Building a hair empire isn’t easy. However, Tinesha Sharpe, CEO/founder of The Vanity Box, was determined to make her mark in the trillion dollar hair care industry, despite not having an MBA or receiving help from a small business loan or grant.
Originally from New Jersey and Georgia, she arrived in New York City in 2012, infused with a determination and passion to start a hair company. At one point, she was homeless, selling premium virgin human hair extensions from the trunk of her 1987 Saturn.
Eventually, the Vanity Box took off and by the time she was 25, the young mogul managed to build her dream into a multi-million dollar beauty empire earning her a comparison to the late, great self-made millionaire, Madam C.J. Walker.
Today, The Vanity Box is the fastest growing and most popular brand in the urban hair and beauty category with a massive online following and three vibrant retail boutiques in Harlem, Brooklyn and Queens and more to come.
The Vanity Box prides itself on not only selling the finest steam-textured virgin human hair, which can be dyed, but also being an empowering lifestyle brand. Their customer service creates a compelling shopping experience minus the luxurious price tag.
