037: The 3 Month Ecommerce YouTube Profit Formula – Alex Ikonn, Luxy Hair
Posted by on September 18, 2014
Alex Ikonn is the founder of Luxy Hair, a 7-figure ecommerce business.
His company was built entirely through YouTube Marketing, making them one of Shopify’s Top 10 ecommerce Stores by Revenue in 2011 and 2012.
Luxy Hair is a customer-centric hair extensions ecommerce retailer. The business was born when his wife Mimi was looking for hair extensions for their wedding but wasn’t able to find what she was looking for.
