We’ve always known that health and wellness played a major role in beauty. But our conversation with Giulia Tom has confirmed it. Working on a new project for a medical DNA testing clinic, our conversation with this Romanian influencer, model and beauty coach was certainly very illuminating. Read on to know her refreshing take on fashion, beauty and wellness.
“My life has been full of challenges, yet the feeling of overcoming those challenges is very satisfying.”
A very warm welcome to you Giulia, L’Officiel is excited to have you. Please tell us a little bit about yourself, your passions, and your hobbies.
Hi, my name is Giulia, I am the owner of two innovative beauty clinics, as well as developing a new project for a medical DNA testing clinic. The clinics are located in Knightsbridge (opposite Harrods) and Belgravia. As for my hobbies and passions, I can say that I enjoy working and helping people gain peace of mind, by studying DNA analysis, and cancer genetic tests, and providing them with the best services across London – that is from a medical point of view. As for aesthetics, we provide them with top experts in the beauty industry, with years of combined experience and knowledge in non-surgical procedures and aesthetics.
We’ve noticed your hat has many feathers in it – influencer, model, entrepreneur, and beauty coach. May we ask from where did this journey begin?
My philosophy has always been that in order to be truly satisfied in life, I must find a real passion, something that motivates me. I have been asked many times how I managed to accomplish so much. Well, there’s no secret here, it’s just hard work and perseverance. Rather than waiting to finish my studies to decide what I would become in life, I built myself while I was studying. I began searching for my purpose in life since I was a child. Throughout the years, I have worked in many fields and my goal was to prepare myself for a successful career in business. My life has been full of challenges, yet the feeling of overcoming those challenges is very satisfying.
As we’ve heard, you hold a fascination with the aspects of the fashion industry. Tell us a bit more about it, and what attracts you the most about it?
For me, fashion represents life, a way of expressing oneself without using words. I feel most alive and engaged when I wear something that makes me feel more…creative, more interesting, stronger, complicated. When you attend an interview, go to the grocery store or a wedding, you need a pair of pants, a shirt, and shoes. Our clothes are how we present ourselves to the world. Changing my wardrobe is the fastest way to feel as if everything is new again. I have previously worked as a model for Harper’s Bazaar, FHM, Cosmopolitan, Forbes, and other magazines. I enjoy modelling as a hobby. Furthermore, I have always been inspired by fashion designers and decided to experiment myself in a new work environment. With the launch of my own men’s contemporary fashion label Alchemy (@alchemy_lab), I am bringing a new sense of style to men.

Given that you lead such a hectic lifestyle, what do you feel is the key to entrepreneurial success?
It’s the fact that I don’t see it as a business. I see what I do as a lifestyle and the majority of my earnings I invest back into the business. My journey was not an easy one. It takes time and lots of effort to grow a business. Throughout our journey, we will likely face a number of challenges, but one needs to embrace and learn from them with confidence. We have built a team by qualifying people according to their human qualities and we always prioritize the needs of our clients. I would say that that is my key to success.
You have a background in both, health, and beauty. What do you feel is the connection between both? Can you elaborate a bit about it?
It is a time when beauty, health, and wellness are intertwined. Beauty begins on the inside. It’s a reflection of good health that comes from good digestion, healthy eating habits, and lifestyle, but we also need to keep in mind our genetic factors. By taking charge of your healthcare, you can detect any problems at an early stage and treat them when they are still treatable. Now I’m becoming more focused on wellness and physical health. We even provide genetic testing service, and my mission is to make high-quality low-cost cancer genetic testing available to as many people as possible. I strive to contribute significantly to the health of people by ensuring that they have access to world-class medicines when they need them, providing the best healthcare treatments available in London, anyone can have a peak on our website DNA Test Centre in Central London UK London DNA Testing (londondnaclinic.com).

You’ve been looking for innovations in the beauty industry. What are your latest plans for that? Continuing that thought, could you give us a little more details on your upcoming projects as well?
In an era of constant change, companies must maintain and improve their offerings and experiences in order to meet the changing needs of their consumers. Customer experience is an essential component of this, and that is why I am investing all my efforts not only in preparing a business plan for growth but, also in making it beneficial for our clients.
