For its luncheon on February 3, the Chinese Business Club, France’s leading business club, welcomes Kelly Massol. A familiar face on Qui veut être mon associé? (French adaptation of SharkTank TV show, ndlr) the jury member on M6’s entrepreneurial reality show is also a successful businesswoman. Through her brand Les Secrets de Loly, she has made textured hair care cool and trendy again. Harold Parisot, founder and CEO of this unmissable premium event on the Parisian entrepreneurial scene, tells us more.
Curvy and bossy, Kelly Massol’s curves are as striking as her chatty personality and self-made woman’s background in hair care products, especially when you consider that she entered the entrepreneurial world with a seed capital of just… 1,500 euros!
With her tenacity firmly anchored in her body, she has turned Les Secrets de Loly, her brand for textured hair, into a viral and commercial success, with sales set to reach 25 million euros by 2023.
Such an inspiring figure could not fail to answer the call of the Chinese Business Club lunches. As one of the few women to have taken part in the TV show Qui Veut Etre Mon Associé (French adaptation of SharkTank TV show, ndlr) with Catherine Barba and Stéphanie Delestre, she also becomes the fourth member of the show’s jury to take part in this Chinese Business Club highlight, after Anthony Bourdon, Tony Parker and Eric Larchevêque.
A model of success… from scratch
Born in Paris into a modest family, Kelly Massol was placed in foster care at the age of 15.
“By inviting this profile of guests to the Chinese Business Club, I’m keen to inspire the club’s start-ups and give them easy access to the best role models, because the quality of a network can change everything. Like Anthony Bourbon and Jonathan Anguelov, she is one of those personalities who experienced great family instability at a very young age ”, says Harold Parisot, CEO and founder of the Chinese Business Club. He adds: “Of course, their success has much more merit in itself, as fighting relentlessly in such a context to achieve their successes proves to be particularly rare.”
Unable to find healthy hair care products for natural hair at a time when Taylor Swift’s “baguette” (straight hair) blondness was taking the world by storm, she came up with the idea of creating her own brand of hair care products for textured hair in 2009.
