Deco Beauty founder Julianna Dahbura is on the Female Founder World podcast with Jasmine Garnsworthy this week.
In 2016 Julianna started a nail polish brand with the hopes of building a direct-to-consumer business. This was the Glossier-era, besties, so relying e-commerce only and building a business on Instagram was very exciting. And although she was doing 8-figures in revenue with her biz Deco Beauty, Julianna realized quickly that nail polish was more of an impulse purchase than an online purchase. In 2020 she thought of a brilliant pivot... and it paid off in a big way.
Since pivoting, she's 3x'ed the already successful business, has launched in retailers like Urban Outfitters, JC Penny, Anthropologie and Free People, and has done collab products with brands like Hello Kitty, Tower28, and Lisa Says Gah.
Listen in for the full scoop, how Julianna made a major change in the direction of her business, how she's working on licensing deals to grow her biz, and her unique strategy for retail in 2024.

tbh skincare founder Rachael Wilde is on the Female Founder World podcast with Jasmine Garnsworthy!
Coming from a medical background, Rachael had no desire to start her own business until she came across an insane opportunity to license a patented acne treatment and turn it into a brand. She jumped on the idea at 23-years-old back in 2019, and has since built one of the buzziest new beauty brands on the planet.
Rach's the queen of building brand hype and backing it up with brilliant formulas. After a $4000 launch day, tbh skincare did $800,000 in revenue in their first 18 months, and now sell a bottle of cleanser every minute.
This brand constantly goes viral, and I asked Rach all about it in this episode.
Listen in for the full story, how Rachael successfully merged tbh skincare with another business, how they've grown an incredible retail presence, and their influencer strategy.

Nancy Twine, the founder of Briogeo, is on the Female Founder World podcast with Jasmine Garnsworthy!
