This picture is from the set of my biggest business accomplishment to date. Pretty Hair premiered the first infomercial for hair extensions produced, directed and owned by an African-American and that person just so happened to be me, Maja Sly.
As a child I always loved infomercials. I loved the way you could buy things and you didn’t have to leave your home. Watching those 20-30 minutes shows made me dream that one day I’d be on television.
Well, I landed on television with WeTV’s hit reality show, Cutting it in the ATL. The show became a fan favorite and followed the lives of five beauty bosses in Atlanta, GA. I must say, that I was hesitant to do reality television, but I have to admit that it’s the BEST DECISION I’ve ever made for my business. The platform was amazing and grew not only my salon chain of Walk-in Weaves, but it also exploded my online business for hair extensions, Pretty Hair.
