Jane Harris is the CEO and founder of The Virgin Hair Fantasy, a luxury glueless wig brand created to empower women through beauty and confidence, especially those navigating hair loss, life transitions, or identity shifts. 

What began with $500 and a dream has grown into a million-dollar business that serves women across the globe. Jane’s journey is rooted in resilience: from balancing motherhood with entrepreneurship to learning the ins and outs of e-commerce, fulfillment, and personal branding. 

Her transformation from a shy, people-pleasing introvert to a confident, high-energy entrepreneur reshaped her business and personal life, and that’s why she says mindset is the foundation of every pivot.

Today, she not only runs her successful wig company but also coaches aspiring entrepreneurs, especially women of color, on how to launch and scale their own businesses. With a mission to uplift, educate, and build financial independence for others, Jane’s work is about more than wigs; it’s about transformation from the inside out.

You’ll learn about:

  • How Jane turned a $500 seed investment into a thriving global brand.
  • Why mindset shifts and self-belief are essential for entrepreneurs.
  • The role of beauty, confidence, and authenticity in empowerment.

“Don’t think you’re going to switch on your own. You need help. We are programmed to just kind of roll with the flow. I’ve been studying mindset, and I still fall short every day because everything else kind of caters to the idea that “everyone will be rich. Everyone will be a millionaire. Everyone will walk around happy. Everyone will have everything they want. It’s only the few that I would say go that extra mile, which I’m sure when you hear this, you will get up, read a book, exercise, and read more books. That’s what changed me. I did not have money for expensive coaches at the time, but even now, as I’m in coaching programs, I needed my mindset to change first.”
