Tell us about you
My name is Maria del Carmen Pulido; people also know me as Carmenza. I was born in Bogota, Colombia.
I am the owner of Essential Beauty Carmenza, and I started my beauty career when I was in Colombia. I’ve been working in the beauty industry for over 14 years, gaining valuable experience and knowledge.

What challenges have you faced in your professional life?
When I moved to London, I had to face many challenges to begin working as a beautician. I had to adapt to a new culture, learn a new language, and validate my knowledge and previous experience through different courses and extensive training.

What makes you feel proud of your business?
I feel very proud of my work when I see good progress in my customers and when they’re happy with the results. I’m also proud of the knowledge I’ve obtained during my fourteen years of experience.
“I’m a confident beautician due to the experience I have obtained during all these years that I’ve been working in this amazing industry.”
