Among the Virgin Islands, there is a remote island you can only access by riding in on a small dinghy lowered from a ship. The island is surrounded by cliffs, and the only way in or out is on the sole sandy beach in a small carveout. Several flags in the shape of sails are planted in the sand and flutter in the wind. If you look closely, you realize "lunch" and "dinner" are written on them. But the sun has faded the letters so much you can barely make out the letters.

It had to be the worldโs smallest restaurant; a hastily built, rudimentary hut. There was no dining hall; instead, a few tables were placed in the yard, surrounded by sand and weeds. The black gentleman who handed us our menus also served as the only resident of the island. Surprisingly though, the menu was sophisticated and diverse. It was almost as if they had taken after a Cajun restaurant on the mainland.

Our family of four and our guide were the only customers there. Anticipating that the food preparation might be more challenging here we had limited our orders to two items on the menu. Even then, the man told us it would take about an hour and that we should get a drink while we waited. After taking our order the man didnโt head in to prepare the food, instead he headed out on his dinghy and started checking each of his traps set out in the bay. It didnโt look like we would be eating in the next hour.

As I looked around, I could see traces of its past prosperity scattered throughout. Cement structures that appeared to be docking facilities at one point remained, and I saw what looked like remnants of breakwaters. One particular structure caught my eye, and I headed over to take a closer look. It was a rusty piece of heavy machinery partially revealed through the overgrown vines. Upon examination, I realized it was a bulldozer, but the kind I used to see in my childhood. Unlike the hydraulic bulldozers of today, I vividly remembered marveling at the mechanism where a large iron scoop would swiftly rotate and lift using a lever. I hadnโt seen on since seeing them before I turned ten. My speculation was that a major disaster must have struck about 50 years ago, and since then, time seems to have stopped on this island.

In a place where hurricanes visit every year without fail, chasing after nice houses or facilities seems futile. I occasionally think about the man running that restaurant on his own on an island that bids you to forget about greed or time.

PONYTAIL
BNB Summer Cool Special Beat hot weather and off-season slow with Ponytail
The season has come when your long hair feels suffocating. In fact, there is a theory that you can decrease feels-like temperature by three degrees by simply tying your hair up off your neck on hot summer days. For this reason, one of the cool hairstyles for mid-summer is a ponytail. Many hair companies are rushing to release various hair products to enable easy and various ponytail styling, and here comes the featured products that can deal with the hot weather.
Regardless of the hair being short or long, straight or curly, you notice more people with hair tied up as the temperature goes up. The name of ponytail originates from its resemblance to the tail of a pony, and this very simple and a bit mundane hairstyle just keeps trending in summer. Hair company B gives the following answers coming from various perspectives.
Heat the high temperature in summer makes the hair uncomfortable and unpleasant. Ponytail effectively removes hair from neck and shoulder for a cool and comfortable feel.
Humidity a common headache during summer, humidity, makes hair curly and unmanageable. Ponytail controls the overly curly hair and helps maintain a tidy look.
Sweating excessive perspiration in summer causes oily hair and messy appearance. Ponytail prevents hair from touching your face and reduces sweating in the scalp.
Versatility ponytail ranges from high and sleek styles to messy ones, making a truly versatile style with various applications.
Quick and Easy ponytail is also a quick and easy style that requires little time in making and maintaining.

๋งํฌ์ธ ํฌ๋ํ ์ผ Ariana Grande with her iconic ponytail ยฉbillboard.com
When you think about ponytail, Ariana Grande comes into many peopleโs minds. She always appears on stage with a high ponytail, and she once gave reasons for her insistence of the hairstyle. It turned out that she had severe hair damages due to frequent coloring and bleaching required for her acting career, and she stopped growing her hair and got hair extensions for the ponytail.
For the natural characteristics of hair, some Black women have hardship growing hair long. Ponytail can be a great solution for them. Unless youโre making a bun, the only thing you need to do is tying hair up. It is a great time-saving style, and when you fix your hair piece on top of your head, it results in less washing and tangling. Overall, itโs easy to style and easy to maintain.
Another advantage of a ponytail is the versatility. From curls to straight hair, you can have short or long ponytails, which can be braided or made into a dome and an up-do. The possibility is limitless. Black women, especially those who pay a lot of attention to hair, use ponytails to continuously try new looks.
Newly arrived ponytail products this summer come with various application types. From the most basic drawstring, you will easily find wrap types in addition to clip types. It is due to the constant effort of hair companies to make ponytails lighter, easier, and more accessible to consumers.
It offers the easiest and simplest application. The ponytail comes with a clip, which can be fixed onto your tied-up hair to finish a ponytail in a jiffy. You can remove the clip to use it as a drawstring ponytail.
As its name implies, you can simply wrap it around your hair. The ponytail extension hair includes a wrap portion with Velcro, so you can wrap it around your bun to complete a ponytail with ease. Although it is less secure than drawstring, the ease of application is bringing it to the mainstream in the ponytail market.

