In this episode we have Marcus Bowers, Co-Founder of She's Happy Hair, in the guest chair. She's Happy Hair is the #1 Virgin Hair Supplier in the US and is a veteran-operated, black-owned business that recognized a void in the hair industry. There was a huge demand for high-quality, yet affordable human hair extensions, that many companies failed to meet. Co-founders and U.S. military veterans, Warren Broadnax and Marcus Bowers decided to fill that gap.
With a passion for entrepreneurship, She’s Happy Hair was formed in 2012. She’s Happy Hair has developed into a household name with locations across the United States.
