Meet Katuria Bankston | Medical Aesthetician

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

Hi Katuria, every day, we about how much execution matters, but we think ideas matter as well. How did you come up with the idea for your business?
The conception of my business was truly a natural progression of being in the beauty industry for over 25 years as a Master Cosmetologist. My mother opened a hair salon in my hometown when I was about two years old and along with my older sisters, we built a real family legacy. I’ve always loved fashion and beautiful things, and although it is easy to cover our outsides with hair, make-up and clothing, it was only right that I invested in myself to learn how to properly treat our skin and body. Thus, Eunique Radiance Aesthetics & Wellness was born.

What should our readers know about your business?

I’m the owner of a Medical Spa where I specialize in beauty & wellness services, including anti-aging skincare line curated especially for POC.
I’m thrilled to be able to help my clients feel more confident and beautiful in their skin. I also love the freedom that being an entrepreneur allows me to have. At the end of a long day, I have a sense of fulfillment knowing that I’ve been a blessing to others!
Beauty & Fashion have ALWAYS been my passion! I have over 25 years of experience in this industry first as a Master Cosmetologist, thanks to my amazing Mother, who was a multiple business-owner and self-made woman. Working in our family salon taught me so many valuable skills, most importantly, a strong work ethic, exceptional communication and interpersonal skills, as well as empathy. In the beauty industry, these skills are necessary in order to set reasonable expectations and appropriate boundaries for myself and my clients.

Nothing worthwhile ever comes easy but, what I’ve realized is that becoming a licensed aesthetician was sort of a natural progression for me. I love everything beauty and wellness centered. When you love what you do, it truly never seems like “work”.

One of the most important lessons I’ve learned throughout my career is being consistent and patient. Those two qualities will take you far indeed. Also, life has taught me the importance of self-care! Self-care is necessary because there will be many circumstances throughout your journey in life where you must be patient with YOURSELF in order to truly blossom. I also advocate for mental health. Overcoming many adversities in my life has helped me to connect with my clients and share some of my experiences to encourage others. Giving yourself grace, putting GOD first and focusing solely on what you can control are also major keys.

EUNIQUE RADIANCE is all about Beauty, Health & Wellness! I worked hard to properly educate myself on various skin types/conditions to curate anti-aging products and services to promote healthy skin and bodies for all ages.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
Of course, being a health-conscious individual, I personally enjoy vegan and/or vegetarian options when dining. Here’s a couple of my favorite spots to hit when I’m not whipping it up in my kitchen: *Chattahoochee Food Works
*The Steak Market
After a great meal, there’s nothing like a little retail therapy! I love the Shoppes at Buckhead, Phipps Plaza and of course, you can never go wrong with Neiman’s or Saks.
I’d most definitely hope that when my family or friends come to visit that we can enjoy a nice outing in the city. I love interesting places like art galleries, beautiful parks and maybe a nice event at the State Farm Arena. This summer, I plan on attending the Van Gogh Exhibition, which I’m sure will be an amazing experience.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
First and foremost, I give honor and glory to The Most High God for all of his blessings! HE is my Source of strength.

Secondly, I owe everything to my late Mother, Eunice Bankston, who is the inspiration behind the name!

Also, I would love to Shoutout my only son, Joe Bankston who is my reason.
