Kelly Massol abandoned by her mother: her beautiful revenge with her brand Les Secrets de Loly!

Behind every great brand often lies a unique story. Kelly Massol’s story began in 2009 with 1,500 euros in her pocket and a belief: women with curly, frizzy, and kinky hair deserved products designed specifically for them. Fifteen years later, this French woman has become one of the most influential figures in the beauty industry.

However, nothing indicated that she would end up living this success story. Kelly Massol was abandoned by her mother at six months old. She lost her grandmother, who had taken her in, at eleven. Four years later, the teenager requested to be placed in a foster family to get by. Her uncle Marc was still there for her. He nicknamed her Loly and believed in her. It is in his honor that she gave her brand this name.

“The Secrets of Loly,” a brand born from a lack

Noticing the gaping void in cosmetic offerings for textured hair, she decided to take matters into her own hands. From her kitchen, the woman who appeared on “Who Wants to Be My Associate?” conducted tests. Kelly sold online while still working at Social Security. When her employer asked her to choose between her job and her project, she resigned in 2012.

The bold bet paid off. The brand gradually established itself as an essential reference, now distributed in nearly 6,000 points of sale in France and internationally. The numbers speak for themselves: 23.9 million euros in turnover in 2023, around 35 million in 2024, 200 million euros projected for 2025. A trajectory that commands respect.

An estimated fortune of 80 million euros

This entrepreneurial ascent naturally translates into financial terms. According to several estimates reported by the economic press, Kelly Massol’s personal fortune would currently be around 80 million euros, mostly thanks to her brand “The Secrets of Loly.” In addition to this, she earns income from her conference appearances, for which she openly states her fee: “Today, I say it without blushing: I charge 20,000 euros per hour.”

“The Secrets of Loly” is sold in 56 countries and 4,000 points of sale. On top of that, Kelly Massol has launched a hairdressing school in Paris. It goes to show, one must always believe in their dreams and see their projects through to the end. It can change an entire life!
