From Broken Ankles to Pink Paradise: How One Woman Transformed Her Community

Promise B. Mae just opened Baddies R Us, an upscale beauty bar, and it’s everything you’d expect from a place that’s not just about nails and hair—although they’ve got that down too. Located in her hometown of South Sacramento, Mae’s latest venture combines her flair for entrepreneurship with a passion for uplifting her community. And get this: she did it all while nursing a broken ankle. Talk about commitment!

This beauty haven is drenched in pink and filled with fancy decor, all designed to make you feel like royalty. “When you walk in, I want you to feel like you’re escaping reality,” Mae says. With support from local women-owned brands, her grand opening was more than just a party—it was a powerful statement about empowerment and community pride. Mae isn’t just building a business; she’s creating a movement, one cotton-candy chair at a time.

Ever think about how much a color can mean? For Mae, pink stands for love, softness, and power. She’s aiming to show women that luxury doesn’t have to exist only in big cities; it can thrive right in your neighborhood. Mae’s message is clear: if you dream big and work hard, you can turn those dreams into a beautiful reality. So, what’s your definition of a ‘baddie’?

Mae’s story is the perfect reminder that challenges can sometimes lead to even greater triumphs. Whether or not you live in the area, it’s tough not to root for someone who brings hope and vibrancy back to their community, all while standing tall (or limping, in this case) through adversity!
