Yes, and these products, ingredients are the most important thing to me.

So we make sure that we put some really great ingredients in there.

This one has thyme, honey, and hibiscus.

That smells awesome.

It wasn't hard to start at all because I started as a stylist.

And basically my clients were asking me, you know, what do I put on my hair?

You know, after I finished it here, I can send them to the store to get anything.

There was nothing there.

So that was my key, my cue to, you know, find out, find a chemist and, you know, find a, create a product line that I could sell to my customers.

So that wasn't hard.

I sold it to my customers directly.

Then I wanted to sell it to salons, you know, so I wanted it to be like professional, like the Black Paul Mitchell.

That's what was really popular back then.

And that didn't work out.

Salons, you know, they have not really learned retail enough.

And so I said, well, I need to, you know, just get these products everywhere so people can buy them.

And got a mentor.

And just listened and, you know, did what I was supposed to do, you know.

Absolutely.

He was a great mentor and I was a great student.
