About Dr. Joe L. Dudley, Sr.
Dudley, born May 9, 1937, is the fifth of 11 children born to Gilmer L. and Clara Yeates of Aurora, North Carolina. Joe was retained in the first grade, labeled mentally retarded, and suffered a speech impediment. His mother never stopped believing in him and is responsible for his overcoming these obstacles.
In 1957, he invested $10 in a sales kit and began selling Fuller Products (owned by SB Fuller) door-to-door. One of Mr. Fuller’s goals, which Joe Dudley adopted, is to help people to maximize their potential and achieve success.
From 1967 through 2008, Joe L. Dudley, Sr. & Eunice Dudley led Dudley Products Company to be listed in the top 50 in Black Enterprise Magazine’s Top 100 Black-Owned Businesses. Throughout his tenure, Dudley Cosmetology University in Kernersville, NC and 4 strategically located schools in the Dudley Beauty School System (DBSS) were created.
Through dedication, hard work, and persistence, he helped take the DudleyQ+ Brand from very humble beginnings to a respected and world-renowned position in the Beauty Industry.
In June 2008, Joe & Eunice Dudley restructured the company and turned it over to their daughter, Ursula Dudley Oglesby who began Dudley Beauty Corp, LLC.
