#GNHPushYourHustle: Beautigail Essentials – Where Beauty Becomes a Memorable Statement

Some businesses are born out of strategy; others are born out of love. For Funmilayo Asanre, founder of Beautigail Essentials, it was both—love for beauty, creativity, and the family push that transformed a passion into a brand where every look becomes a memorable statement.

Funmilayo Asanre – Founder, Beautigail Essentials

Her journey began in 2013 with a natural love for everything hair and beauty. In 2015, just three months into university, her school went on strike. Instead of waiting idly, she used that break to sharpen her hair-making skills with the encouragement of her mum and sister. That decision became the foundation of her career. Shortly after, her boss encouraged her to explore makeup artistry. Funmilayo embraced the challenge, and it expanded her craft into a new dimension.

Balancing classes and building a business was demanding, but consistency carried her through. Each client, each gele, each face beat became part of her story. Over the years, Funmilayo established Beautigail Essentials as a trusted name, known for flawless makeup looks, elegant gele styling, and braided wigs that combine beauty with convenience. She continues to nurture her dream of expanding into selling makeup and hair products, building a complete beauty experience for her clients.

Creativity defines her work. Funmilayo gives each client a look that reflects their personality and leaves them confident and radiant. She attributes her gift to God’s grace, affirming that it is the true source of her success. Her services reach women from all walks of life, brides on their wedding day, celebrants stepping out in style, professionals seeking polish, and everyday women who want to feel beautiful effortlessly.

A defining milestone in her journey was winning the GeleExpo Competition, an achievement that validated her craft and introduced her work to a wider audience. For Funmilayo, it was more than a trophy,it was confirmation that her brand had a place on the big stage.
