We were lucky to catch up with Biboluwa Fatukasi recently and have shared our conversation below.
Alright, Biboluwa thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. So, naming is such a challenge. How did you come up with the name of your brand?
Amoke lashes how I came up with Amoke lashes Amoke is a African Nigerian name means to pamper honestly I wanted to be different so I wanted people to know I’m an African girl Nigerian to precise my name stand outs and the name is also my middle name i also want ladies to pamper them selves by doing their lashes and looking Good .I love what I do ,because looking good is my business
Biboluwa, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?
Hi my name is biboluwa fatukasi ceo of Amoke lashes I was born in Miami, Florida, but I was raised in Nigeria, Lagos to be precise, and I came to Miami after my university in Nigeria. As a young girl, I had so much passion for beauty because my mom was a beauty therapist. I would say I took after my mom. This inspired who I am today; I love beauty so much I love looking good, so I started my own lash brand; looking good was a way of expressing myself, and anytime I don’t look good I’m always sad lol so most times I love looking good because it’s brightens my mood. Amoke lashes is a trendsetting online store offering first-rate exceptional service. We specialize in selling mink lashes and installations of minks. Like volume hybrid and classics I started selling strip lashes in October 14th, 2021 Started installing minks ,volume and classic lashes earlier this year our brand has been synonymous with quality. Our lashes are Real mink lashes; we provide an incredibly natural look that closely matches human eyelashes. Our minks are handmade only. Looking good is our business. What sets me apart is that I love beauty it’s a passion I love making other women look beautiful my customers never regret my services and my product they all love it I’m proud of every accomplishment so far in my brand i will keep on pushing to put my brand to the highest level .
What’s been the most effective strategy for growing your clientele?
I would say my best source of clients is referral because when people see my clients lashes they be like where did you get your lashes from or who did your lashes they refer their friends and family to my business I also promote my business on social media and go for pop up shops and tell people about my business that’s how I get new clients
Any fun sales or marketing stories?
At my first pop up shop I was nervous I didn’t want to go I thought people where not going to show up and that I wasn’t going to make any sales but I already invested a lot at my first pop up shop so by God grace pulled through and I made so much sales that day more than what I expected one thing I will say never doubt your self worth you have so Much potential in you so use it .
