Celebrate Natural Texture in Austin!
by CurlStylist on Monday, March 8, 2010
Since October 2009, curlies everywhere have participated in NaturallyCurly.com’s Grow-Out Challenge—a journey of hair transition sponsored by Miss Jessie’s, a hair care collection developed specifically for naturally curly, kinky and wavy hair. The challenge is about to come full circle with our Natural Hair Celebration that not only marks the culmination of the Grow-Out Challenge, but also invites people with all hair types to come and embrace their natural hair’s beauty, no matter the style or texture.
“Our Grow-Out Challenge invited men and women to embark on the sometimes difficult, yet completely rewarding challenge of going natural,” explains Michelle Breyer, co-founder of NaturallyCurly.com. “For six months, participants posted videos and blogged about their experiences of going natural. We’re honoring their courage and dedication with an event that not only celebrates natural hair, but also commends them on their hard work for half the year.”
The Grow-Out Challenge began in October 2009 and will end March 31, 2010. During that time, Miss Jessie’s awarded more than $3,600 worth of products to the participants who showed the most gumption and dedication on this journey of transition. Our members blogged poetically about their transitioning challenges, also submitting pictures and videos. Winners received personalized hair “prescriptions” and Miss Jessie’s products that fit their individual hair needs.
Our Natural Hair Celebration will give attendees useful information from our online community and from a brands that understands your specific hair needs. Sisters, business partners and the founders of Miss Jessie’s, Titi and Miko Branch, will be present at the event to speak, answer questions and perform full demos on five ladies. The event will also include food and refreshments, product sales and talk time with Titi and Miko, as well as the staff of NaturallyCurly.com.
The Natural Hair Celebration will be held on Sunday, April 25, 2010, from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. at the Avenue Five Institute beauty school in Austin.

Business Building Techniques Begin having frequent staff meetings and collaborate on business building techniques used by others that you work with. Every salon has success right inside. Get the top booker to explain how they do it. Pair the weakest with the strongest and let them work next to each other. They can learn from what they hear and see. Do the same with retail sales. Share the ways that the top stay on top. Geno Stampora, Stampora Consulting Inc. |
