Since Aug. 1, Ofele Da Costa, 28, has been creating and opening a small beauty care business. Salon Nova Belleza “The New Beauty” derives its nickname from Portuguese, the language of her family’s home country. The young woman gained her experience both in accredited training centers and in the field with specialists among her acquaintances. She works as a nail technician and eyelash technician. In this highly competitive segment, it stands out from the rarity of American fastener technology. Hurry up with the firmer capsules, this gives her more time to express her aesthetic in the nail art she masters with her colors, designs and arabesques. “All embellishments are possible, including personal photos or jewelry inserts,” she says. Various factors explain the success of a nail salon. Firstly, the undeniable fascination of a well-manicured hand and the primacy of beauty in a society of appearances that requires embellishment and flaunting oneself. She believes that it is also a means of artistic expression in the same way as a tattoo, drawing or sculpture. The young entrepreneur also practices eyelash extensions and enhancements. “While the first style calls for extensions, the second style focuses on curvature in order to enhance the look,” she explains. The young woman has been fascinated by tattoos, drawings and slogans since she was young, and she wears dozens of them on her skin. Not surprisingly, his Locos of Ink salon activity takes place at his tattoo artist friends César and Teddy Escudero at 23 rue de Turenne. Ofili da Costa works by appointment.
