HUMBLE BEGINNINGS:
Growing up in Liberia, West Africa, my neighbor Mary used to ask me to do her hair and would pay me $0.50 cents. She told me that I have a gift and that she will pray for me to go to America because in America people can make a lot of money for their gifts.
Fast forward to America in June of 1994 while working as a model, my hair was thick and very kinky. I went to the salon to get it done and the hairstylist did not know what to do with my hair and they persuaded me to relax it.
After a year of relaxing my hair, one day I looked at myself in the mirror and said to myself, if you do not stop relaxing your hair you will go bald by the time you’re 50 years old. I stopped and I started braiding my hair while I was in college instead. My classmates liked the way I braided my hair and one of them asked me to braid hers. She came to my townhome on Brickell Ave and I did her hair for ten hours. She paid me $40 plus a $10 tip, which at the time was a lot of money for me. Fast forward a year later I took this inspiration and started to go to beauty school.
When I entered beauty school, I saw the need for healthy hair products. I saw how damaging the hair products they were using in the school were, and I felt like dropping out because the chemicals in the products were too strong for human beings to be around for a long time day in day out. I told myself that I like doing hair, and so I was going to make a safe product line that will be healthy for mankind someday.
After beauty school I worked for Vidal Sasoon, before I started working for myself. This is when I began to develop the ingredients for my products but I did not have the money to test and protect them, so I created a secondary ingredients and gave it to a manufacturing company called trademark cosmetics. They took my ingredients and formulated poor quality products for me, but also made a product line called “Kinky Curly” from my ingredients & ideas and sold it in whole foods.
OVERCOMING CHALLENGES:
I went to a lawyer to see if I could take legal action, but there was nothing that could be done. I was so hurt, I remember when I was leaving my lawyer’s office, I was crying very hard telling myself I will make all my products by myself and I am glad I did not give them my real ingredients. I was just crying saying they will not win. I went to my salon and closed for the rest of the day, but after this I went home and ordered my first ingredients. I remember it was $247.58 and I made my first nine jars of the 2oz jar hair growth treatment. I sold it to my clients and reinvested the money I made.
During this time I perfected my knowledge, becoming a hair and scalp scientist in the U.S. and a self taught herbalist, developing my entire product line with organic ingredients. I first tested my products on myself and my salon clients. Encouraged by good results, I began selling in a farmers market and placement in salons and retail stores to carry my products.
A PATENTED FORMULA TO REVOLUTIONIZE HAIR CARE:
Before my first official raw materials order, I was buying all the ingredients from the supermarket and I would chop, mix and beat everything together in a bowl for about fifteen minutes for each client before I applying it on their hair for those years while I was experimenting with the formula. With this foundation, the ingredients in my products work like food for your hair.
Learning from my past, and understanding how precious my ingredients & formula are, I patented my product formula, as well as obtaining a Vegan Certification (Cruelty-Free, Organic, Sustainably Sourced) for all of the ingredients. The hair care industry, acquaintances, former friends & colleagues have attempted to learn my secrets, but protecting this formula has been a massive & revolutionary step in bringing Sayblee Products to market
