TEEN CEO

Thank you for visiting LeannasHair.com 

My name is Leanna Archer; I am 13 years old, I’m in 8th grade . I am currently living my dream as a CEO of Leanna’s Inc., a hair and body care products that I started when I was 9 years old in Long Island NY. Since a young age, my mom put a hair pomade that my great grandmother created and as I grew older, it became obvious to me that the compliments that I was receiving from strangers about my beautiful locks had something to do with the pomade, the more I thought about it the more it became obvious that making this recipe available could benefit both me and the potential customers. But I had to find a way to convince my parents not only to listen to my idea but to also help me accomplish it.

At first when I brought it to their attention, the response that I got was “it’s a great idea but we don’t have time or the knowledge about running a business”.  I was told to wait when I get older, but I was convinced that anyone using this product would have the same result that I was getting. So what I did was, every time my great grandmother makes a batch of hair products, I would take some samples in a Gerber food jar to my friends with the pomade and sure enough my strategy worked.  The response was almost immediate; we started getting phone calls and people sending checks for larger amounts.  Now I had enough ammunition to convince my parents to help me.  My research on the internet on how to obtain a business license and a Tax I D was already completed; I gave them to my parents. They were so impressed that the next sentence out of their mouth was “what are we going to call this company”, I said Leanna’s and that was it.

In June 2005, Leanna’s Inc. was created and started selling Hair and Body products that consist of a Hair dressing, Hair Dressing with Shea Butter, Hair Oil Treatment, Shampoo, Conditioner, Deep Conditioner, Moisturizing Hair Mist, Pure Shea Butter for the skin, Scented Hand and Body lotions, Facial Mask, French Green Clay Mask, Scented Dead Sea Salts. My products can be used on any types of hair no matter what your ethnic background is.

Currently Leanna’s Inc. is has a full line of hair products available on the internet, at some Health Food Stores and at some beauty salons.  We currently have a Kid’s Rep. Program where I make it very easy for kids my age to sell my products with their parent’s help anywhere in the US. The information is available on my website.
I continue to do research to improve my current products and work on new ones.
I am currently responsible for the creations and development of my products.  My customer’s satisfaction is my biggest priority and motivation.  With the help of my father, my brothers, my mother, it makes it easier to make products, pack and ship products all over the US and beyond.

Leanna’s Inc.’s success is well on the path that I was hoping it would be. My success is the reason that I reached out to kids all over America.  I travel the country giving speeches to motivate kids and young adults and while doing that, I have been interviewed by various Newspapers, magazines and television shows.

Thank you
