If there’s someone I’ll always be grateful for, it is my sister, who I consider my second mother. My sister gave me my first beauty equipment and, since then, it’s like I got my wings. I have been through major adaptations in my life, and instead of seeing them as obstacles, I see them as learning experiences.

Working with beauty and people has brought me a wonderful learning about self-awareness and a new outlook on life. Growing up in a poor area in Brazil, I only dreamed of having the basics and living comfortably. Now, I look back to that life, and I pinch myself – this is more than what I ever dreamed! As a dreamer, I know my journey will not stay unchanged. Before, I never thought I would have my own beauty salon, but life with its twists and turns had this in line.

Then, out of the necessity of moving abroad and looking for jobs without speaking the language, either I had to wait or do it myself. So, I took charge. Through every client, I also learn something new. And that’s what keeps me motivated, my ability to make people feel good about themselves. That’s why my advice for anyone looking for their path is to find something that will cause a positive transformation in the world and align your expectations. Develop your work around your values and beliefs.
