Dealing with hormonal acne and eczema for almost fifteen years affected Priscilla Hajiantoni’s mental health and body consciousness. However, it also sparked her passion for helping others feel good in their skin with a global solution for skin concerns.
Embarking on the journey to launch Bangn Body took a lot of work. Before its inception, Hajiantoni spent six years in the corporate world, gaining priceless insights into project management, budgeting, timelines, and resource management. These skills now underpin her daily operations.
“I strongly believe that life experiences direct us to our purpose. However, genuine growth, learning, and adaptability manifest when consistently engaged in one’s chosen industry,” said Hajiantoni.
The past five years with Bangn Body have proven to be a profoundly enriching journey, surpassing the collective lessons from her entire career, a significant highlight being creating a community, which has been a big focus since before launching the brand to market.
Being recognised and featured in Forbes 30 under 30 was another proud moment. Building a solid network and engaging with the community brought personal fulfilment and opened doors to collaborative opportunities and shared success.
The journey of connecting with like-minded individuals and making a positive impact has undoubtedly been a standout experience in her professional trajectory.
The continuous motivation stems from Bangn Body’s customers, her dedicated team, and her collaboration with skincare chemists to craft innovative, high-performance products that deliver results.
“We aspire to be a positive moment in people’s days, enhancing their well-being with every interaction.”
There are several individuals in the industry whom Hajiantoni deeply admires and draws inspiration from, like Emily Weiss, the Founder of Glossier.
“Emily’s innovative approach to beauty and her strategic thinking has greatly influenced my perspective. I’ve seen first-hand the value of building and growing a community and staying true to your USP.”
As simple as that sounds, Hajiantoni’s advice is to never give up, even during the most challenging times.
“If I could offer advice to my younger self entering the industry, it would be to embrace curiosity and continuous learning. Don’t be afraid to ask questions, seek guidance, and explore various field facets.”
The world of beauty is ever-evolving, and staying adaptable is critical. Every challenge is an opportunity to grow, and the more you immerse yourself in the learning process, the more resilient and versatile you become.
Building a solid network of genuine connections can open doors and offer valuable insights, and trust in your capabilities and celebrating small victories along the way is essential.
