Simple Beauty Studio

Born in Naples, Kiley Burd enrolled in cosmetology school to pursue her childhood dream and passion of doing hair. After several years with some of the top salons in Naples, she opened her salon, Simple Beauty Studio, in 2016. After adding a MedSpa in 2019, Simple Beauty now offers a full array of aesthetic services, from hair to Botox to laser hair removal and everything in between. While her skill and commitment to the community have helped grow the business, Burd credits many of her accomplishments to the people she’s met along the way.

“Much of my success and growth has come from the focus on relationships in both my personal and professional life,” she says. “I have always found joy in surrounding myself with people and doing all I can to make them feel loved and beautiful.”

Burd stays active in the community through her company’s Spreading Beauty Initiative, in which the salon staff donates portions of their bonuses to benefit others in different ways. She and her co-workers also help put on the First Responders Fest, a free concert and tribute focused on raising money for the Tunnels to Towers Foundation and honoring local first responders.
