Hello my name is Fatondra Gardner and I’m the CEO of The Hair Executive and Flawless Girl Hair Extensions. I hold a Bachelor’s Degree from the University of Memphis and a MBA from Cumberland University. I have taught several clients how to turn their passion into profit and gain passive income. I embarked on my journey in the hair industry in 2015 by opening my first hair business called Tresses of Me. When I started in this industry 7 years ago, I struggled to get information. I started from absolute scratch and learned through trial and error. I changed vendors, packaging, and my brand constantly and even lost customers along the way. I finally found my niche in the market and after re-branding, been able to grow a profitable hair extension company all while working a 9-5. I started my entrepreneur journey having to learn as I go, with no one providing me with tools and resources that could help better my experience. However, I’m thankful for the blood, sweat, and tears; the setbacks and failures; and the good and the bad of owning a business in the hair industry. I realize now that I went through all of this so you don’t have to.
