Gillis in an exclusive interview with this magazine related that being in the beauty business was no surprise, since it was something that grabbed her attention ever since she was younger.

“I was inspired by two things, when I was younger and going to the salon, I always loved that feeling you get when your hair is all up you get that extra spark. I realised it was something I loved. When my family and friends would ask me to do their hair, I would always be happy to do so,” she told this magazine.

Gillis added that soon after she realised that this was something she wanted to pursue, she went about developing her knowledge and skills in hair artistry. She went to Trinidad where she did her first hair course and this set her on the path to becoming an entrepreneur. She decided to open her own business back in 2018.
