Dayme Ulloa is a first generation hispanic american. Born in Puerto Rico, from parents of Spanish & Dominican descent, Dayme learned about natural and pure skin care from a very young age, watching her mother craft her own botanical formulas that she had learned from her mother and aunts. the secret of using the earths gifts to unlock sustainable youth was woven into the fabric of Dayme’s skin care beliefs and regimen.
Reflecting upon her mother’s natural beauty, Dayme witnessed first hand, that there are no substitute to pure and earthy ingredients. The proof was in the recipes of her mother and Aunts’ youthful dewy skin. They aged like the finest wines; of their richest soil.
With this knowledge, Dayme founded, Dayme cosmetics. She became a passionate entrepreneur who thought to create a beauty brand that puts customers in the driver seat of their skin care and beauty needs. Dayme created her Mobile Boutique store and it is the first of its kind offering customers the opportunity to customize their beauty and skin care products including facial creams hair care and much more with a commitment to using only the best ingredients sourced from ethical and sustainable suppliers, Dayme cosmetics is a vegan and cruelty free brand that works with farmers and companies from farm to jar the result is a high is a line of high-quality personalized beauty products that meet unique needs of each customer.

What’s been the most effective strategy for growing your clientele?
The most effective strategy for growing our clientele, started before I even launched the company. I had a clear vision as to why I wanted to start my company, DAYME COSMETICS. As a cosmetologist for over 15 years, I was able to work with the legendary Oribe, and at his salon on 5th Ave, in Nyc. I had the opportunity of catering to a lot of meticulously demanding celebrities and clients overall. With that said, I had to make sure that whatever I delivered was above and beyond asking. I always kept my focus on the finer details, making sure that whatever I crafted truly delivered what it promised, but most importantly, that it would do so, in a very healthy and ethical way. This is why all of our formulations are made with vegan botanical ingredients.
Also, I recall when I first saw the movie, ‘Chef,’ with Sofía Vergara and Jon Favreau’s, this movie really excited me because I fell in love with the concept of having my own mobile boutique as my flagship store. People really are fascinated by our shop, They love hearing the story behind the concept. I wanted to think outside of the box because my business was designed to be a one-of-a-kind business for each and every individual that is uniquely one of a kind! It was about creating the ultimate community and sharing our experiences. The best part is that we have over a 95% return customer rate and we continue to grow together.
Let’s talk about resilience next – do you have a story you can share with us?
When I officially started DAYME COSMETICS , I had a simple table set up and I would take part in different Farmers Markets around Los Angeles. Later, I scaled up to a table and tent setup, and eventually progressed to getting my Mobile Boutique shop in The, Topanga and Village Mall in Woodland Hills, followed by a beauty vending machine at the Westfield Century City Mall. Every single stage had its challenges, and I had to do my best to focus on the solution and resolved whatever needed to be dealt with so that I can move to the next level. It is essential that we have a clear vision, so that we can create a mental then physical blueprint to continuously move forward. I wrote my book, ‘The Journey Begins,’ by Dayme Ulloa, which is available on Amazon and our website. In my book, I talk about how I initially launched DAYME COSMETICS, I started with a simple table at various Farmers Markets across Los Angeles. As time went on, I expanded to a table and tent setup, and eventually, I established my Mobile Boutique shop at The Topanga and Village Mall in Woodland Hills. This journey also led to having a beauty vending machine at the Westfield Century City Mall. Each phase presented its unique challenges, but I remained dedicated to finding solutions and overcoming obstacles to progress to the next level. Having a clear vision is crucial because it serves as both a mental and physical blueprint for continuous advancement. In my book, “The Journey Begins,” I delve into the power of visualization and manifestation. While these concepts are often discussed broadly, I share my personal experiences and daily practices that have shaped my current position. Many people inquire about my journey, which motivated me to write this book. I firmly believe that these tools played a pivotal role in my success. I acquired the skill of visualization and manifestation
at a very young age, even before fully understanding the concepts. These teachings were directly influenced by my father’s mentality, who was a master at manifesting and passed down these valuable skills to me.
