MEET DRE, THE VISIONARY BEHIND DRE’S BEAUTY SUPPLY

Andrea "Dre" Harvey is more than just the founder of Dre’s Beauty Supply — she’s a woman whose journey is as inspiring as the community she’s building. Raised in Newark after moving from Trinidad and Tobago with her family, Dre’s story is one of hustle, heart, and determination. With a strong foundation built on family and real estate (thanks to her parents’ savvy investments and entrepreneurial spirit), Dre always knew the value of long-term planning. But it wasn’t until she had the chance to study, live abroad, and expand her world through the Wight Foundation Scholarship Program that she truly realized the possibilities available to her.

Fast forward to Dre’s early career, where she worked in government contracting. It was here that her natural talent for organization and leadership caught the eye of her manager, who encouraged her to tap into her strengths. Dre, ever the visionary, took this advice to heart, deciding that she wanted to be the change she wanted to see — a change rooted in community, beauty, and wellness.

So, Dre decided to make it happen. Armed with experience, a passion for business, and a love for Newark, she set out to create a beauty supply store unlike any other — a space for Black women to feel seen, supported, and celebrated.

When the pandemic gave her the chance to move back home, Dre took a leap and invested in real estate with her family. She spent over a year fixing up properties, sacrificing social time for something bigger — generational wealth. She’s now on a mission to bring that same spirit of empowerment to Dre’s Beauty Supply, with a focus on uplifting the community and making beauty and wellness accessible to all.

Dre’s inspiration comes from trailblazers like Nancy Twine, the founder of BRIOGEO, whose journey from a high-powered stock market career to building a clean beauty empire mirrors Dre’s own shift toward purpose-driven work. Dre is building a life that makes sense for her, and with Dre’s Beauty Supply, she’s doing the same for Newark’s beauty lovers.
