We had the good fortune of connecting with Christian And Daniela Sifuentes and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Christian and Daniela, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
My wife and I both own the Nail Salon bar, Christian is an Executive Chef here in the DFW area with a huge background in the Culinary industry from running hotels, restaurant groups, Corporate Dining and even owned a restaurant Pre-Covid.

Daniela has been in the Nail industry for some time now with a background in Criminal Justice in her home country, Venezuela. Daniela also runs another business in Digital Marketing.

The thought process behind starting a business is often multifaceted—driven by a combination of personal passion, market insight, the pursuit of independence, and a clear vision for providing value to customers in a unique way.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
Bella Nail Salon Bar was created to offer more than just great nails—we aim to provide an exceptional self-love experience. Our focus on excellent customer service, high-quality nail care, and a relaxing atmosphere sets us apart. We want our clients to feel pampered, confident, and rejuvenated every time they visit.

What we’re most proud of is the loyal community we’ve built. We’ve worked hard to create an environment where clients can not only get beautiful nails but also take time to unwind and feel special. While the journey hasn’t always been easy, we’ve overcome challenges by staying focused on our core values and listening to our clients’ needs. Learning to balance creativity with the business side of things has been a big lesson, and it’s made us more resilient.

At Bella Nail Salon Bar, we believe that self-care goes beyond beauty—it’s about how you feel. We want the world to know that we’re a place where everyone can come to relax, feel empowered, and leave feeling their best.
