STARTING UP

Omolola, a Nigerian beauty entrepreneur with a B.Sc. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Lagos, is the Founder and Creative-Lead for Sooo Pro Cosmetics, a beauty brand focused on inspiring confidence and stability in women and showcasing Africa internationally.

Her curiosity for makeup, hunger for meaning and passion for teaching, which urged her to start out in December 2016 as a YouTube self-taught makeup influencer, has evolved into a fast-growing multifaceted brand driven by growth and recognized for delivering excellence consistently locally and internationally

WHERE WE'RE AT

From organizing free masterclasses and makeup sessions early 2017, she moved on to running two studios for 2 years whilst organizing trainings in different Nigerian states, and international masterclasses in USA and UK. In 2019, she setup a Sooo Pro Beauty Place in Lekki that features a makeup studio, training academy, production factory, and hostel that accommodates international students.

She has impacted over 1000 women (and men) locally and internationally through her trainings and has sold over 2000 products whilst managing 2 stores in Lekki, Lagos. Her latest product – The Lip Luster – which was created in 2020, sold out its first 1000 pieces in few weeks despite the pandemic.

Overseeing the business with 10 employees and some interns, she has worked with over 1000 loyal clients; trained at-least 500 students offline and over 5,000 online; created 9 unique products sold in over 10 countries.

She continues to push the boundaries, and recently – August – launched Sooo Braided, a hair braiding company that has catered to 60 clients so far.
