Yes. That's a hit. How did you end up finding what would be that secret sauce to make it special? It was headliners, right?
Luxuriate a little.
So, yeah. Well, I think that's part of it. It doesn't necessarily have to be reinventing the wheel. And that's important for people to hear because right now I think it's in the authenticity that you find your originality. Exactly. It is what is so, so pure and true to you. So you found something that you wanted to plug a hole for. Look, I remember... me with all my hair growing up. Oh, my gosh.
And my mom would have to drop me off at the hair salon. And I would. I would sit there for three to four hours for them to press and curl my hair. And that was, I'm talking like at the age of 13. Right.
Hearing a lot of things you should not be hearing. That you should not be hearing. Absolutely. You should have no visibility. Right. So right out of the gate, Headliners was successful, correct?
I'm so curious how you go from in Texas, starting the hair salon, having the girls there, and then all these years later, evolving this into now Sacred, which is incredible. And I mean, just the accolades. Why did you want to start something else?
And you deserve the rest.
That is a testament. I mean, even on suits. I was on suits for seven years. And I remember so many other actresses, especially if you're in that grind. Yes. They said, you are going to fry your hair. And everyone was recommending that I should start wearing wigs. I never ended up doing it. By the way, if I was in that industry longer... I understand why you need to protect your hair in that way.
Yeah. Or even if you don't curl your hair every day, just natural UV rays and sun damage. Our hair is like our skin. We are exposed to all sorts of things that need extra care. And I think that's what Sacred has started to really tap into, that it's not a unique position that you need to take. It's just holistic hair care.
I know. Trust me. Do you know why I know? Because when you're talking about consumables, even jam... Yes, because you're doing food. Yes, you go, it has the same restriction, not the same, but very similar restrictions and nuance as when you're looking at FDA, as when you're looking at compliance for beauty, people that do skincare and sun creams and all of that.
I think, oh my, we all have this level of constant... stress testing the product and you can say, oh, I made this in my house, like you with your egg whites and your olive oil. And I'm going, I just picked these strawberries and it's so great. Look, I just put a little bit of sugar and some Meyer lemon.
And you try to scale that up and you're wanting to manage expectations, but you want to share the thing you've worked so hard on. And so for me at the moment with As Ever, it was great. We plan, we plan for a year, we get, and then everything sells out in 45 minutes, which yes,
Then what do you do? And then you say, okay, we planned as best as we could. Are we going to replenish and sell out again in an hour? Or is that annoying as a customer? I'm looking at it and saying, just pause. That happened. Let's wait until we are... Ready to go. Completely stable and we have everything we need. I go through the same thing.
Right, where you're trying to just balance inventory, cost. Yes. I mean, at least our things are shelf stable. Yes.
It's a part. They see all the flashy stuff and they see the product. But that end game, I think you're right. Those behind the scenes moments, how many tears I've shed. Yes.
Yeah, I think that scarcity mentality at the beginning might be a hook for people, not dissimilar to a sneaker drop.
But when you're talking about products that you need to be consistent with are foods that you want to provide to your family. I don't want you to eat that jam once every six months. I want that to be on your shelf all the time. You want us to wash our hair with these products all the time.
So trying to keep up with that demand, I think, is something that's really helpful for people to have that insight on no matter who you are, that That part of the process as an entrepreneur is not easy, that numbers game.
And I know that in the pages of your new memoir, Matriarch, you delve into so many of these elements, growing a business, but also juggling that with the very personal element of your life as a wife, as a mother. So I'm curious, what is one of the key takeaways you want people to have from the stories in there?
But I didn't. But 70 years young, I mean, look at you. And I think there's such a wisdom that comes with that kind of life experience.
