Early Life
Dupart was born on 12 February 1982 in New Orleans, Louisiana, USA. She was born into a middle-class household in the city's Seventh Ward to Jesse Anthony Dupart and Evelyn Dupart. She has two brothers Jesse Jr. Dupart and Damon Sr. Dupart and a sister, Jheri Dupart.
Her father served as an accountant for Shell and a local university, as well as a business person who operated a liquor shop and rental houses. Unfortunately, her father passed away in 2011. Evelyn, her mother, previously worked at the post office and had been assisting Dupart with Kaleidoscope's shipping since her retirement.
According to Dupart, her parents tried to divert her career into a different path and wanted her to become a doctor or a lawyer.
Dupart went through tough times in her teenage days. She gave birth to her first child at the age of fifteen. Two years later, she became pregnant with her second child at just 17. Her family abandoned her and she was forced out of her house during her second pregnancy.
Early Career
The multi-millionaire entrepreneur was always interested in creating different hairstyles from a very young age. Eventually, she pursued cosmetology and started her salon at 16.
Dupart started working out of her family's house before and after school, styling the hair of her classmates, relatives, acquaintances, and neighbors until she developed dedicated clients.
In 2005, Dupart moved to Houston after Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans. She had $20,000 in savings from her previous business, but she didn't have access to FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) funding. As a result, she spent it immediately to support her family's living needs.
She then set up a shop in a leased house and started fixing hair for other New Orleans clients. She started promoting her business by printing hairdo images at Kinko's and putting them throughout Houston.
In 2007, Dupart and her then-partner, Ro, launched their business and beauty salon. She started dabbling in social media marketing, publishing images, and videos on Facebook to attract customers. Slowly, they started employing local hip-hop celebrities, radio DJs, and social media influencers to attend several events at the salon.
Kaleidoscope Hair Studio / Products
At the end of 2012, she registered the name of her company as Kaleidoscope, which she got from her love of colors. The Salon first opened its doors in August 2013, with a $1,800 rent deposit (from her remaining $2,000 funds).
Over the following few months, Dupart actively worked to purchase all the materials for the salon on her own. Unfortunately, in December 2013, her business was burnt down by the fire.
Later in June 2014, she came up with Kaleidoscope hair products, which became a massive hit. Kaleidoscope's sales increased dramatically in 2018, moving from $100,000 per month at the start of the year to $1 million by the end of March. The company has exceeded $7 million in sales as of May 2019.
Dupart credits her incredible team of smart people that help her manage the Kaleidoscope Hair Products entities. In a 2020 interview with Seen Magazine, she said,
We are building and strategizing to improve efficiencies every day. For the most part, I take it one day at a time to enjoy the process and not allow it to consume me. If I ever have a moment of being overwhelmed, I simply tell God….. not sure what/why this is, but I trust you.
