I take care to enable my clients to enjoy a unique beauty. Encouraging a healthier, natural and simple life where natural beauty depends on the balance between body, mind and spirit.I graduated in Physiotherapy, Aesthetics and Cosmetology. I specialize in anatomy and dermocosmetics.
About two years ago, I renewed my knowledge of nails, but with a purpose, values and a greater mission: “To treat before to beautify”. I work with a unique brand with extreme social, environmental and animal responsibility, biosculpturept.
Sandra Costa
A beautician/cosmetologist since 2011, I began my academic career at the European School of Aesthetics. After graduating, I worked for about a year in a clinic in Lisbon, the Milénio clinic, during which time I learned how to do lymphatic drainage and post-surgical follow-up.
In 2013, I returned to my hometown of Grândola, where I started working as a freelancer in some rural tourism and in partnership with a therapist whose main job was massages. It was there that I developed my great passion and did a lot of training in the world of massages, face and body treatments. I visited some local beauty salons and spas, and got to know some national and international brands.
In 2017 I arrived at Carla Moreira’s Hydrotherapy and Spa School, where I began my training in holistic therapies through Ayurveda. I spent a year at Homes Place in Lisbon’s Parque das Nações.
In 2018, the year I joined a major hotel, Sublime Comporta, and stayed there until 2022, five years of learning and working with major cosmetics brands and excellent spa and therapy professionals.
2022 was the year I radically changed my life and started working on my own and with a few partnerships, one of which I’m very proud of.