Paris Hilton wearing this yearโs hot items, trucker cap and sporty sunglasses

โSimple Lifeโ went on 5 seasons starring the heiresses Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie.

Paris Hiltonโs influence over the fashion industry was such a big deal. This summer, the styles featured in Simple Life in the 2000s come back to life. Itโs not just for White people. After 20 years, the racial barrier has largely degraded in fashion. Summer catalogs and new items from brands loved by Black women are filled with the items that had been worn by the duo.
RETRO RECTANGLE SUNGLASSES
Designs bringing back the feel of mini sunglasses of โ90s. Mini rectangle sunglasses have been popular for a few seasons already, and their popularity will continue this year.

You canโt talk about vacat ion without hats andbags
TRUCKER CAPS
Trucker caps became a trend after Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie wore them in the reality show in early 2000s. They differ from baseball caps with the mesh back for air circulation, and baseball caps are usually made of cotton or wool. Trucker hats brought Von Dutch and Ed Hardy to fame, and they were truly the must-have items in the Y2K era.
COASTAL COWGIRL
One of the trending style keywords of this year on TikTok is Coastal cowgirl. The view count has already hit 7.4 billion, and its continued popularity is largely affected by the popular Western TV series Yellowstone on Paramount. Straw hats, denim and fringe hats are getting popular as we approach the summer vacation season.
BUCKET HAT
Bucket hats are also a trend affected by Y2K of 2000s, and those with fringe and designs go well with barbie care are expected to be popular.
CROSSBODY BAGS AND BELT BAGS
Crossbody bags go great with denim, cargo pants, crop tops, and sporty looks that are popular this year. Todayโs fashion with leggings and training
suits on trend calls for these highly versatile design that can fit all your travel accessories. Crossbody bags with small pouches are in trend. #belt bag and #crossbodybag tags have garnered more than 200 million views on TikTok each.
MINI SHOULDER BAGS
In the early 2000s, Paris Hiltonโs mini shoulder bags became a mega hit. This yearโs popular colors include metallic and pink, the Bratz doll style that was popular among teens in 2001 and designs inspired by the luxury brand Dior are hot.
CROCHET TOTE BAGS
The honor of This Yearโs Tote Bag should go to crochet tote bags. Luxury brands including Prada, Khaite, and Celine showcased Raffia bag designs for their 2023 collection. These high end luxury items are made of Raffia fabric, which is very costly, and the low to mid-priced products in the market are actually made of other fabrics with similar feeling.
This year, flip flops with high foot beds are in trend. For sandals, casual styles with sling backs are popular. Black women who desire dramatic and showy design usually go with fur, bright colors, and metallic designs along with anklets.
PILLOW SLIDES
Comfortable like a pillow, these pillow slides are often called cloud slides for its heavenly comfort. They are 2023 versions of Nike and Adidas slides worn by athletes in the 2000s and 2010s. Made of Ethylene Vinyl Acetate (or EVA), these soft shoes became an instant hit on TikTok. For Black consumers who prefer bold design, bubble slides with ultra thick soles are popular. The popular hits of Crocs in 2022 are still going strong this year with its convenience on the beach for getting dry quickly.
The lipstick effect is a term of art in economics. It refers to the phenomenon where consumers will spend money on less costly luxury goods when they face an economic crisis. In times of economic crisis, you would normally think that female consumers would buy a more affordable lipstick product. However, lipsticks from luxury brands sell better during tough time. Why? We will be discussing the cause, and things beauty suppliers can do to benefit from the phenomenon.
๊ธฐ์ Sold out ๋์ด ์๋ ์ฃผ๊ณ ๋ท๊ฑฐ๋๊ฐ ์ด๋ฃจ์ด์ง๊ธฐ๋ ํ๋ค.
Luxury goods over travel
When the pandemic restricted peopleโs freedom to travel, women looked elsewhere and spent on luxury brands. Exotic scenes of women who lined up in front of luxury retail stores like Louis Vuitton and Chanel made the news headlines, and the sales revenue for global luxury brands spiked while some luxury handbags quickly went sold out and were sold at higher prices than retail prices in the secondhand market.
To explain the situation with the lipstick effect, consumers tend to look for an escape from their worries about financial difficulties in tough times. When you cannot spend big money, travel cost becomes too much of a burden. Instead, you would settle for watching a movie or dining at a restaurant.
In other words, when consumers have less disposable income, they would give up expensive luxury goods but look for a luxury they can afford to satisfy their desire.
Consumers take more time during economic hardship
As the economy gets worse, more consumers start to consider the durability and practicality of items they want to purchase. This makes them think twice before making a purchase. โIf you donโt know what to buy in America, just grab the most expensive one,โ people say. Although it sounds like an exaggeration, there is always a reason why something is more expensive than others. Sometimes, it is even better for you to buy an expensive product instead of buying a cheaper, inferior one, throw it away quickly, and keep getting new ones. During the recession, you should emphasize the quality and durability of your merchandise for a better sales outcome. For example, synthetic hair products and Remy hair products have a wide price gap between them. However, if consumers were to consider durability and practicality, then Remy hair products could ultimately save money in the long run.
