Brothers Become Entrepreneurs in High School

MURPHY, TX - When it comes to starting a business, Corey and Brandon Wesley from Murphy, Texas are way ahead of the game.
The two are brothers who started their own line of hair products as high school students at Plano East.

"This right here is Corey's do dab," says Brandon. "His name is on the front. I'm on the back. But this is a great product."

"This is the wave pomade, the most popular one," says Corey. "This is a locking wax, and these two are shampoo and conditioner."

"He's cutting his hair constantly, every other day and always complaining about different greases, different brushes," says Brandon. "He wants waves all the time. So one day my mom said why don't you make your own product."

"Other products that I used, they were too thick so I wanted something thinner and I thought that would work," Corey says. "I told my mom and the chemist to fix it up for us and it worked."

That was the beginning of Corey do dab which they started selling on line 13 months ago at coreysdodab.com.

"At first I didn't know how it was going to work out, but as soon as it got together, it was pretty good," Corey says.

Both are active in sports and both are quarterbacks. Corey has two more years left at Plano East and is currently playing basketball.

Brandon was the quarterback at Plano East last year. Now he's the quarterback at Bucknell where he won rookie of the year honors.

The two have become celebrities in their own right, hosting product demonstrations at beauty supply houses, trying to get their product rolling. "We're the most interesting brother combination at our school," Brandon tells a small crowd at demonstration.

"For them to have the vision to want to their own product and to see it be as successful as it has been," says Renee Wesley, their mother. "They're learning great lessons."

"Most people are pretty surprised to see us come in there and have our own product," Brandon says.

They package their product at home and handling their own shipping. Through friends, they've also begun selling in California and Pennsylvania. The parents have also convinced them to save the money they make.
