Yeidis worked for three years in a beauty salon in Barranquilla. In 2019, she moved to Ararca and, from the living room of her home, with a few nail polishes and two plastic chairs, she began offering basic nail care services to her neighbors.
Throughout this process, the support of her family was fundamental. Her husband bought her work materials so she could offer acrylic and semi-permanent nail design services, and her father, noticing that she was working uncomfortably on a plastic chair, built her a folding table.
In 2024, she obtained a microcredit that allowed her to purchase an ergonomic chair, a nail drying lamp, a fan, and additional manicure tools. These improvements enabled her to provide higher-quality services and create a more satisfying experience for her clients, helping her build customer loyalty. Today, some of her clients even travel from Barú and Santa Ana to access her services.
Currently, her goal is to separate the spaces dedicated to her work and family life. To achieve this, she is building a second floor on her home, which will be used exclusively for her business. The space is expected to be completed by the end of the year and will include a waiting area, a restroom, and a larger workspace for her dream project: “Spa Yei’Nails” by Yeidis Ruiz.
