We had the good fortune of connecting with Catalina Marlys De La Mengue and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Catalina Marlys, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
Woow! Well actually I didn’t think about it because I wasnt thinking about doing this kind of business “an hair care products line at all” but with multiples encouragement,reviews,comment ,advices ,regarding my personal products I used to make for my son,family,neighbors,managers,co-workers who really pushed me . I constantly answered to everybody no no no not me why? Is not interesting and to do it to thousands peoples what? Oh no no no……
I arrived to the point of Humm ! Let me see

And then after all I started!


Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
well I have a large resumer, I always been into Business /Communication/management/finance for a little bite now . I have been manager in customer service representative in clothes line,in financial institution,transportation,law offices, doctors offices at a young age been a loan originator and Personal Banker in Europe and Africa continue my way up in miami in a new financial institution .
I got there where I am by always knocking the doors until one will be open and available suiting me it’s was always easy for me cause I always get it with the “it’s will work,it’s mine,everything will be ok,let’s go, if it’s mean to be yours it’s will be if not is not for you »mentality no matter what will happen to me tomorrow’s because I give all my troubles all my worry all my thought all my situations to my god and it’s work constantly.
We all have to overcome any situation we can take a day,a week,a months or a year we will all get there because our fight never end challenges will always be there .

The lesson I learned along all my way is we cant change or be in control of others but we can control ourself ,our patience, our understanding our feeling ,our temper,our decisions ,our peace if we all choose too ,our consistency,our motivation our fight.

I want the world to know that treat yourself “your hair” like a flowers treat yourself with love respect,appreciation , care,motivation,dedication,perseverance and consistency will pay you back one day

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?

The one one that deserve the credit in all I have been doing in life is my god Jesus Christ & my parents who educated us almost as a CIA agent lol to be perfectible in all we would like to do(have to do),pushing us to learn about everything without having any knowledge limitation,”to visualize doors opportunities” if a door is close go right away next door and knock until you have an open door (a positive answer) and until you finish what you have to finish….

People that didn’t even know me but helped me from no where .

Peoples that always took advances of your kindness.

Peoples who believe in me ,given me opportunities.

Peoples who never believed in me .

Peoples that was gossiping about me .

Peoples that try many time to destroy my characters ,my person,my image.

Peoples from every type of background, good, bad, ridiculous, homeless,gangsta,educated peoples, without education, without morale, with love, respect, humble or not, psychopaths, regular peoples and each of my clients/customers I met during my whole life.

Peoples from every type of professions “all my life I I have been listening,watching, study others, I took advices from everyone as long as  I can be educate in any kind of subject,situations,circumstances.

peoples who teached me a life lesson by listening all them life situations,for me its avoided me a lot later on in my life …. everyone and everything educated me beside the school, my parents, work,friends the st and my god.

So for me I really thanks anyone that have been in my way (life) because each of them bring something into it.
