Olivia Quido-Co
As CEO and Founder of O Skin Med Spa, Olivia Quido-Co has devoted over 19 years into making people feel and look beautiful. Armed with a deeply-rooted passion for skin esthetics and nurturing instincts, her holistic approach to beauty and life in general has brought her success as a top-rated esthetician, entrepreneur, women’s advocate and a Christian philanthropist.
“Ms. O,” as most people call her, started her career as a California-licensed esthetician inside a leased spare room at a beauty salon in Artesia, CA in 2003. Undaunted by the pressures of being new in the industry, she zealously honed her skills in performing facials in the confines of an eight-by-six-feet space, while learning the ropes of running a spa. Her resilience and determination paid off as word spread about her talent and work ethics, which later earned her the Woman of the Year award, (one of the) Top 100 Filipinos in the USA, AARP’s Top 8 Woman Entrepreneur in LA, and a Mayor’s Award for Entrepreneurs in Los Angeles.
Worldwide Recognition
In 2009, Olivia signed with ABSCBN International and The Filipino Channel (TFC) to star in her own TV beauty segment. Her show entitled, “Beauty by O,” ran and highly-rated for 10 years before transitioning to a live-stream Facebook show due to Covid-19 restrictions. She also appeared on Balitang Amerika, an award winning international news program airing on the same network. O Skin Care has been featured in several publications such as Weekend Balita, Philippine Post, Philippine Tribune, and on Travel & Leisure magazine in the Philippines.
Olivia’s weekly Facebook live-stream talk show called, “The Miss O Show” streams every Friday and is followed by friends, family, supporters in and out of the country.