Persuasion for high-end hair products
If you want to persuade your customers to buy high-end products, you should back your claim of saving money in the long run with supporting materials. A simple statement of โit saves moneyโ is not enough to open the purse of consumers living in an economic downturn.
You need actual numbers and materials to back your claim for the customers and hair stylists who often buy luxury hair products including remy hair. Your customers will make purchases with confidence and trust you when they are assured of a prospective high return for the investment.
You should have confidence in explaining why luxury products are a better choice for the long run and always add the following statement to your sales pitch: โto avoid this and that problem after purchasing cheaper products, you can invest extra money for better value and quality.โ Of course, you need not make every customer who looks for less expensive goods buy expensive ones. You should figure out the individualโs purpose of the purchase and help them find their best fit.
BEAUTY ELEMENTS Destiny HH Brazilian Lace Wig, Sassy Bob 10โ / Sassy Bob 14โ / Sassy Curl 8โ
People say, โin business, you do not get what you deserve but what you negotiate.โ Consumers not only take packages and brand names into account but also consider the value of more expensive goods. Especially, a customer who looks for luxury goods during an economic downturn is likely to be aware of the products even better than the retail business owner. They must have seen the reviews on social media and visited the store with a firm decision already made.
An owner of a beauty supply business that carries a lot of high-end hair products should have comprehensive knowledge about the hair products to persuade customers.
Avoid selling at a lower price
Luxury goods should not be discounted unnecessarily. Rather, you need to deliver proper and extensive knowledge of products to customers for a better sales number.
Seasonal promotion and discount are great ways to attract new customers and show thanks to loyal customers, but the price of luxury goods reflect the value customers seek. Slashing the price might coincidentally damage the reputation of the brand and product.
That is why Louis Vuitton and Chanel do not run outlet stores. They are providing assurance to the customers who bought their products.
If hair companies start to sell their high-end human hair weaving products at a substantial discount to fight off the recession as low as those of mid-range products, the sales of mid-range products would suffer at the same time. This is a polar opposite of a win-win among the various product categories and will lead to decreased revenue across the board.
Providing identity to individual customers
Some luxury brands hike their prices despite the economic downturn. In Particular, the price of Chanel bags gradually goes up, so purchasing a Chanel good is not just an expense but also an investment. This is a good example of marketing strategies based on the Veblen effect.
The principal demand for luxury goods comes from high-income earners, and when the price of luxury goods goes lower or on sale, the products will no longer be considered luxury. Hence, raising prices might bring more prestige to the brands and their goods and better appeal to the target customers.
Target consumers for Remy hair or Brazilian hair products are usually those who can afford the luxury. For your customers who typically buy those high-end products, you should not give discounts and promotions that may devalue the products but have a marketing strategy to provide more distinction for purchasing and wearing those products.
Lately, for products in any given price range, you would find 99 cents after the decimal point. For example, you could sell a $5 product at $4.99 just to give the impression of affordability.
When it comes to human hair products priced over $200, the price tag of $199.99 can rather give the products a cheap feel. You would rather round up the decimal points to give a luxurious feel while deducting a cent can still appeal to customers who look for deals. Luxury brands like Burberry and Prada stick to rounded prices for this reason.
If the product is high-end, you should consider simply rounding up the price even if decimal points are there for other reasons. The order of shelf display can make a difference too, so more expensive hair weaving products should be shown first. When a customer sees the most expensive one and then moves on to the lower-priced items, the second or third products would seem more affordable.
However, when a customer sees the cheapest products first and later the high-end products, they would perceive the cost of high-end products as a bit too much.
The appeal of limited availability
The snob effect is a phenomenon described in microeconomics. According to the theory, when demand for a good increases, the number of customers who want to purchase the good decreases. Even if it was an expensive luxury brand product, customers would not want to be just one of so many people who already have it.
As a snob has an exaggerated respect for high social position or wealth, they want to buy stuff to make a statement. Piled-up merchandise that can be seen everywhere is not a great appeal to those customers who want to distinguish themselves from others.
As luxury brands release limited editions to generate the snob effect among a certain consumer group, high-end hair product lines can try a marketing strategy where they appeal to a small group of customers rather than filling the entire store with their branded products.

