Five years ago, I was selling out of the trunk of my car. Now, my products are stocked in multiple beauty supply stores and even featured on Walmart.com. If you’re wondering how to go from home-based hustle to retail-ready, let me break it down.
1. I Focused on Results
Before trying to get in stores, I made sure my products actually worked. My customers saw visible results in 14-30 days—and word spread fast. That organic buzz was the first step.
2. I Created Shelf-Ready Packaging
No handwritten labels. I invested in professional packaging that could stand next to major brands and still catch your eye.
3. I Walked In with Confidence (and a Plan)
My first pitch wasn’t perfect, but I was prepared. I brought samples, pricing, and a short script that explained who I was, what made my products different, and how fast they were selling.
4. I Made It Easy for Store Owners
I offered free local delivery on the first orders, kept my wholesale prices clear, and made reordering simple.
5. I Stayed Consistent
Even when I got discouraged, I kept pitching. One “yes” turned into two stores, then five, and the rest is history.

Let me be real: this is bigger than hair products. This is legacy-building. And if I can do it with two hands, a baby on my hip, and a dream—so can you.
