The mother-son duo of Nneka Slade and Kameron Coleman are on their way.
An Ohio mother and son are taking their beauty supply store imprint to greater heights.
Nneka Slade, 49, and her son Kameron Coleman, 25, own the Play Beauty Supply store located in the city of Richmond Heights. After acquiring the store in 2020, they have officially inked a deal, worth 7-figures to expand their stake in the industry across Ohio.
“We never dreamed about this happening,” Slade, told The Akron Beacon Journal per AfroTech. “We didn’t even know what was going to happen but if we failed, we were going to fail big, something like this doesn’t happen.”
In March, the mother-and-son duo acquired another beauty supply store, Star Beauty Plus, in Maple Heights. Despite the generation gap between the mother and son, the pair credits the success and growth of their business to the many lessons they’ve learned from one another throughout the process.
“She leans on me to bring in the new 21st-century ideas, the delivery, websites, marketing. It’s a balance with each other,” said Coleman of his mother.
