A loan helped to invest in the renovation of the salon and improve its image.


Blanca Mirelly's story

At 38 years old, Blanca Mirelly is a determined, hard-working woman with a clear vision to continue growing her beauty salon and treatments business in the city of Medellín. From a young age, she has worked tirelessly to get ahead and today, she leads her own nail salon, a space she built with dedication and love.

This business has not only allowed her to generate income for her household but also provide well-being, self-esteem and confidence to each customer she serves. However, Blanca Mirelly knows that in order to continue advancing, she needs to take a step further.

For this reason, she is requesting a loan that will allow to renovate her salon and image and create a more comfortable and attractive environment for her customers. This investment will be key to reaching and retaining new customers and positively impacting her income to allow her to provide well-being to her two children.

Blanca Mirelly does not only offer beauty services but she offers care, transformation and empowerment. With the support of Kiva, and the Interactuar corporation, she will be able to continue growing and fulfilling her dreams.
