460: This Side Hustler Created a Curated Beauty Supply Store and Community In Ann Arbor
Manage episode 479874868 series 2712982
This week I’m excited to chat with someone I go way back with, Sheena McCullers. Sheena is the founder of Della’s Beauty Supply. Della’s was launched to bring a much-needed sense of belonging for BIPOC beauty lovers in Ann Arbor, MI. After moving from Brooklyn, Sheena saw a need for a place for people who look like her and took a chance on opening a storefront.
In this episode she shares:
- How intentionally creating a community through word of mouth was the foundation to building her customer base
- The startup costs and how she’s been able to be profitable in the first year
- The importance of working a full-time job where she was supported enough to be transparent about needing space to focus on expanding Della’s
