Today we’d like to introduce you to Linsey Brewster.
Hi Linsey, so excited to have you on the platform. So, before we get into questions about your work life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today.
So, I moved to Cypress, Texas, 7 years ago from South Florida, and I noticed upon my arrival to Cypress, Texas, that there were not a lot of beauty supply stores in the area. I also had 7 kids, and getting to the beauty supply store was not easy, especially when it wasn’t close. So, I started thinking to myself about how I could this be easier for me to get my beauty supplies. So, I started planning and thinking of my idea. Covid set me back, which probably would have been the ideal time to start, but it all worked out. So, in 2022 I started planning and writing my business plan I got approved for the loan. I started buying my inventory and creating my website. I started by selling the products out of the trunk of my car before creating a space in my house for my products. I then renovated my shed in November to make it my warehouse. Business was going so well that I decided to open a storefront in February of 2024. So, I opened the store Feb 19th, 2024. Hair2you is Houston 1st of its kind mobile beauty supply. We offer free same-day delivery as well as in-person shopping and order-a-head pick-up
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
I think I had personal challenges along the way, feeling motivated. In 2022 I went through a depression, and it really set back feeling motivated to succeed and push the myself to get the business going.
It has also been some challenges along the way. Especially as I opened the storefront. Other than my small business loan, I have self-funded 90% of my business. This makes it difficult at times when the business has slow day and trying to stay afloat.
I also work 2 jobs in addition to running my business, which present challenges itself because I’m not able to give 100% all the time to my business.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next, you can tell us a bit more about your business.
My business is a mobile beauty supply store that I founded with a passion for bringing convenience and quality to the beauty industry. Our unique concept revolves around offering multiple convenient options for our customers to access their favorite beauty products. Whether it’s through in-person shopping at our mobile store, ordering ahead for pickup, or enjoying the convenience of free delivery, we aim to cater to the diverse needs and preferences of our clientele.
Our journey began with a vision to redefine the traditional beauty shopping experience by making it more accessible and convenient for everyone. We recognized the need for a more flexible approach that accommodates busy schedules and diverse lifestyles. As a result, we transformed the conventional brick-and-mortar model into a mobile platform that brings beauty products directly to our customers.
Through our mobile beauty supply store, we aim to empower individuals to look and feel their best, regardless of their location or schedule constraints. We are committed to offering a curated selection of high-quality beauty products, personalized customer service, and innovative shopping solutions that prioritize convenience without compromising on quality.
As we continue to grow and evolve, our mission remains steadfast: to revolutionize the beauty industry by providing unparalleled convenience, accessibility, and quality to our valued customers.
What sets my business apart in the beauty supply industry is our commitment to providing unparalleled convenience and service to our customers. Unlike other beauty supply stores, we offer free same-day delivery to customers within Houston. This means that our clients can enjoy the convenience of having their favorite beauty products delivered directly to their doorstep without any additional cost or delay.
Additionally, our mobile beauty supply store is the first of its kind in the city, offering a unique and innovative shopping experience. By bringing our store directly to our customers, we eliminate the need for them to travel to a physical location, saving them time and effort. This approach not only enhances convenience but also allows us to reach a wider audience and serve customers who may not have access to traditional brick-and-mortar stores.
I take immense pride in the remarkable growth my brand has achieved in such a short period. It’s truly gratifying to see the positive impact my business has had on the community and the enthusiastic response from satisfied customers. The abundance of excellent reviews, particularly those glowing 5-star ratings, serves as a testament to the dedication and hard work that has gone into building my brand.
Furthermore, these reviews play a pivotal role in shaping the reputation and credibility of my brand, helping to attract new customers and build trust within the community. As I reflect on the journey of my brand and the milestones achieved thus far, I am filled with a deep sense of pride and gratitude for the support and loyalty of my customers. Their positive experiences and kind words fuel my determination to uphold the highest standards of quality and customer satisfaction, driving the continued growth and success of my brand.
We’d be interested to hear your thoughts on luck and what role, if any, you feel it’s played for you.
I don’t believe luck has played any part of my life or business. Instead, I base it solely on my faith and what God has done for me. I am strong in my faith, and I see my business as a gift from God. I feel like God continues to be faithful in my business, and I’m excited about where it will go.
