Karen's story
Karen is a young esthetician from Popayán, Cauca, with 10 years of experience. She owns a beauty salon where she offers a wide range of services, from keratin applications and organic straightening treatments to blowouts and hair treatments, serving more than 13 clients daily and, on occasion, providing services to two clients at their homes. She organizes her activity to maintain service quality.
Karen lives with her mother and her brother in her grandmother’s house, where she receives household support, allowing her to organize her time between family responsibilities and attending to her beauty salon.
A loan of $3,751,006 COP helps Karen purchase a motorcycle to support her activity. This investment facilitates transportation, improves at-home services, optimizes working time, and strengthens the continuity and growth of her beauty business.
