From Dorm Room Hustle to Beauty Industry Trailblazer: The QTress Beauty Story
In 2023, while juggling lectures, exams, and campus life, Queen-Esther Okundonor didn’t just dream – she delivered. During her final year of undergraduate studies, Queen-Esther founded QTress Beauty Supplies from the four walls of her university dorm room, turning a personal passion into a bold movement.
Motivated by her love for helping others feel confident and express themselves through hair and beauty, she recognized a pressing need: her friends, family, and community were constantly struggling to access affordable, quality hair and beauty products especially those tailored for Black and racialized individuals. She turned that challenge into purpose.
QTress Beauty Supplies was born not only to solve a problem but to empower a community. With an innovative twist, the brand offers 24/7 product access via beauty vending machines and an expansive online store delivering convenience, accessibility, and confidence right to their customers’ fingertips.
But it doesn’t stop at beauty. With every purchase, QTress is giving back by contributing a portion of its profits toward reducing food insecurity. It’s beauty with impact.
What started as a dorm room dream has grown into a socially-conscious beauty supply business redefining how we shop, support, and show up for our communities. QTress isn’t just selling products – they’re creating a movement.
