About Mary Kay Ash

Mary Kay Ash, an American businesswoman, founded Mary Kay Cosmetics in 1963 with $5,000 of her life savings and the help of her son Richard. The company was originally called "Beauty by Mary Kay" and was launched in a small storefront in downtown Dallas, Texas. Ash's goal was to provide women with the opportunity to become financially independent and pursue their dreams. Her business model, which allowed women to build their own businesses by selling Mary Kay products directly to consumers, revolutionized the cosmetics industry. Ash's other innovations included incentive programs, and the concept of the "career car".

Why I Choose Mary Kay?

In the not-so-distant past, I found myself in a situation that many of us have experienced: struggling with debt. The weight of financial stress was heavy on my shoulders, and I knew I needed a change, a fresh start, and a way to regain control over my life. That’s when I discovered Mary Kay.

I had always admired the Mary Kay brand from afar. I loved their commitment to empowering women and their top-notch beauty products. However, I never imagined I would become a part of it. One day, while attending my first Mary Kay party I decided to join so I could get my products 50% off. My now ,Sales Director Lafreda Williams spoke of the flexibility, the supportive community, and the potential to earn an income that could help me tackle my debt. So, I decided to take a chance to see if I can really change my life for the better.
