Launch of MAJAS
While attending college, Milinda started to research how to manufacture lotions and body butters. After much trial and errors, she came up with the perfect formula for the all-natural skin care products. Realizing that it really worked her beauty product line MAJAS was born. Her products can be found at www.majasthebrand.com
Milinda knew she had much more to offer as she became fascinated with the art of attaching eyelashes. She wanted to explore her hand at putting on the eyelashes and so she added it to her skills. When she saw how perfectly she did lashes, Milinda realized her dream in the world of beauty and pursued her education in Esthetics.
As a licensed Esthetician, Milinda Smith now sets out to open her own beauty spa based in South Florida. What is amazing for this esthetician is that during this pandemic while others are failing, she has set out to open her business. When Milinda was asked, how is it she is opening a business in a pandemic, her response was, “real life still a keep.”
