raysa - hair specialist

Hello everyone, my name is Raysa, and I am a master stylist at SBL. I specialize in color transformations for all hair types, Rëzo cuts for curly hair, and natural smoothing treatments. I have been in the industry for 15 years, and I love everything hair-related. Being part of the SBL team has introduced me to wellness and scalp care, which I am growing passionate about. I love taking on transformations and projects that challenge me as an artist.


Fun facts about me: I love singing, I started a YouTube channel in 2012 where I shared my curly hair transition journey, and I have an adorable family. Follow me on Instagram, and let’s connect @hairaysa

Jonathan - Nail Tech

Hi everyone, my name is Jonathan, and I am the “Nails King” at SBL. I am a 3D nail artist, pedicure specialist, and Gel-X master. Nails are my passion, even though I graduated from cosmetology school. Working at SBL has given me the opportunity to perfect my craft and provide clients with a unique level of service in my specialties. I love connecting with the guests and offering an excellent service from the moment they arrive until they return for their next self-care date with us.

I’m here to make you feel like a million bucks, and I can’t wait to have you in my chair!

Fun facts about me: I LOVE cooking, I’m very funny, and I enjoy offering a relaxing massage throughout the entire pedicure experience.

Sara- Nail tech 

Hello everyone, my name is Sara, and I love everything about nails. I am a structural manicure artist who takes pride in caring for my clients’ nails by providing a safe service from beginning to end. What I love most about my career is educating my clients on maintaining healthy nails so they can grow naturally, without the use of harsh chemicals. Working at a holistic salon allows me to perfect my craft and provide clients with the utmost level of care.

Fun facts about me: blue is my favorite color, I don’t have a favorite food—I eat according to my mood, and I love classy things. Follow me on the gram and let's connect @nailsbymanila 

Eliana -Creative Director 

Hi everyone, my name is Eliana Benoit and I am the creative director at SBL. As the creative director, I play a crucial role in shaping the visual and conceptual aspects of the brand, ensuring it resonates with the intended audience. I enjoy developing and implementing creative concepts that align with the brand's goals and target audience.


Moreover, helping Samel develop and craft SBL has been very rewarding. As a creative director with a major in marketing, I could envision her ideas before they came to life, and it has been beautiful to watch. We started working together when she opened her first suite, Vibras Suites. Envisioning and customizing my clients’ ideas is what makes my career special.

Fun facts about me: Traveling is my love language, I fly people for a living, and I became a vegan/pescatarian at 18. Let’s stay connected @elianabenoit
