Q.: Can you tell us more about your history and how you came to be?
Kathe D’Alfonso: “I am malignant melanoma survivor. When I was 25 I had a mole and it was excised. The doctor’s office had told me it was benign, but three weeks later called and said they picked up the wrong report. They said I had Stage 3 malignant melanoma and needed to get into the hospital. I feel very fortunate that someone in heaven was looking out for me to have someone go back and reread my report that saved my life. Since then I have started a business called Expozures and it is still running full speed today. A few years ago after trying many products, I designed my own applicator to my liking and was granted a U.S. patent. The experience of feeling a possible death has reminded me over many years just how lucky I am to be here and to go for what I truly strongly believe. I never wanted to say I should have done this or that, I always say I am doing it! Solo Beauty is marketed nationwide and my product is helping so many people with the same issue I had when people call and tell me how much they love it, it just makes me stronger!
Q.: What would others find different about you that would be helpful to know?
K.D.: Solo Beauty is different from other products. I am not saying it‘s better just different. I designed it to look like a seashell so you would love to look at it and the mitts that I made that fit snug over the top of the applicator. Solo Beauty is game-changing because it can be washed, dried and reused. These are not just ordinary mitts — they are luxurious and the quality is impeccable. The nice thing is you can use on and off the applicator too! The product makes people’s lives easier. No roller balls, no replacement pads, just simply wash, dry, and reuse!
Q.: What are your aspirations for the future?
K.D.: I would love to have my product in stores and have people experience why Solo Beauty is different and how they can feel independent. It would make my day to take calls and have people tell me how this has changed their life and tell a friend!
