Grand Opening of The Prevalent Universe

March 31, 2025

Who: Councilwoman Dr. Aditi Bussells, City of Columbia Office of Business Opportunities, and members of The Prevalent Universe.

What: In 2021, Eursel “Nicole” Weston, a licensed and certified cosmetologist practitioner, instructor, and entrepreneur, founded The Prevalent Institute, a state-board-approved educational beauty program. This beauty program has evolved into The Prevalent Universe, a holistic beauty school.

The Prevalent Universe was created to address a critical gap in the beauty and wellness industry: the need for comprehensive, inclusive, and medically informed care. By integrating traditional beauty services with advanced, non-invasive solutions, this institution serves individuals experiencing hair loss, cancer, and other medical conditions. The Prevalent Universe will offer holistic programs in cosmetology, nails, esthetics, barbering, modeling, and herbal product creation while equipping students with the skills to meet the growing demand for essential beauty services.

The first 20 attendees will receive one free service: manicure, pedicure, facial, or shampoo.

When: Friday, April 4, 2025 at 11:30 a.m.

Where: 228 Assembly St., Columbia, SC 29201
