Our Founder
Johanna Ruiz, originally from Colombia, arrived in the United States 26 years ago. Her passion for beauty began in 2016, when she discovered the world of micropigmentation. Motivated by an interest in learning more, she trained as an esthetician in Rhode Island, graduating in 2017. During this time, she also specialized in eyelash extensions, an art that transformed her life and sparked a deep desire to help other women feel confident and beautiful.
After 14 years working in a factory, Johanna made the brave decision to leave her stable job to fully dedicate herself to her vocation. She began serving clients from her home, building a solid and constantly growing clientele while continuing to train in new techniques and trends. Her commitment to education and excellence led her to become a certified eyelash extension educator, sharing her knowledge with future professionals.
Guided by her faith and passion, Johanna took a new step in her career: opening her own salon, Integral Beauty, a space created with the vision of offering women a comprehensive place where they could pamper themselves, improve their self-esteem, and enjoy multiple beauty services all in one place.
Today, almost three years after opening its doors to the public, Johanna leads a team of four professionals who share the same passion and values. Together, they have formed a true work family, consolidating a space where perseverance, innovation, and a love of beauty are reflected in every service.
