De’Shaun Chancy, CEO, and President of Dare To Have Hair, Inc, Dare Care, Founder of Daring Business Besties, and three-time self-published Author.

Dare To Have Hair Inc. was established in 2012 by De’Shaun Chancy soon after being laid off from her job in corporate America. She dedicated eight years of her life to her career and was forced to start over. The burgeoning entrepreneur humbly asked for a $300 investment to launch her virgin hair care company Dare To Have Hair, Inc... In her first year, she made $368,000 in sales. In her second year, she reached $1,000,000 in sales.

Since launching her hair brand Dare to Have Hair in 2012, the Delaware-based entrepreneur has been taking the hair industry by storm. Her line of quality wigs and extensions have been featured on celebrities like Lizzo, Ming Lee & Kimora Lee Simmons, Dreezy, De’Arra, and Blac Chyna to name a few. DARE has also been featured in notable award shows like the American Music Awards and the 2020 Grammy Awards. De’Shaun's story has been featured in Fashion Bomb Daily and many more notable publications.

In 2019, Dare To Have Hair was recognized by Delaware business times as one of the 50 fastest-growing companies in Delaware.

A three-time published author, De'Shaun's first book, “The Truth Behind the DARE,” highlights the uncomfortable truth about her life as an adolescent that covers a wide range of topics such as overcoming childhood sexual abuse and becoming your true authentic self. She contributes her self-determination as a mother, wife, and businesswoman. De’Shaun utilizes her business platform to empower women entrepreneurs to believe in themselves wholeheartedly, to stop playing small; and to make a difference in the world no matter where they come from or what they have been through in life.
