Show Notes
Gail Federici was the co-founder and CEO of the iconic brand John Frieda and has leveraged her experience to build her latest venture, Color Wow, a professional hair-care line geared towards color-treated hair. Gail has always strived to have break throughs in the beauty industry and has zero interest in ever following a path paved by another creator. At John Frieda, Gail was the first to design products that combatted frizz. Eventually selling the business for over $450 million long before beauty acquisitions were a common thing. After a couple years, Gail eventually launched Color Wow, which is a collection of problem-solving products geared towards colored hair. In a wide - ranging interview together, we talk about her life before her success as an entrepreneur and being in the music industry to how she came to launch a business of her own. Gail also shares how being a mother was a perspective shift for her and drove a lot of her future success.
