Inspiring Conversations with AnTranette Leach of The Great Collection

Today we’d like to introduce you to AnTranette Leach.

Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
Hair has always been something I’ve been interested in. From the colors, the different styles, different lengths, etc. I began doing hair when I was in high school. I was very insecure, so the only time I felt happy was when I changed my hair color. Hair became a speciality of mine as years went on. I decided that since I was so in love with hair, I wanted the world to feel the same love I did. I just had to grow enough momentum to start my very own. The Great Collection began in June 2019, going into my sophomore year of college. It was easy to build clientele because I was known for my hairstyles. I fell in love even more with making everyone else around me feel and look beautiful. At the time, I was only selling bundles, wigs, and lashes. Now here we are a major rebrand later with more hair products such as hair glue, lace remover, hair combs, and much more.

Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
It has not always been an easy route to success. Being in the hair industry, there are many women who has a love for hair just as much as I do. Sometimes starting out, you are spending more money than you are making with trying to market and draw in customers. In addition, doing hair is not a short task, so doing hair can become very time-consuming where you are then distracted from other things in your daily life.

Appreciate you sharing that. What should we know about The Great Collection?
The Great Collection is a brand that represents beauty. The Great Collection was created to ensure that everyone embraces their inner beauty. Being able to be aligned with your inner self allows you to never let your crown tilt or fall. The Great Collection is The Greatest Crown You Could Ever Have. The Great Collections includes bundles, wigs, hair products, hot tools and much more. I, AnTranette Leach, is the CEO of The Great Collection. My specialty is coloring and styling wigs for women of many ages. What makes me the happiest about my brand is that not only family and friends look forward to my work, so does complete strangers. It’s like I built a family through my social media because of my hair business. I have shipped to more than 10 states and sold over 15 wigs in a month.

Any advice for finding a mentor or networking in general?
Networking is extremely important when having a “social media” business. It’s best to collaborate with many associates with the same interests as you. Sharing, commenting, and promoting people is a kind act to do because not only is it helpful for your business. That major support is often returned. With networking, it allows your work to get indoors you could never imagine. In all honesty, I have never had a mentor because many people try to hide the treasure of having a successful hair business. I do believe everyone’s business works differently. Find different niches, marketing tools, promotions, etc and your business will go a long way. Always know who your target audience is.
