Ep. 175: From Setbacks to Success: Charlisa Harris' Journey Of Rebuilding Mylani Beauty From Scratch

On this episode of the Friends in Beauty Podcast I welcome Charlisa Harris, Hair Stylist & CEO of Mylani Beauty & Vegan Haircare to the Friends in Beauty guest chair. 

Mylani Beauty was founded out of care and necessity. As a mother of 3, Charlisa struggled to find products that were suitable for their various hair and skincare needs. Most importantly, it was hard to find products that didn't contain known toxins and ingredients linked to hormonal imbalances and carcinogens.

As a stylist, she also found difficulty when recommending products to her clients to sustain their needs. None of the suggestions seemed right, and most were filled with harmful ingredients. Unfortunately, that was all the market had to offer at the time. With that void in mind, she thought it was best to use her expertise to create a product that not only would she feel comfortable in recommending, but one that she could use to care for her clients' in her salon.

This is what gave birth to the Mylani suite of products.

I had such a great time chatting with Charlisa! In this interview she shares:

-How being fired from multiple jobs ultimately led to her opening her own salon

-How her whole product line was stolen from her and she had to start over from scratch

-The inspiration behind creating Mylani Beauty

-If all stylists should diversify their income with products 

-How its been growing a salon and beauty brand simultaneously

-The conspiracy behind the beauty supply stores placed in black communities 

-The importance of investing in yourself and so much