Actress Quinta Brunson made her Met Gala debut this year. With Chanelโs signature camellia flower decoration, the see-through dress was matched with a colorful dress. Wearing the creation of Prabal Gurung, her natural hair made an elegant up-do hairstyle matching the dress. Perfectly finished edge and the leaf-shaped accessories sneaking out of the textured hair made an impressive look.
The notorious female rapper Cardi B showed off her perfectly maintained postpartum body shape. Setting apart from other celebs, she appeared in three different looks, which channeled the career peak of Karl Lagerfeld. The most attention-getting look was a dress that reinterpreted Chanelโs quilt bag completed with a big camellia flower, long opera gloves, and silver hair.
Janelle Monae wore a dress with contrasting inside and out looks. The contrast was between a black and white jacket and a black bikini by Thom Browne. Janelleโs hairstylist Nikki Nelms explained that her up-do hair gives way for the white tweed tuxedo to shine but at the same time makes its own appeal.
Rihanna and ASAP Rocky made seldom appearances in public since her childbirth, so the coupleโs Met Gala appearance gathered a lot of spotlights. Although they were the latest to show up, Rihannaโs dress wowed many people. The all-white dress and a jacket decorated with Chanelโs signature Camellia flower were of Valentino.
The British actress Michaela was one of the co-hosts of this yearโs Met Gala. Michaelaโs lace dress was decorated with 130,000 crystals, totaling 3,800 hours in making. Her neat cornrow hair completed the look.
May 1, 2023, the annual fundraising Met Gala, dubbed the fashionโs biggest night, was held in Manhattan, New York, and received global attention. This yearโs dress code was โin honor of Karlโ in line with the museumโs exhibition โKarl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beautyโ. American celebrities and global stars including Song Hye Kyo and Jennie of Black Pink showed up for the event. The eventโs highlight was the remake of Lagerfeldโs creations many years during his legacy in Chloe, Fendi, Chanel, and so on. Janelle Monae spoke strongly of her opinion as a Black woman and a sexual minority on her red-carpet interview, and Halle Bailey, the new Little Mermaid, came to the spotlights with an all-white dress with a short haircut. Singer Doja Cat wore makeup and a dress inspired by the cat Karl Lagerfeld raised in his time.
Many celebrities showed off unique hairdos and accessories in their own style. Letโs take a look at some of the hottest Black celebs in light of their hairstyle and fashion.
Actress Viola Davis wore a vibrant dress by Valentino with feathers on the red carpet. Her signature afro hair got many peopleโs attention, and it was styled with her own hair.
She is the star of the new live-action remake of Disneyโs โThe Little Mermaidโ. Gucci secured the hottest actress in Hollywood at the time, and the short hair, very different from her appearance in The Little Mermaid, highlighted her adorable look with the little remnant from the movie, the locs at the top.
The most noticeable feature of the 2023 Met Gala was the number of Black celeb guests. It indirectly showed the status of Black celebrities in the American fashion and entertainment industry. It was spoken behind the curtain that a lot of Black guests collaborated with Black designers to bring more opportunities to the Black community. A lot of Black celebs spoke strongly of the current issues regarding Black history and culture, and they made it public to spread the positive influence in society.
Lately, consumers are getting more knowledgeable and sophisticated. There is so much information online, and a lot of professionals share their expert knowledge on social media, which makes the public more knowledgeable. Nowadays, you can come across a layperson with expert-level knowledge quite frequently. As such, beauty supply stores of late do not typically have an item that sells dominantly. Most people know the status of their hair and skin, and they make their purchases based on their preference and styling needs instead of the product packaging or sales associatesโ recommendation.
There is only one way to engage todayโs consumers: you must have more knowledge than your customers and appeal to them with it. After the long business hour of a beauty supply store, you are too tired to do anything, but in the long run, a few minutes, or hours every day spent on learning expert knowledge could bring great fortune for your business in the future. There are many online courses, so you do not have to travel long distances for high-quality education. Here comes a few major beauty schools in the United States.
In America, you can find a variety of beauty schools and programs. Beauty schools generally refer to the educational institutes that teach beauty-related techniques and knowledge including makeup, hair styling, skincare, nail art, and so on. Here, students can learn essential knowledge and skills and have clinical experience for their careers in the beauty industry.
Different beauty schools offer different programs, but most of them cover the following.
Makeup: makeup techniques from skincare to color theory and makeup applications. They often have courses focused on specific makeup styles and trends.
Hair styling: the curriculum includes cut, color, perm, and bleach among others, and you can learn various styling techniques suitable for different hair types and textures.
Skincare: you can learn skin care techniques including massages and solutions to skin problems, and you will learn various skin care steps and skincare product applications for various skin types.
Nail art: nail care, manicure, pedicure, and nail art designs are some of the subjects in the field of study.
In addition, beauty schools may teach about running a business, namely customer service, industrial standards, and business operations. Individual schools and programs have their own focus and varying curriculums.

