BUILDING A WIG BIZ & CONQUERING THE FEAR OF HAIR LOSS | DOMINIQUE DIBENEDETTO | SALON OWNER + WIG SPECIALIST + EDUCATOR | AURA HAIR CO | SOUTH FL
Tune in to hear Dominique DiBenedetto (@hairbydomd) from Aura Hair Co. and Wigs by Dominique share how she built a wig business and conquered her fear of hair loss!
KEY TAKEAWAYS:
-- The wig industry has a lot of room for disruption (education, supply chain, and cut/color for clients).
-- There is an 80% failure rate of hair recovery treatments (& $$$$$$)!
-- I make wigs for myself which helps me make them for other people.
-- Wigs should not be taboo when extensions are not!
-- Started the wig business because people wanted their wigs colored after seeing her on social media.
-- I had lots of insecurity about wearing a wig, but when I let people know, I received so much support and the need from others came like a wave.
-- WIG companies can be responsibly sourced, scammers, or exploitative…DO YOUR RESEARCH
