You know, women have been wearing 81 00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:21,360 Speaker 1: lace wigs since the thirties, and I've been actually doing 82 00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:24,679 Speaker 1: lace weeks in the movie industry since the nineties early nineties. 83 00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:28,560 Speaker 1: And it kind of caught on after I think Tyra 84 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:31,080 Speaker 1: Banks and be honest, kind of let the cat out 85 00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:34,880 Speaker 1: of the bag because their their hairstyles put laces wigs 86 00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:38,359 Speaker 1: on them and they looked incredible, and women want to know, 87 00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:40,120 Speaker 1: Oh my god, a woman hair to looked like that 88 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:42,400 Speaker 1: because it was blowing in the wind. You could see 89 00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:44,360 Speaker 1: scalp and it looked like it was going out of 90 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:47,960 Speaker 1: this scalp. So they wanted that, and so it created 91 00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:51,560 Speaker 1: such a demand. So that's what people want now. And 92 00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:53,920 Speaker 1: because when you put a lace wig on and you 93 00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:56,120 Speaker 1: blue it on properly, it looks like it's going out 94 00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:59,440 Speaker 1: of your scale. Okay, a male so helping, would you 95 00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:01,760 Speaker 1: say the word blew it on? Well, you have to. 96 00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:05,320 Speaker 1: What they do. It comes with a very fine lace 97 00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:08,560 Speaker 1: that you can see through, and they take one hair 98 00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:10,680 Speaker 1: at a time and they when they do what you 99 00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:13,719 Speaker 1: call ventilate. If we ventilate the hair through that lace 100 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:17,080 Speaker 1: so that it matches your skin tone, they died and 101 00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:19,120 Speaker 1: they died to look at your skin toe. So when you. 102 00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:21,480 Speaker 1: When we glue it, it's a clear glue and it 103 00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:23,920 Speaker 1: dries and it clear. It's clear and it and it's 104 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,440 Speaker 1: like it looks like your skin. So when we when 105 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:28,360 Speaker 1: we glue it to your like forehead, it looks like 106 00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:31,200 Speaker 1: it's hair growing out of your skin. So it's it 107 00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:34,520 Speaker 1: just mimics your skin and hair. So it looks like 108 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:37,520 Speaker 1: like like you might have gotten hair. Well you don't 109 00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:39,640 Speaker 1: have it. If you don't have edges, you can you 110 00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:42,200 Speaker 1: can just have edges. Now, my next courtion will be 111 00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:47,960 Speaker 1: can you wear that? Usually it was designed to wear 112 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,159 Speaker 1: it like put it on, take it off in the 113 00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:54,400 Speaker 1: movie industry, but with the commercial success of these wigs, 114 00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:58,200 Speaker 1: they've gotten so many different glues that you can wear 115 00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:00,640 Speaker 1: it for a week to two weeks without taking it off. 116 00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:04,920 Speaker 1: Now because they've made they've made better glues.

Well, tell us about your wig collection. Okay, cool, 124 00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:32,680 Speaker 1: Well you know my weird collection. What I did, I mean, 125 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:34,800 Speaker 1: everybody's doing wigs, but you know, I wanted to do 126 00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:41,159 Speaker 1: wigs that were, um going to be custom, and um, 127 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:43,599 Speaker 1: I like to do wigs that are custom hairline because 128 00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:46,840 Speaker 1: sometimes the hairline on on the wigs that manufacturers make 129 00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:51,359 Speaker 1: they don't match our hairlines. They're sometimes they're like really 130 00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:54,360 Speaker 1: straight hairlines and they don't look real. Uh, they don't 131 00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:57,039 Speaker 1: have widow speaks, they don't have the temple area is 132 00:06:57,080 --> 00:07:00,240 Speaker 1: not matching, and certain things that these little new wants. 133 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:04,680 Speaker 1: It makes it not look real. And I I like, 134 00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:06,560 Speaker 1: I like hair to look real. And so a lot 135 00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:09,080 Speaker 1: of times what I do with some of my wigs is, um, 136 00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:14,840 Speaker 1: I will ventilate kinky hair around the edges. And what 137 00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:17,760 Speaker 1: I do is because you know, nobody's hair is bones straight, 138 00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:20,440 Speaker 1: especially I especial black women. You know, they got they 139 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:25,160 Speaker 1: got edges and well it's baby hair or some of them, 140 00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:26,560 Speaker 1: but some of them got the edges. Now you know, 141 00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:29,080 Speaker 1: some of these women got edges, they got they got 142 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:31,640 Speaker 1: that who makes you dunct you stuff? You know it's like, 143 00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:34,960 Speaker 1: so you know, you gotta you gotta do with that. 144 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:37,760 Speaker 1: And they have a lot of kinky textures. You know, 145 00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:39,760 Speaker 1: some of these women got these kinky textures and they 146 00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:41,920 Speaker 1: want to put this European hairy and it doesn't match. 147 00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:44,920 Speaker 1: So I like using different textures. I like using the 148 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,440 Speaker 1: kinky textures, like put kicky edges in. And what I 149 00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:48,800 Speaker 1: do is I put them in, but I used the 150 00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:51,000 Speaker 1: pressing home to press them so it makes it look real. 151 00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:54,040 Speaker 1: So that's that's that's that's where I do. That almost 152 00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:57,880 Speaker 1: feels custom. It is custom. So when you get those 153 00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:00,240 Speaker 1: kinky edges and you put that present home on, you 154 00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:02,360 Speaker 1: know it's gonna look like, okay, it looks like your edges. 155 00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:05,320 Speaker 1: You ain't gotta do the baby had okay, because it's 156 00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:07,680 Speaker 1: gonna look like your real edges. And if you started 157 00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:09,920 Speaker 1: the perspie them things gonna they're gonna start kicking up, 158 00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:14,440 Speaker 1: like you know, it really takes it to another level. 159 00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:18,120 Speaker 1: It makes it look more authentic. Now, that's that's a vision, okay. 160 00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:20,600 Speaker 1: Now when when when you ever you start a vision, 161 00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:24,160 Speaker 1: people always question, why are you gonna do that? Just 162 00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:27,120 Speaker 1: what everybody else is doing? How did you walk through that? Well, 163 00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:30,040 Speaker 1: you know what, it's just like I was doing. I've 164 00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:33,240 Speaker 1: been doing weeks in movies.