The store you go looking for an item but leave with ten items. Kim's Hair Plus where you can find everything.
In the downtown Nashville, Tennessee area, there is a retail store that has been up and running for the past 30 years. From hair bands to premium hair products and from underwear to church uniforms, it is carrying a wide range of products people look for and has a long business hour welcoming customers. Itโs the story of Kimโs Hair Plus. Since its grand opening in 1992, it has always tried to expand its product offering rather than tightening the balance sheet. Kimโs beauty supply is always busy with customers making a trip for shopping from a distance. Most of the customers end up shopping for way more items than they planned, and it must be the result of business owner Hyunmi Parkโs meticulous search for items that people would take an interest in and buy. So far, business owner Park opened three locations of Kimโs Hair Plus, but the first store is special to her. We interviewed Park to listen to the stories of running beauty supplies and her business philosophy.
Itโs often said that the face reveals oneโs life. Your personality and life experiences do show on your face. A store is not so different. You can easily find the footprints of years of business on the retail floor. A store without the ownerโs love and care is dim and grim. Kimโs Hair Plus shows off an adorable exterior and greets you with a bright and clean interior. Though it offers a wide range of merchandise, they are not overlapped or messy. Each section claims its own space and the alternative display of products is the key feature. Ponytails, wig, human hair, crochet, braid, and other hair products are not altogether but alternating with clothes and accessories for a better appearance and improved experience for shoppers.
According to Park, while hair products are still the core of beauty supply business, the accessories are starting to play a bigger role in the beauty supply industry. Park says, โthe products made by Korean American companies including KISS and NICKA K are becoming more high-end, and customers like them so they generate revenue.โ Nowadays, companies donโt just follow the trend but set a trend with innovative products developed through trial and error as well as extensive research.
Kimโs Hair Plus has a large section for hats and church outfits as big as the wig section. Instead of piling up hats, each hat is placed within a glass display, and the matching clothing items are placed nearby. Since the beginning of the store, Kimโs Hair Plus carried church outfits, and they have become the trademark of Kimโs. They generated considerable revenue 30 years ago, but the demand dwindled starting around 15 years ago. While the sales shrunk, they still occupy considerable space, but Park does not plan to let it go. Park wanted the church outfit to become the item that makes you think about Kimโs Hair Plus. The strategy might have worked, and the regular customers and people from other states including Kentucky who heard about the store from someone else make the store busy. While they sell much less than before, the demand is still there.
โ์์ ์๋
๋์ด๋๊ณ ์๋ค๋ ๊ฑฐ์์โ
โIn old days, there used to be hit items. They came out of nowhere and made jackpots, but todayโs market is different. But the noticeable trend is that the share of accessories is getting larger.โ
Website and social media to generate foot traffic.
Kimโs Hair Plus runs a website as well as many social media accounts including Facebook and Instagram. Instead of selling products online, it focuses on attracting customers to visit the store by updating frequently with new product photos and product details. The Kimโs Hair Plus website delivers the message of โVisit Our Stores to See Our Selections.โ It utilizes online tools but only to help offline businesses. Google Reviews are not overlooked. It performs an all-hands review of Google Reviews based on the bi-weekly Google Review Reports to im-
