Summary

"Taking Back The Black Hair Care Industry"

The beauty supply industry is a 15 billion dollar industry and 85% of that revenue is generated by Black consumers. We own less than 3% of the beauty supply stores and many of the Black hair care products are not Black owned. Devin Robinson owns several beauty supply stores and has been instrumental in helping to opening over 70 more Black owned beauty supply stores. Devin founded the Beauty Supply Institute where he teaches Black entrepreneurs how to successfully open and manage beauty their own stores. This is a must listen.
