Today we’d like to introduce you to Whitney Brooks.
So, before we jump into specific questions about the business, why don’t you give us some details about you and your story.
I have been into hair extensions since high school. But, I never thought to actually get into the hair business and sell bundles. About a year ago, I decided to jump into the hair business. At first, I thought it was going to be a walk in the park… LOL, I was wrong! Finding the perfect quality hair is one of the difficult tasks along with marketing, advertising, and other things that you have to put into a business. I remained motivated, spent money on different hair to test it out, and never settled for mediocre hair. I wanted THE best! A year later, in March of 2019, I launched my website. Business has been doing really well!
We’re always bombarded by how great it is to pursue your passion, etc. – but we’ve spoken with enough people to know that it’s not always easy. Overall, would you say things have been easy for you?
A smooth road? Absolutely not. However, it is a learning experience. Starting a business is a humbling experience too. You get real feedback from customers. It’s not sugar-coated either. For any woman that is looking to start their journey, here’s some advice: 1) DO NOT be afraid to go get what you want! Have faith and trust that God will lead you. 2) Never let “no” stop you! Keep going. 3) If you’re looking to start a business, get into something you’re passionate about. Don’t do it just for the money. When you’re passionate about the product or service you’re providing, it makes a difference.
So, as you know, we’re impressed with Flawless Beautique – tell our readers more, for example, what you’re most proud of and what sets you apart from others.
I am the owner of Flawless Beautique. We offer quality Brazilian bundles, closures, transparent lace frontals, and full lace wigs at an affordable cost. Who said you had to break the bank to look flawless?!
I am most proud that I can provide affordable, low priced hair to ladies who may be “balling on a budget” or in college or just don’t have money like that to spend on hair. We (women) love to keep our hair done so, why not provide hair that’s great quality, lasts for a year or longer and is sold for a great price?!
I think what sets me apart from others is that I am all about giving the customers what THEY want, not what I want. I am continuously asking ladies, “what is it that you look for in a hair company?” I am also very big on customer service. That is so important to me. Customer service to me includes shipping time and responding to customers in a timely manner. I think I have almost mastered that aspect.
Often it feels as if the media, by and large, is only focused on the obstacles faced by women, but we feel it’s important to also look for the opportunities. In your view, are there opportunities that you see that women are particularly well positioned for?
There are lots of opportunities for women. Women in my generation (I am 25), we don’t let the answer no discourage us. We are taking over in the business world. We are constantly educating ourselves, learning new things, applying ourselves and winning! There are challenges but we not worried about that. We are STRONG, HARD WORKING AND DEDICATED.
