The concept of The Beauty Bar Nosara was built on a dream that two ladies shared for over a decade. Califa Rojas and Melissa Chong met while on holiday at a surf retreat in Costa Rica. The ladies found maintaining a beauty routine in the Jungle nearly impossible unless they were willing to travel to a city like San Jose. The other option was to go to a high-priced hotel spa, where they often found the atmosphere stuffy and uninviting. The ladies enjoyed surfing, driving quads , horseback riding and playing tennis. One day sitting alongside the Ocean, their souls and spirits were full of joy and light, until they looked down and saw that the jungle had wreaked havoc on their skin and nails. Feeling a bit rough they decided it was time create a beauty space in the jungle for women just like them.. The idea came into fruition quickly. The ladies would create a beauty boutique that was accessible, beautiful, fun and stylish. Everyone deserves to feel pretty and be pampered. Pura Vida!
