Founder Friday: I put this on my vision board in 2015 🥹

At the time, Hairbrella was barely a company. I had an idea, some very rough prototypes and far more faith than proof that this could become what I imagined.

With 921% three-year revenue growth, Hairbrella has been named one of the fastest-growing private companies in the country. And because we ranked in the top 500, we are officially an Inc. 500 company.

Reaching this level as a Black woman founder means a lot to me because I know exactly what it took to get here. But I also know there is no #383 without the people who helped build Hairbrella alongside me.

Every customer who took a chance on us, came back, told a friend, left a review, sent a DM - or told us exactly what needed fixing. 😂 Every team member, investor, retail partner, friend and family member who believed in the vision and kept pushing with us.

You helped put Hairbrella on this list.

And since we’re celebrating, the timing feels especially meaningful.

August is Black Business Month, and each year we celebrate by appreciating the people who helped us become an Inc. 500 company: you.

Customer Appreciation Week officially kicks off Monday, and we’ve set aside 1,500 codes for $20 OFF.

But before we open it up to everyone else, I asked the team to reserve the first 250 for my Founder Friday community.

So consider this your early access. Grab whatever has been sitting in your cart, something you’ve been waiting to try- or your backup Hairbrella because apparently one is never enough. 😉

Thank you for helping turn something I once imagined into something very, very real.

#383. We did that. 🧡

Happy Founder Friday!

P.S. Something else has been on my heart lately. As Hairbrella grows, I want that growth to create more opportunities for talented people in our community, too. There is so much incredible talent in transition right now—particularly among Black women—and I’ve been thinking about how Hairbrella can create more doors as we build what’s next.

We’re currently looking to connect with content creators, product testers, social/content talent, growth marketers and experienced leaders across finance and operations. Some opportunities will be projects, some partnerships and some full-time roles.

If one of those sounds like you—or you simply want to be considered for future opportunities with Hairbrella.

I don’t have every piece of the community we’re building figured out yet, but I know it’s time to start building the community.
