Furthermore, the global wellness market surpasses the US$ 1.5 trillion mark and continues to show an estimated annual growth of between 5% and 10%, mainly with regard to services and products linked to the fitness sectors, health, nutrition, appearance, sleep and mindfulness (a term that can be translated as “full attention”).

Growing and sharing

In the world of wellness entrepreneurship, inspiring stories of individuals overcoming obstacles and achieving success are a source of motivation and example. One of these cases is that of Odete Barro, owner of Salão Perfect in Toledo, in the west of the state, an entrepreneur who found her calling and professional success in the world of beauty.

She says that, when she started in this area, she had a lot of difficulty finding people who shared knowledge and were willing to teach. Therefore, she developed a social project called Libélula that professionalizes women in the beauty field.

“I realized that everything I didn’t have at the beginning of my journey, I can now offer in terms of knowledge, from entrepreneurship, marketing and management, to the ‘hands on’ practical course. Whether it’s knowledge, example or even advice, we can always change someone’s life for the better. And the beauty area taught me that”, emphasizes the businesswoman.

Technology for beauty

Kamilla Loyane, founder of the startup Lolita Bonita, from Cascavel, also in western Paraná, noticed during her training as a beautician the lack of a platform in her region that would make life easier for professionals and clients interested in beauty services. With support from Sebrae, she launched an app in 2019 to meet this demand

With this app, customers can search, schedule and pay online for hairdressing, manicure and massage services. It also innovated by offering discount coupons for off-peak days. In addition to the app, the startup launched the website, which works as an e-commerce for skin, body and hair care products.

“At the time, many clinics and salons were emerging, meaning it was a saturated market. That’s when I started thinking about how I could innovate and differentiate myself in this area. The essential thing is to bring together a fair price and quality service, this promotes a democratization of aesthetics”, says the entrepreneur.
