Lisa Price Launches Carol’s Daughter In Paris

Lisa Price, the woman behind the hugely successful skin and hair brand Carol’s Daughter who catapulted her business from her kitchen to nine stores across America, is set to branch out (again) by teaming up with Solange Knowles to launch a natural hair blog, Transitioning Movement, and a store opening in London.

Price is making moves to further strategize her best efforts to continue on as the accepted brand for natural heads. Though the go-to brand, she seems to understand that continuously enticing consumers and embarking on diverse groups of users is a necessity for brand survival.

With an upstart of $100 dollars, a true love for products, and a need for the perfect moisturizer, Lisa was setting herself up for the-rest-is-history tale.

“It was definitely a hobby at first,” Lisa recalls to Aaron Task for Yahoo News ‘Driven’ series. “I was just experimenting in the kitchen like you would with a food recipe. I was really trying to find the ultimate moisturizer. I was making things for friends and family.”

Fast-forward to an appearance on The Tyra Show, her sales sky-rocketed and her business would see numbers unlike before. After teaming up with advertising executive Steve Stoute who bridged her with a celebrity platform, Price was more secure with her business as a survivable solid brand.

“It was such an amazing experience and an amazing thing for the brand that just changed the trajectory of it,” Lisa said.

A few weeks ago, Carol’s Daughter released a teaser video for their new site, Transitioning Movement, which will help individuals who are new to rocking their natural coils.

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
