Meet Marilva Berrenstein: The woman behind the Tia’s Mimosa Handmade Products Brand
I just did the big chop after relaxing my hair and wanted to take care for my natural tresses. I started my business as a young student that could not afford all the products that were imported from the United States. So..I started to experiment myself. Eventually I collected my courage to start my own company in offering natural products to naturalistas.
It is a lot of hard work and many lessons were learned the hard way. Nevertheless, it makes the journey very interesting, to say the least 
.
Next to providing products I also give and organize workshops to share and gather information on natural hair care. I hear many stories of mostly women that take that step and go on journey with their hair and friends, family workplace.
I hope my presence can be a point of not only business but also reference for you all. For any questions, remark and ideas, do not hestitate to contact me.
Have fun and many blessings,
Marilva Berrenstein
