The pandemic has brought a lot of problems, especially to new businesses. Restrictions have made it hard for small businesses to survive. However, amidst the difficulties, one haircare brand has established itself and is becoming more popular among beauty enthusiasts.
[Ju Poppin](https://jupoppin.com/) is a haircare brand launched and owned by Gillian Garcia. She is a hairstylist, educator, content creator, and serial entrepreneur. Gillian is the face of the new trend of healthy hair in the beauty industry. She was born in Trinidad and Tobago and later moved to the United States of America looking for a bright future. She is thankful for all the opportunities that have put her in the position she is in now.
Her love for the service of others is what pushed her as a hairstylist. Her passion and love for making her clients feel fabulous and look lovely are what puts her brand in the spotlight.
Growing up, Gillian did not dream of becoming a hairstylist. When her grandmother died, it changed her life forever. She had her initial education in haircare from Hairanns Hair School in San Fernando, Trinidad. She realized that it was her calling to be a hairstylist. She wanted to use her skills and be a change in the world, hence became a hairstylist.
She is a firm believer in divine intervention. Having been thrown into the chaos of life at a young age, her belief in God has been her source of strength and will to move forward. She believes that God directed her path and put her in the place where she needed to be when things were tough and she felt lost. This became the pillar of her identity as a person and as a businesswoman. She works hard and trusts the process because she has the faith that she will be successful when she follows her passion and leaves the rest to God.
Her positive attitude and skills as a hairstylist helped shape the brand, Ju Poppin. Despite launching the haircare brand right before the pandemic lockdown, Gillian found success as more and more people loved her products. It’s her aim to bring back the healthy hair trend through organic products that deliver only the best results.
The brand recently gained a lot of momentum and doesn’t seem to be stopping anytime soon. Ju Poppin has a [YouTube channel](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxlDh2nd6aQjBqsoWvw3gdA/videos) for beauty enthusiasts to check out interesting and useful videos on hair care. Gillian’s passion and love for hairstyling can be seen in the videos on the channel. There are over 100k subscribers to the YouTube channel and this number is constantly growing.
Gillian loves the fact that she is able to showcase her passion and love for hairstyling. It was through her will and drive to succeed that led her to the path she is creating for herself with Ju Poppin.
Although many hardships came her way, they all served as lessons for a bright future that she took advantage of. She has a vision of establishing a brand that brings back healthy hair and makes men and women feel good about themselves.
