INTRODUCTION

I. BRIEF HISTORY OF THE COMPANY

 Charlow Arbasto Makeup and Design Studio is a prominent name in the fashion and
beauty industry, especially in the province of Bohol. Owned by Charlow Cielo Arbasto,
who is a transgender, the studio has become renowned for its exceptional services and
unparalleled customer experience. The journey to success began in 2009 when Ma'am
Charlow Arbasto founded the Charlow Arbasto Makeup Studio, which initially focused
on makeup services only. With sheer hard work, dedication, and a passion for excellence,
the shop gradually improved, leading to its success and recognition in the industry.

In 2013, Charlow Arbasto extended her expertise and creativity by venturing into
garment rental. Despite having limited skills in dressmaking, she used her skills in visual
arts and established a garment rental service, which further enhanced the popularity of the
studio. The shop expanded its services to include garment rental, which was highly
appreciated by the customers. Charlow Arbasto, who is technically the Fashion Designer
in the shop, manages a team of skilled tailors who work tirelessly to fulfill the customers'
requirements.

It's worth noting that the first location of Charlow Arbasto Makeup and Design Studio
was in J.E. Clarin, Tagbilaran City, Bohol. However, due to the shop's growing popularity
and demand, Charlow Arbasto opened a new location on Pamaong Street, Cogon
Tagbilaran City, Bohol in 2021. The new location offers the same exceptional services
and customer experience that the studio is known for. Whether you choose to visit the
original or the new location, you can be sure that you will receive high-quality services
that cater to your individual needs.

Today, Charlow Arbasto Makeup and Design Studio is a one-stop shop for all your
fashion and beauty needs. With a team of highly skilled professionals, the studio offers
top-notch services that cater to your individual needs. The studio's success is a testament
to Charlow Arbasto's vision, hard work, and dedication. It has become a symbol of
