Photojournalism: Milk Gal Stoodio

Date: October 17, 2021

Marketed as “Georgia’s First Instagrammable One Stop Shop Beauty Bar,” Milk Gal Stoodio brings something fresh to downtown Augusta. Every part of the bar lives up to the claim of being “Instagrammable,” curated with the Milk Gal aesthetic in mind.

Beauty Bar

The beauty bar offers a range of services, ranging from pedicures and manicures to lash extensions.


Milk Gal Galaxy

The concept behind the “Milk Gal” brand is “futuristic pinup gals from the ‘Milk Gal Galaxy,” according to their website. The wall near the entry has Barbie dolls dressed up and literally pinned up with this style in mind, setting the tone as clients enter.


Nail Bar

The nail tech section of the studio takes on inspiration from the high school aesthetic of Mean Girls and the characters’ penchant for pink.


Just Wanna Have Funds

A portion of the studio is aimed towards being a photo-op for clients who want to go for an air of opulence.


Makeup Services

The studio offers full-face makeup services. No part of the beauty bar seems out of place, maintaining a strong visual identity no matter the section a client finds themselves in.
