Today we’d like to introduce you to Fernando Castano.
Hi Fernando, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?
Established in 1995, Optima Beauty Supply was one of the first all-purpose beauty businesses to open in Lower Manhattan. Shop from over 500 brands for your beauty essentials and hair care needs. Optima Beauty Supply has been in the hair care business for years, specializing in wig styles, weave styles, hairstyles, and more. Through the support of our loyal customers, we have built a vibrant community we are proud to serve in the NYC region.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
After having so many obstacles and so many challenges after September 11, we continue with our doors open to our fantastic and wonderful customers who have always been very supportive and a crucial part of our business.
Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
