La cara detrás de Miss Ponytails
Michantely Lisse
Fundador y director ejecutivo
¡Hola reinas!
Me llamo Michantely Lisse y fundé Miss Ponytails. Con mi experiencia en concursos de belleza y mis conocimientos de comercio electrónico, decidí abrir mi propia tienda online. El nombre "Miss Ponytails" fue creado con mucho cariño por mi querida hermana, Maïsha Molly.
He tenido mi cuota de días de mal cabello, simplemente porque no quiero pasar demasiado tiempo cuidándolo. Naturalmente, tengo el cabello rizado, pero debido a que lo aliso o lo teñí con frecuencia, terminé dañándolo y tuve que someterme a varios "cortes fuertes". Una cola de caballo se convirtió en mi solución para permitir que mi cabello volviera a crecer sano y aún luciera hermoso y elegante en solo 5 minutos.
¡Para mí, tener una cola de caballo es algo absolutamente IMPRESCINDIBLE!
No se trata solo del cabello, es todo un look, un estilo de vida.
Nuestra misión es hacer que su experiencia con nosotros sea lo más sencilla y relajante posible. También queremos inspirar confianza y empoderar a nuestras clientas para que siempre se vean y se sientan hermosas. Nuestra visión es convertirnos en la primera marca a nivel nacional en los Países Bajos de extensiones de cabello con cola de caballo.
"Estoy emocionada de compartir contigo mis hermosas, naturales y voluminosas colas de caballo".
¡Espero que los ames tanto como yo!
Con amor,
Michantely Lisse

Who is Michantely Lisse?
Where it all started
It all started back in 2017, when I was 17 years old and decided to participate in the Miss Beauty/Teen of Noord-Holland pageant. At that time, participating in beauty pageants wasn’t as common for girls my age as it is now. I initially thought it was just a modeling contest, but soon I realized it was so much more than that.
After a few offline rounds, I was invited to the casting day in Hoorn, along with 100 other girls. At the time, I didn’t have a car, so I shared the exciting news with my mom, Jennifer de Vries. She was so overjoyed, she literally jumped for joy when she heard I was entering a beauty pageant. What I didn’t realize at the time was that both my mom and even my grandmother had their own history with pageants. So, joining felt almost like a natural step, even though I didn’t fully understand what I was getting into.
On the casting day, I decided to just be myself. I answered all the questions in both Dutch and English, walked in small heels, and most importantly, I kept smiling. My smile had always been my strength something that no one could take away from me, and it made me stand out. After a long day, the exciting news came: I was chosen as a Finalist Miss Teen of Noord-Holland! Along with 30 other girls, half of whom were in the adult 'Miss Beauty of Noord-Holland' category—I advanced to the final.
The whole journey was an incredible adventure. I stayed true to myself, enjoying every moment, every rehearsal, and every outing. I always styled my hair for special occasions, so I put some extra effort into that for this experience as well. When the final came around, it was nerve-wracking, but it became clear that my personality and presence had made a lasting impression. Not only did I win the Miss Popularity of Noord-Holland title, but I also took home the Miss Teen of Noord-Holland 2017 crown!
With this provincial win, I earned the opportunity to represent Noord-Holland at the national level in the Miss Teen of The Netherlands pageant. What started as a teenage adventure turned into a journey I will never forget.
