Meet Our Founder

Hi, I'm Mandys Peña, Founder & CEO of Simply Mandys!

Ever since I was a little girl growing up in Mexico, I've had a passion for beauty, hair, and makeup. I always knew I wanted to turn that passion into something bigger, but I never imagined the journey that would bring me here.

My journey began at just 16 years old, working as an assistant in a beauty salon in Mexico. At 20, I moved to the United States with big dreams and a determination to create a better future. I enrolled in cosmetology school and continued pursuing my passion for helping women feel beautiful and confident.

At 23, I took a leap of faith and opened my first beauty salon. Around that time, I also began developing my own cosmetics line, starting with lipsticks. I had big plans, but things didn't go as expected.

I lost my business, but I refused to give up on my dreams.

I started over in a small salon suite, using what I had and doing what I knew best. I reintroduced my lipstick collection, continued working as a hairstylist, and slowly began rebuilding everything I had worked so hard for.

Then came TikTok, and everything changed.

What started as a way to share my passion for beauty became an incredible opportunity to connect with women around the world. Through sharing my knowledge, demonstrating products, and staying true to myself, I began building a community that believed in me and my dreams.

After more than 20 years as a professional hairstylist, I knew I wanted to create something that went beyond the salon.

That's how Simply Mandys was born.

My mission was simple: to create salon-quality haircare products that help women feel confident, embrace their beauty, and achieve their dream hair from the comfort of their own homes.

Today, Simply Mandys is more than just a beauty brand. It's a reflection of my journey, my passion, my family, and the incredible community that has supported me every step of the way.

My story hasn't always been easy, but every challenge has taught me that success isn't about never failing. It's about having the courage to get back up, believe in yourself, and keep moving forward.

If there's one thing I hope my story inspires you to believe, it's that big dreams can start in the smallest places.

Thank you, my frens, for believing in me and being part of this incredible journey. We're just getting started! 💕

With love,

Mandys Peña
