About Us
Carmen Ortega
Owner
Born in Pachuca de Soto, Hidalgo, Carmen Ortega grew up in Guanajuato, Mexico. The first time Carmen arrived to the United States was in 1990 and she made several trips back and forth throughout the years. Beauty has always been Carmen’s passion and in 1994 Carmen certified herself as an esthetician and color specialist, but she continued to work in several projects until she was able to reach her dream of opening her own beauty salon. Before opening LYZA’s salon, Ortega worked at Fast Freddy’s here in Austin, and her professional name was LYZA. When she opened her own business, the name she picked was LYZA’s Beauty Salon.
My advice for young entrepreneurs always is to “ask for opinions, listen to what people recommend to you, but at the end of the day, always do what is right for you.”
Claudia Cabrera Ortega
Claudia Cabrera Makeup Studio
Claudia Cabrera was born and raised in Guanajuato, Mexico. She arrived to the United States in 2001 and the cosmetologist & esthetician certification in 2004. In 2015, she completed her makeup specialty in the city of Houston, Texas and she opened Claudia Cabrera Makeup Studio in the same year. I started this project because I believe my customers need space for themselves and privacy when receiving a makeover. I have a very simple style; I like simple things because these enhance beauty and elegance.
Isabel Cabrera
