At 14, Julian delved into cosmetology, and in 2001, she opened her first salon, “Creations Plus,” in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota, at the age of 22. Despite detours into corporate America for 13 years and earning a business degree, Julian’s passion for entrepreneurship persisted.

In 2012, Julian founded Bella Kinks, an event and digital marketing platform that connected natural hair influencers with global brands. The success of Bella Kinks culminated in the annual Bella Kinks Expo, drawing thousands of attendees and brands. However, Julian’s focus shifted in 2018 when she dedicated herself entirely to her new venture, Adwoa Beauty®, founded in October 2017.
