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

Hi Antonia, is there something that you feel is most responsible for your success?
The most important factor behind the success of my brand are my CUSTOMERS! I literally enjoy what I do every day. I have fun creating custom units for people and them loving the results. I have always loved doing my own hair. So to be able to do someone else’s and see the smile on their face afterwards literally keeps me going!

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
Thinking back to when I decided to start my own hair business, I thought it would just be a small side hustle. I never imagined making custom units, or actually installing the custom units for people. I did not like the fact that sometimes when I would get my hair done, the stylist would pick and choose who’s hair they wanted to “GO OFF” on. So, I decided to channel that energy into making sure that I always gave quality and my best work to each and every customer.

Being an entrepreneur is not easy by any means. There are days when I get sales and DAYS that I don’t. It is very easy to get discouraged if you do not have a steady customer base. Instead of giving up, I always PRAY and ask God to show me ways on how I can market differently, or come up with different strategies to gain sales. I have to always remember that it does not happen over night. If you love what you do, it will show. Keep promoting. Regardless if you get 1000 likes or 0. THEY SEE YOU!

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
I would definitely take my girl to Milk and Honey and the Roof at Ponce City Market

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
