Girl, then send me one!

I ususally don't like going into the Asian BSS stores, but there is this one near my neighborhood where the owner, speaks perfect English and knows her stuff.  She can match a weave to your hair like nobody's business, and knows what every product in her store is and what it does.  I think she just happens to have good business sense in general, Asian, African, Hispanic, White, whatever. 

But now, I buy organic, from the all white employees at the Vitamin Shoppee  and they never know what I'm looking for.  I find myself educating them on the many uses of tea tree oil.

Gurls,

hate to burst any bubbles, but this is about both including black business owners because they are not running most of the hair biz.

Well, taggi, the first post was pointing out the lack of black business owners in black hair care, and I was just giving my opinion as the thread starter asked for everyone's opinion.

If we don't care that we're not in charge of or benefit from the sale of items that we PRIMARILY finance, who should?
