Dunia arrived in the United States in 2023 with a skill, a vision, and the determination to build something from scratch. A micropigmentation specialist from Cuba, she founded Amate Beauty Salon and set out to carve her place in a new country, a new market, and a new chapter of her life. It was not easy. Starting over in America never is.
Every August, Dunia faces the pressure of renewing her lease, a recurring deadline that keeps the stakes high and the need for capital real. When she needed funding to keep growing, the banks said no. Her business was too small, they told her. Not the right fit. For an entrepreneur who had already overcome so much to get here, that rejection was not the end of the conversation. It was just the beginning of finding a better answer.
Late one evening, Dunia came across a One Park Financial post on Instagram. She started the process that same night. What followed was exactly what she had been looking for: a straightforward process, fast responses, and a team that communicated clearly and treated her like a real business owner, not a number on a form.
The funding made an immediate difference. Dunia was able to rent a second space for Amate Beauty Salon, which is currently under renovation and getting closer to opening every day. What once felt like a ceiling became a new floor.
What sets One Park Financial apart, in Dunia's own experience, is how easy they make everything. The communication is fast, the process is simple, and they are always there when you need them. For a business owner navigating a new country and a growing operation, that ease matters more than most people realize.
Today, Dunia is doing exactly what she dreamed of doing. Her biggest goal is to build a larger team, expand her reach, and grow Amate Beauty Salon into something that reflects everything she has worked for since arriving in America. She is already on her way, and One Park Financial is part of the reason why.
