Meet Funmi Ekpereh | Owner and Professional Wig Stylist | Karis Hair Collection, LLC

We had the good fortune of connecting with Funmi Ekpereh and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Funmi, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
Thank you for having me. Starting a business is a profound journey that requires passion and dedication. Through identifying my client’s demand and understanding the target audience, I embarked on this entrepreneurial journey with a clear vision and purpose. In a saturated market, it is essential to differentiate oneself from competitors. Apart from custom wigs I also provide wig maintenance services, giving my customers the feel of having a salon look at home with their wigs refreshed and styled hassle-free.

Wigs, with their ability to serve as protective style and boost self-esteem captivated me. Understanding the impact they could have on people’s lives, I developed a profound interest and enthusiasm for wigs and wig care as a means of self-expression and empowerment. This became the driving force behind my decision to embark on this business venture.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I spend my time crafting unique wigs that enhance people’s appearances and boost their confidence. From selecting quality materials to customizing styles, my work involves a delicate balance of creativity and precision. Offering wig maintenance and customized wig services is one of Karis Hair Collection’s distinguishing factor. We offer our clients consultations prior to their appointments to understand their specific needs, preferences, and style. We then create bespoke wigs tailored to their requirements.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
A few of my favorite spots in Atlanta for nice food and cocktails are Cuts Steakhouse, Luciano’s Ristorante Italiano, and Frankie’s Steakhouse. They all have elegant ambience, authentic Italian dishes with live music, selection of steaks cut to perfection, and extensive wine selection.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I thank God for the tremendous success and blessings he bestowed upon my business, and for that I am eternally grateful.

Building a successful business is not a solo endeavor, and I firmly believe in acknowledging the support of those who have played a significant role in my business growth. It’s really hard to narrow this down to one person, but I am truly grateful to all Karis Hair Collection clients who choose to patronize my business by allowing me to fulfill their needs. Their feedbacks, suggestions, and word-of-mouth recommendations are invaluable in shaping my business and fueling its growth. I am thankful for the constant love and support from my family and friends in navigating business challenges and celebrating my successes.
