JESSICURL “Now we’re available in Nigeria!” says Jessicurl founder Jessica McGuinty. In 11 years, the one-time home kitchen operation has built into a bustling West End Road operation devoted to helping and holding the hair of curlies around the world. Jessicurl has just added a twelfth hair care product to its arsenal: Spiralicious. “It’s great for a humid climate like ours,” vows JESSICA McGUINTY FOUNDER/OWNER McGuinty. Jessicurl staff are regulars at natural hair conventions like Atlanta’s annual Fro Fashion Week. Several years ago, Jessicurl became the darling of the AfricanAmerican natural hair movement after getting the nod from influential blogs.

MAD RIVER BREWING CO. Few local beer enthusiasts would have anticipated Bob Smith’s (not pictured) love of home brewing to lead to a quarter-century Blue Lake institution, but a commitment to quality and hand-craft techniques has Mad River Brewing Company celebrating its 25th anniversary at the same—albeit expanded —riverside Blue Lake facility. Having built out its brewing, bottling and DYLAN SCHATZ ownership to a group of HEAD BREWMASTER local shareholders, MRBCo. is making strides on a successful tasting room with a dining service in the works. Mad River cornerstones Steelhead Extra Pale Ale and Jamaica Red regularly medal at the Great American Brew Fest and the heralded World Beer Competition. Today, MRBCo. lines are distributed in 28 states, as far east as New York and Florida.
