The renowned Andrea Orsi, owner of Andrea Orsi Beauty Lounge in Newport Beach, California, has an incredible story of passion and resilience in the world of beauty. As a Brazilian immigrant herself, she deeply understands the challenges and adversities faced when adapting to a new life in a foreign country. By experiencing these situations firsthand, Andrea has developed a unique empathy and genuine understanding of the journey of overcoming and inspiration that immigrants go through to find their place and thrive abroad. Now, she is taking a step further with an empowering project called “Rescuing Your Identity,” dedicated especially to the immigrant community.

We know that starting life in a new country can be challenging due to cultural differences and language barriers. Often, personal appearance takes a back seat because of initial financial struggles and the fight for adaptation. However, as opportunities arise, it’s important to maintain a well-groomed appearance and feel confident in everyday life.
Latinas are used to taking care of themselves regularly, even with limited resources. However, in a new country, this habit may be neglected. Andrea Orsi’s “Rescuing Your Identity” project aims to help immigrant women feel at home, regaining the self-esteem and confidence that might have been lost during the transition.
Some frequently asked questions about the project include:
- Do Latina immigrants experience this survival phenomenon upon arrival? Latina immigrants face the survival phenomenon upon arriving in a new country, just like immigrants from other nationalities. Adapting to life in a new environment brings common challenges for everyone, such as cultural, linguistic, and financial adaptation.
- What are the consequences of not taking care of oneself as before? A lack of self-care can lead to a decrease in self-esteem, confidence, and in some cases, feelings of depression and sadness. Maintaining a well-groomed appearance is an important part of overall well-being and can directly impact the quality of life and success in a new environment.
- Are depression and sadness related to a lack of self-care? Yes, a lack of self-care can contribute to feelings of depression and sadness. When people don’t take care of themselves, they may feel less confident and less able to face life’s challenges, which can lead to a negative cycle of emotions and low self-esteem.
- What does “rescuing your identity” mean? Rescuing your identity means rediscovering and embracing the beauty and self-esteem that may have been lost during the transition to a new country. The project helps women reconnect with their roots and feel more confident in their own skin, contributing to a happier and more successful life.
- How does the project improve participants’ self-esteem? The project offers participants the opportunity to take care of themselves and enhance their personal appearance, which can boost self-esteem and confidence. Additionally, participants are surrounded by a welcoming and supportive community that understands the challenges faced by immigrants, providing emotional support and encouragement.
- How have the lives of women who have already participated been improved? Women who have participated in the project report an increase in self-esteem and confidence, as well as a deeper connection with their cultural roots. Many have also experienced improvements in their personal and professional lives thanks to the recovery of self-esteem and community support.
