on-site events. For group appointments at the studio, they ask clients to send the number of guests and photos of their ideas before booking so they can give a quote.

Chanel began permanent makeup training in 2018 and became certified in permanent makeup. She later added fine line tattooing to her skills. She also runs Kurve Academy, founded in 2020. The academy teaches microblading, shading and powder brows, lip blushing and fine line tattooing, and it has an apprenticeship program that the site says takes one year under Tennessee state law.
