About Eliana Martin Salon

Eliana

Eliana was born in the vibrant city of Medellín, Antioquia, a place known for its rich culture and warm hospitality. From a young age, Eliana showed a special interest in beauty and aesthetics, which led her to explore her passion further. At 16, after graduating high school, she made the brave decision to study to become a stylist. Her dedication and talent led her to the Sandra Beauty Academy, where she spent two years perfecting her skills.

Eliana’s passion for styling did not go unnoticed. Upon graduation, she was hired as an instructor at the same academy where she had studied, sharing her knowledge and love for beauty with new generations of students. She dedicated a couple of years to teaching, but her ambition drove her to seek new opportunities in the world of styling.

Fate smiled upon her when she got the chance to work at Camilos, the most renowned salon in Medellín at the time, which also had a contract with a local television channel. This experience allowed her to style and do makeup for TV presenters and local celebrities, a chapter in her career that filled her with pride and expanded her network in the beauty industry.

At the age of 21, Eliana made a life-changing decision: she left her hometown and family to move to the United States, seeking new opportunities and professional growth. Her arrival in a new country came with challenges, but her determination and talent led her to work in some of the top salons in the industry.

Over time, Eliana made a bold move and launched her first project as a salon owner. Thus, Eli le Colour Salon was born, a space where she could express her creative vision and offer high-quality services to her clients.

Years later, destiny brought her together with her husband, a talented barber. Both shared a deep passion for beauty and personal care, which led them to combine their talents. In 2020, they opened and inaugurated Eliana Martin Salon. Together, they created a warm and professional environment where clients not only receive excellent service but also enjoy a unique experience.

Today, Eliana Sánchez is an example of dedication and passion in the world of styling. Her journey, from the streets of Medellín to becoming a successful entrepreneur in the United States, is an inspiration to many. Her story reflects not only her talent and determination but also the power of pursuing dreams, no matter the obstacles along the way. (Women’s Gallery)

Martin

Martin was born in a small town in Guatemala, where the mountains meet the sky and culture weaves into everyday life. It was there, at a young age, that he began cutting hair for family and friends, discovering his passion for the wonderful world of barbering.

After working in several barbershops in his homeland, he sought to improve himself but was hindered by political, economic, and social challenges. These circumstances led him to embark on a journey to the United States, seeking a better future for himself and his children.

Martin is a professional barber with over 20 years of experience. Throughout the years, he has consistently taken courses and stayed up-to-date with the latest trends in men’s hair and cutting-edge tools. His dedication has earned him the respect and loyalty of both colleagues and clients.

However, his path wasn’t easy. Martin shares that “It’s not easy arriving in a new country without speaking the language, far from your family. There’s fear and nervousness, but there’s also a strong drive to succeed and be better. That desire and love for my children kept me grounded.”

With patience and dedication, Martin has mastered the art of cutting hair. He not only excels with scissors and clippers but also understands the importance of listening to his clients. For him, each haircut is an opportunity to connect with people. Over the years, Martin has built a solid reputation in his community, attracting men of all ages who leave his chair not only satisfied with their cut but also uplifted by his passion for his craft and the warmth of his smile.
