Interview With Hanieh Sigari

This week, we talked with Hanieh Sigari. Hanieh is an entrepreneur, biochemist, anti-aging industry disruptor, and mom. Her holistic LA skincare brand, Qyral, is the culmination of a lifelong mission to improve lives and increase longevity. She combines her business acumen, bioscience knowledge, and passion for empowering women to be beautiful and financially free.

Qyral /ˈkīrəl/ stems from the word “chirality,” a chemistry term for a molecule’s mirror image. The molecules appear identical but their behavior is completely different, just like a reflection in a mirror. Skincare should be a reflection of you. Each of us is unique, so why do we continue to rely on cookie-cutter skincare routines? At Qyral, they’re breaking the mold. They treat all of our customers as individuals, and their formulas are personally tailored for everyone.

Interview with Cherin Choi

Cherin Choi grew up in southern California, and trained as a hairdresser in Los Angeles, where she graduated from the acclaimed TONI&GUY Academy. She later apprenticed as color associate at the prestigious Neil George Salon in Beverly Hills, CA. It was there that she refined coloring techniques that have allowed her to highlight healthy, fine hair with minimal damage, and to transform dark and coarse to blonde and beautiful. In addition to natural hair coloring, Cherin is highly skilled in integrating creative color palettes into her highlighting techniques. She also has expertise in hair extensions, specifically with sew-in wefts and tape-ins. After learning how to help her clients achieve their dream hair goals during her time at Ramirez Tran in Beverly Hills, Cherin opened up Nova Arts Salon. From there, she transitioned full-time to private appointments only across the client base she developed throughout Los Angeles, New York City, San Francisco, and Mexico City. It is her commitment to the mastery and exploration of her craft that sets her apart in the industry.

We talked with Cherin about her journey, moving from corporate to beauty and traveling around the country.
