A loan helped to buy a salon styling station and chair and a shelf unit for displaying nail polishes.


Luz Norelby's story

Luz is a very hard-working and forward-thinking woman. She is currently in a common-law marriage and does not have children. She decided to start an independent business providing hair styling and other beauty treatments several years ago, in the municipality of Apartadó.

Today, Luz wishes to give a small boost to her business with the help of Kiva lenders and the Interactuar corporation. As such, she needs a loan to buy some equipment that she needs for her shop, like a salon styling station and chair and a shelf unit for displaying nail polishes, with the aim of improving upon the ones that she currently has and continuing to offer quality service.

With this loan, she will be able to ensure the comfort of her customers and thus build loyalty in many more customers and increase her profitability.
