In this episode of The DTC Insider podcast, Brian Roisentul sat down with Victoria Melnyk, co-founder of Sunbabe Hair.
Launched in 2018 with her sister, Sunbabe offers women a natural, gradual approach to hair lightening, inspired by their own teenage experiences with bleaching. Frustrated by the damaging and costly salon processes, Victoria sought a healthier alternative to achieve sun-kissed highlights.
Emphasizing beauty as a reflection of lifestyle, Sunbabe has grown to serve over 200,000 customers. Victoria also leads the brand's art direction, focusing on visual storytelling to communicate Sunbabe's essence. Today, we'll explore her entrepreneurial journey, the challenges of scaling a lean team, and her vision for the future of haircare.
