Hidden Gems: Meet Pailynn Moore of Pai’s Potions

Today we’d like to introduce you to Pailynn Moore.

Hi Pailynn, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
My thought process behind starting my own business was that I wanted to make an impact on people’s lives. I wanted to do something that would make people feel good as they should! I wanted to cure a problem. When I was younger, I used to be bullied in school for having short hair because my sister cut it. I began to use all these cheap products from the beauty supply store that never worked and I got so tired of it. I started researching healthy natural oils that were helpful in increasing hair growth and repairing damaged hair. I tested out a few oils and I finally came up with my Potion. I was using it for about five months and I was so shocked on how quickly and healthy my hair grew. I couldn’t wait to share it with the world! Most people in society aren’t confident with their hair and they begin to start feeding into the negativity that they hair is ugly. My goal was to change this thought. Your hair isn’t ugly, embrace the greatest gift that God gave you. I wanted to implement a product that people can benefit from and for it to also solve a problem. My natural hair care brand, “Pai’s Potions”, was designed to express to individuals that wearing your natural hair is okay. Natural beauty is the best beauty of all.

I’m sure you wouldn’t say it’s been obstacle free, but so far would you say the journey have been a fairly smooth road?
Everything isn’t always great but you have to keep going. There were times where I felt like giving up because I felt like I wasn’t doing enough but it was me doubting me. It was times when I first started out that I felt like someone wouldn’t support me but I was overthinking and pulling myself away from support.

Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your business?
I started my business to make an impact on the world, I have a point to prove. It’s not about making money, but to cure a problem and show people that no matter how bad your story is from the past, you have time to make your future the best. I always been such a helpful person and a person that someone could reach out to when they needed me. It wasn’t always the same for me but I learned from it. No, it wasn’t easy getting where I am now but I am grateful for all the obstacles I faced because it made me stronger and I am able to overcome anything. I learned from my mistakes and turned them into something positive. When people said I wasn’t going to make it through college or I’m not going to be successful, I took what they said and used it as motivation for me to go harder. They encouraged me to chase everything they said I couldn’t have. I have reached my fullest potential and I have been achieving every goal I said I would.

When I was younger, I always told myself that I was going to be self-employed when I got older. Working three jobs throughout my four years of college, I graduated with a bachelor of science in criminal justice but I won’t stop there. I’m currently a graduate student enrolled in college pursuing a master’s degree in criminal justice. I have always been a hustler. I also currently work as an independent contractor case manager. I provide skills training and support to individuals based on their behavioral needs. My current goal is to graduate in a few years, go back to school to get my doctorate and open my own forensic science laboratory. I want to achieve this goal while also being an entrepreneur and I will. You can do anything you put your mind to! Just stay consistent, devoted and your dreams will be a reality in no time. One lesson I learned throughout my journey was that everyone can’t go where you going you have to leave them behind and it’s for your own good. Sometimes you have to meet them at the top.

I specialize in restoring natural hair. I have helped people who suffered from major hair loss grow their hair back. This makes me so proud that I can solve a problem with something I used to deal with.

I have been a serial entrepreneur for 6 years and I own multiple businesses while pursuing a master’s degree. I have always been passionate about helping others achieve their dreams while still chasing hers. I am a motivational coach who encourages everyone to not give up and to keep focusing on their goals they’re destined to achieve! I am also a social media micro-influencer who influences fashion.

We’re always looking for the lessons that can be learned in any situation, including tragic ones like the Covid-19 crisis. Are there any lessons you’ve learned that you can share?
Covid-19 did impact my business, but I didn’t give up. I learned that no matter what obstacles are thrown at you, you have to keep going! There are times when you are down but the minute you give up could be the same minute you win. I didn’t let that defeat me. I knew that the world needed me, and I made sure I continued to provide the best magical hair products to my customers.
