Nadine Ramos’ journey is a testament to resilience, vision, and unwavering faith.

Growing up in public housing on Manhattan’s Lower East Side, Nadine learned early that with faith and perseverance, anything is possible. At 20, a chance keratin treatment became a divine turning point—what started as curiosity blossomed into a calling. Inspired by her results, she partnered with scientists to create her own formula and launched Lasio Professional Hair Care.

Her innovative keratin treatments revolutionized the U.S. market, transforming Lasio into a multi-million-dollar brand cherished by salon professionals worldwide.

A New Era in Hair Care

Guided by faith and purpose, Nadine and her sister, Taina Del Rio, launched Blessed Bananas in October 2023 — a clean, sustainable hair care line powered by pure banana oil extracted from local Floridian banana peels. Responding to her customers’ growing desire for clean ingredients, Nadine created a line that nourishes from scalp to soul, reminding women to care for their hair with the same grace and faith they live by.

Giving Back Full Circle

Rooted in gratitude, Nadine’s success fuels her mission to uplift others. She mentors young Latina entrepreneurs, partners with foster care groups for career and beauty days, and continues to support the church that once gave her refuge. For Nadine, every blessing is meant to be shared—and every act of service is an expression of faith in action.
