Top 30 Personalities Disrupting The Beauty Industry In 2022

The beauty industry has experienced a great shift since the past year, and it would be safe to assume that after a challenging year, the industry is finally bouncing back. When it comes to beauty treatments, success is defined by a distinctive omnichannel customer experience while prioritizing inclusivity and sustainability. Whether it is concerned with skincare to color cosmetics, personal care, fragrances, cosmetic treatments, or hair care, experts across the world have changed the whole outlook of beauty for society and are delivering beyond perfect results for their customers.

The standards of each industry are represented by its experts, and there is no surprise, the beauty industry has been producing skilled and expert beauty technicians each year. If you are wondering who they are, look no further, because below we have created a list of the leading beauty experts in the beauty industry who are redefining the beauty standards with their committed efforts.

Amanda D’Andrea 

Amanda is a mother and business women from Melbourne, Australia. She started her small business from home before moving into her own warehouse. She is taking the beauty industry by storm and is helping people around the world begin new careers and improves existing eyelash extension businesses to achieve their dreams through her online eyelash extension course and her global online lash supply store which generated 7 figures in its 1st year.
As a lash artist, business owner, entrepreneur, and educator Amanda applies her experience to coach her students towards personal empowerment and thriving careers. She is the founder of the successful beauty brand Giali Lashes. Amanda is one of the worlds leading eyelash extension suppliers and her in depth online training course featuring 30+ videos is now teaching others how to become successful by showing students exactly how she did it.

Dr. Giovanni Isabella

The DimagriAmo Method is a nutritional education that allows the patient to definitively say goodbye to any diet because it modifies the patient’s psychology, with a conscious diet approach.

His patients not only lose weight but shape their bodies and look in the mirror again with love and trust, all without being forced to exercise, and without the aid of supplements, pills, etc. Dr. Giovanni helps people all over the world through online consultancy by transforming ordinary people into beautiful and radiant swans.

McKenzie Turley

McKenzie Turley is the founder and creator of Invisible Bead Extensions®️. As a successful hairstylist and trained hair extension artist, she found a need in the hair industry for an extension method that truly was comfortable, safe, and discreet for the woman wearing it.  After intensive research and development, her extension method was created. Within a few short months of showing the first glimpse of her creation on Instagram, she realized she had something the industry had never before seen and needed to quickly scale her education platform to include a virtual option. Little did she know, 7 months later, Covid would completely shut down the hair industry and leave stylists searching for online education while they were required to stay at home.
Since it’s creation in 2019, and during a global pandemic, her company has grown to include a world-wide network of thousands of stylists in 9 different countries who all received training through her unique virtual education platform.

Dr. Med. Bouraoui Kotti  

If we have to define Dr. Kotti, ‘Disruptor’ will probably be the best description. He’s certainly a world renowned plastic surgeon tirelessly jumping between 2 flights and different operating theaters in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Tunis, but he’s, first of all, an innovator in the beauty industry and not only in the medical field.

Being the first non-European graduate recognized by the European board of plastic surgery, the first ISAPS National Secretary for his country and the first official plastic surgeon in the only anti-cancer center in Tunisia are some examples of his leadership to straggly open new doors, conquer new unpracticed areas and leave them easy to use for others after his escape to more complicated but always exciting new adventures. 

His new challenge of creating the Breast App. A smartphone solution for breast condition earned him this distinction in our journal. We wish him a good continuation with the app and also with his very promising cosmetic brand Č like Čedra Cosmetics. His book is a must-read for breast lovers and experts too.
