Zurami Pascual is one of the most fascinating women in Miami whom many people admire. After I met her I found her personality very interesting– she was sexy, lovable, and funny. I found her totally authentic. I can say she is a “one-of-a kind woman!”
It was a top priority to sit down and write an article about her,
Let’s start with the basics!

DL: What is your background?
“I was born in Havana, Cuba. I live in Downtown Brickell. My mother was my mentor and still is. I challenge myself to be like her, every day,” said Zurami.
DL: What do you like about Miami?
“Everything, the weather, the people… Miami is home. I love this city–I love coming back after every vacation. It is like a small Cuba here in a free country,” added Zurami.
DL: Who is the person who most influenced your life?
“My mother,” said Zurami.
DL: Who is your favorite Beauty Icon?
“My favorite beauty icon is Grace Kelly, pure perfection. And you- all women are more beautiful than what they think,” added Zurami.

DL: When do you feel the sexiest?
“I feel the sexiest when I’m with someone who reminds me that beauty is more than a beautiful naked body in bed,” said Zurami.
DL: How did you get started in the tanning salon business?
“I started in the tanning industry when my son was around 7 years old. I hated leaving him and going to tan at the beach. I started tanning at a local salon and I fell in love with the concept,” added Zurami.
DL: Where do you see your business in a few years?
“My trade is a considerable and professional tanning franchise; as each salon meets an expectation of which no other salons can reach,” added Zurami. “We went from two salons to twenty-nine in five years and five more to open before December.”

DL: You are a very giving woman and very well known as a philanthropist too. Share with us this side of Zurami, “the Philanthropist.”
“Being a giving and kind person should be the norm for anybody who is blessed by worldly goods, it should be a standard of living for the upper financial status,” added Zurami.
DL: Who do you look up to as philanthropic mentors?
“I love Norma Quintero and Kimberly Bacardi,” added Zurami, “they have changed the world for the better.”
DL: How would your son describe you as a mom?
“My biggest perfection in life is my son, Andres. We get along very well, if that’s possible!” added Zurami. “He just said to me the other day: “Mom, you are the best mom and the coolest hands down.””
DL: You are one of Miami’s most wanted and eligible Bachelorettes. Tell us a little about your love life.
“Unfortunately, I am divorced. I promised my son that unless he was perfect for us, I would not allow myself to go there again,” stated Zurami. “Right now though, I’m dating of course and not a man hater, at all– I think I’m really looking for brains before beauty maybe I’ll get both!”
