Ghanima studied cosmetology at Debbie's School of Beauty Culture in Chicago and has spent four decades in the beauty industry as a hairstylist and makeup artist. Born in Chicago, she is now based in the Dominican Republic. She also formulates products, and earned her certificate in cosmetic product formulation from cosmetic chemist Perry Romanowski.

She always has her eye on new ingredients in the market and their uses, and she loves some of the advancements the skin and hair industries have seen over the past few years. She prefers natural formulations that use active ingredients in high percentages, as opposed to others that merely use botanicals for marketing purposes.

For the past several years, her focus has been on research. She has helped clients from Australia to Canada understand the differences in haircare products and their uses for various types of tresses. Ghanima studies skin, hair, and body procedures, stays on top of scientific advances, and is always on the hunt for the perfect product. As a consultant, she has been quoted by outlets including The Sun, Byrdie, Yahoo, the Mirror, the Express, Vegamour, Bustle, Glam, Oprah Daily, HuffPost, and Teen Vogue.
