Today we’d like to introduce you to Amanda Drummond.
Amanda, can you briefly walk us through your story – how you started and how you got to where you are today.
I’m actually a nurse by trade, but I’ve always been big on hair and makeup. After I had my son, purchasing beauty supply store hair became unaffordable. I then started buying virgin bundles, but I found that the quality was subpar. Pink Halo came about as a result of me wanting to provide products that are high quality but can be purchased at an affordable price. I purchased the LLC last year and began selling hair on the side. Since starting Pink Halo last year, I have been mentored by my friend Mekeya, who previously owned her own hair business. Her knowledge and expertise and the loyalty of my customers have really helped me to grow Pink Halo to where it is today.
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?
I don’t think establishing a business is ever easy. Some of the struggles I’ve had are fluctuations in sales. Finding vendors that can be trusted. There is a lot of fraudulent activity in this industry, so it’s hard to maintain consistency with regards to providing quality hair. The advice that I would give to other young women who are just starting is don’t get discouraged. Consistency in regards to promotions helps tremendously and getting and maintaining the trust of the customer is everything.
So, as you know, we’re impressed with Pink Halo Luxury Extensions – tell our readers more, for example, what you’re most proud of as a company and what sets you apart from others.
Pink halo specializes in hair extensions that are of High quality but at an affordable price. I sell wefted hair extensions, closures, frontals, wigs, and styling tools. What sets Pink Halo Luxury Extensions apart from other companies is that theme of luxury not only applies to the quality of the hair. We want the customer’s overall experience to be that of luxury. From customer service to shipping, the packaging, etc. There is no gimmick, I just want every single customer to love their hair but to be confident knowing that every single time they purchase from Pink Halo that they will get a top-notch experience from start to finish.
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?
I feel like women are well positioned for EVERY opportunity that is presented. It’s a matter of putting in the work, networking, and always being willing to learn and evolve. There is nothing wrong with rebranding. Always set new goals for yourself and a plan to reach them, and you can do whatever you set your mind to do. No limits!