And 335 00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:53,760 Speaker 1: so when one comes into your beauty ball, what is 336 00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:56,880 Speaker 1: the expectation of a client.

And as a as a you know, 351 00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:39,280 Speaker 1: you had all this just experience, you had this reputation. 352 00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:42,440 Speaker 1: Why did you trust yourself enough to be an entrepreneur 353 00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:46,000 Speaker 1: and a brick and mortar. Well, you know what, my 354 00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:48,680 Speaker 1: mother owned a beauty salon in Charlotte, and I came 355 00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:51,000 Speaker 1: up in the salon, you know, when I was as 356 00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:52,760 Speaker 1: far as I can remember, She's always had a salon 357 00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:57,359 Speaker 1: and I just I just had the entrepreneur spirit through 358 00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:03,120 Speaker 1: uh heredity. Right. So I've always been I've always sold something. 359 00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:06,480 Speaker 1: Even as a child. I grew up selling see selling 360 00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:10,840 Speaker 1: candy selling uh Mary Kay. As a teenagers selling, I 361 00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:13,159 Speaker 1: even so try to sell wigs. I worked in the 362 00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:15,120 Speaker 1: wig shop when I was when I was a teenager, 363 00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:17,720 Speaker 1: like fifteen, I would I would cut afros in the 364 00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:20,119 Speaker 1: team in a wig shop. Just I worked in his 365 00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:23,400 Speaker 1: Korean wickshop downtown Charlotte. I would cut afros. This lead. 366 00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:25,119 Speaker 1: I would go by there every day and watch this 367 00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:27,520 Speaker 1: koreer and cut these afros. And she she got time. 368 00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:30,000 Speaker 1: She said, let me show you how to cut, to cut, 369 00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:31,560 Speaker 1: and she gave me a job. And then then she 370 00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:33,280 Speaker 1: showed me how to do shin yawns and taught me 371 00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:34,919 Speaker 1: how to do stuff before I even got out of 372 00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:37,360 Speaker 1: high school. So it's just been, uh, it's just been 373 00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:41,400 Speaker 1: in me to do that. When did you start trusting yourself? 374 00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:45,000 Speaker 1: Because the reason I say that is that I remember 375 00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:48,120 Speaker 1: that I can't cut anybody's hair. That's I mean, that's 376 00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:51,280 Speaker 1: a nerve racking experience. You know, people think that's simple. 377 00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:54,000 Speaker 1: Somebody's gonna sit in your chair and then you have 378 00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:56,680 Speaker 1: a razor and you have to cut their hair. Why 379 00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:59,399 Speaker 1: don't you start trusting yours? You know, I always believe 380 00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:01,880 Speaker 1: I could do it, and I always tried to do it, 381 00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:04,560 Speaker 1: but I never trusted myself until I went to beauty 382 00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:08,040 Speaker 1: school and really got all of the fundamentals. And then 383 00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:11,640 Speaker 1: once I got that, it's like I took off, I 384 00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:14,920 Speaker 1: like perfected everything I was. I was already doing hair 385 00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:17,320 Speaker 1: and straightening hair at home and doing this. But once 386 00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:20,840 Speaker 1: I learned how to do the cutting and the styling 387 00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:22,800 Speaker 1: and the blow drying and the and the chemical stuff. 388 00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:25,440 Speaker 1: Once I learned that, you know, the sky was the limit. 389 00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:27,920 Speaker 1: So what do the mistakes that the young stylers do 390 00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:29,800 Speaker 1: or people get in the business. What are the mistakes 391 00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:34,120 Speaker 1: the mistakes they do is they stop educating themselves. They 392 00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:37,959 Speaker 1: stopped learning, They stopped They think once they get out 393 00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:40,240 Speaker 1: of beauty school they know it all. They think they 394 00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:43,560 Speaker 1: stopped learning, and what happens is they get left behind. 395 00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:47,439 Speaker 1: They left behind. In technology, things are different now, you know, 396 00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:49,439 Speaker 1: people I used to use the oven and stuff that. 397 00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:52,120 Speaker 1: You know, the ovens is past, say now you gotta 398 00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:55,159 Speaker 1: use the ceramic. Guys, you know, you gotta change with 399 00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:57,359 Speaker 1: the times. If you don't change, you're gonna be behind. 400 00:19:57,760 --> 00:19:59,560 Speaker 1: You know, you gotta stay educated, You gotta keep going 401 00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:02,239 Speaker 1: to class.
