Moodeaux is led by founder and CEO Brianna Arps.
What was your company’s biggest achievement in the past year? Receiving beauty industry recognition in the form of nominations, awards and acceptance into competitive accelerators and inching closer to our first $1 million in total revenue make up Moodeaux's biggest achievements within the past year. In particular, Moodeaux was honored with a "Future of Beauty" award by Elle, while our founder and CEO Brianna Arps was named "Beauty Boss of the Year" by Essence alongside our "Best in Black Beauty" award win.
