I am very happy seeing Young Minds stand up for something, I am self motivated myself but Ms. Titilope inspired me even more when I met her. While she was working on her client in a photo studio she had come for her photoshoot, I made a comment : "this make up job is not easy o", and her response tells me so much about her already. She responded and said "Yes, it's not easy, if you want to achieve the best".
That made me see through her as one who will go extra mile for her customer's satisfaction and delivery. She is no doubt a visionary young lady.
Read below what she has to say about her challenges, progress and the future of her business, Tisennah's Touch.
CAN WE MEET YOU ?
I’m Ms. Titilope Adekoya, CEO of Tisennah’s Touch
TELL US ABOUT YOUR EDUCATION AND FAMILY BACKGROUND
I’m an undergraduate of University of Lagos, Faculty of Art, Department of English, 400L. 2nd in a family of 5 with 2 step sisters.
WHY CHOOSE TO BECOME A MAKE UP ARTISTE ?
I love to play with colors and makeup is a gateway to expressing myself.
WHAT CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT YOUR MAKE UP OUTFIT AND HOW DID YOU GET YOUR BUSINESS NAME?
Tisennah’s Touch is much more than just a makeup outfit. We are a seasoned unique, one stop beauty shop. We pride ourselves on expertise in beauty makeup, gele, special effect makeup, pedicure, manicure, nails, spa and hair styling. The business name was birth from combinations of my names Titi, Seun and Hannah (Tisennah).
CHALLENGES YOU FACED WHEN STARTING UP
Starting up wasn’t as swift as I thought it would be. I initially had issues with finances getting my kits. Maintaining and growing 3-5 clients I started with was a major challenge as i had to do several follow-up to keep them coming back. After a few months, we started getting referrals and client-base gradually increases. The journey is still far but we are earnestly matching on.
CHALLENGES YOU FACE NOW
Quality Product with reasonable price is a major challenge. Too many fake products out there. We are however selective on products we use which are majorly on client’s request.
HOW DID YOU START, WHO IS YOUR MENTOR AND WHO INSPIRED YOU ?
I stared by working on myself, friends and family. They motivated me by referring their friends, positive comments and feedback gave me the zeal to do more and that is how I got paid for doing what I love. I decided to convert it into business and went for professional training with Ewabela makeup, Oni-gele and BN beauty.
My inspiration cut-across: fashion, travel, history, culture, plants and nature. My mentor is Mrs. Bimpe Onokoya, Meybelline ambassador.
YOUR HIGHEST AND LOWEST PAID JOBS ?
My lowest paid job was N2,000 and my highest so far is N55,000
WHAT DO YOU REALLY ENJOY ABOUT YOUR JOB ?
The feeling before, during and after revealing my client’s inner beauty and the excitement on their face after a good job well done gives me joy unspeakable.
WHAT IS UNIQUE ABOUT YOU THAT WILL MAKE PEOPLE WANT TO PATRONIZE YOU ?
I am a seasoned cosmetologist and I pride myself in the ability to bring out the beauty you.
WHAT ELSE CAN YOU DO APART FROM MAKE-UP ?
Outside Tisennah Touch, I am a real estate consultant.