Braids are still the top hair products.
Since the pandemic, the demand for natural hair continues to rise and so does braiding. The number of braiding-related products has increased. While braids being the top products, Kimโs Hair Plus makes sure that no single customer goes home empty handed by carrying all sorts of hair products. It has a dedicated senior wig display and a section set aside for discounted wigs. Park says, โwhen you shop, there is the catharsis of finding a treasure, which is often an affordable item you like. I want my customers to have that feeling at our store, so even if the items are trending right now, I would offer them at a discount if I could procure them at a low price.โ
prove customer service and tackle issues raised by customers. The business has an above-4 rating, and a recent mention includes a reviewer who visited Kimโs from Indiana to purchase wigs. Parkโs words are not without a supporting witness. She started running the beauty supply upon casually visiting her in-laws after immigrating to the U.S. in the early 90s. Her diligence and attention to detail business philosophy helped the continued success, but it was not possible without help from many people. To find more about it, please keep reading.
Long-time employees, some over twenty years, the boast of Kimโs Hair
There are about 25 employees across its three locations. About 30% of them are Koreans. Park says boastfully, โWe have employees who worked over twenty years here.โ A manager was recently awarded the โAttendance Awardโ for never missing a day for the past ten years. Business owner Park makes sure that employees can feel comfortable at the workplace and work independently while also ensuring they are โkind to customers at all time and trying to make them come back with satisfactory service.โ
Always thankful to the life-partner wholesalers
Park says, โFor thirty years of business, Iโve witnessed the history of the beauty supply industry. I can run the business here today because the products are developed by wholesalers through investment, isnโt it?
It is an economically tough time now. The time of low is always felt harder by wholesale than a retail business. We are small and dynamic, so we can simply tighten our belts and get through it. Itโs a different story for wholesale. I just want to say that if you stay strong, the good days will come.โ
Park emphasized that her gratitude should be shown in the article because she wants to thank the wholesalers who have helped her so much. Also, she wants to share her own insight that โfor retail business, they always work with sales associates. And those associates who lack professionalism ask for impossible favors, which should be tamed at the company level.โ
Positive feedback from regulars is big motivation
About 25 years ago, a Black-owned beauty supply opened nearby. They hired hands to promote their business by directly talking to customers getting into Kimโs Hair Plus every Saturday by luring them with the โuse Black-owned businessโ catchphrase. At that time, the regulars backed Kimโs Hair Plus. Despite the aggressive campaign, they kept visiting Kimโs beauty supply. And without the support, todayโs Kimโs Hair Plus may not exist. In sincere gratitude, business owner Park delivers great customer service to every customer.
Vision
Park raised concerns about the prospect of the beauty supply industry. She says, โNon-Korean businesses are always looking for a gap. Itโs not just Nashville but a nation-wide phenomenon. While the prospect of the beauty supply industry is not so bright, itโs even problematic that not many children of beauty supply business owners are taking part in the business.โ Park expressed her wish that if her children have the will, she wants to make it a family business. There comes her plan for the fourth location. As braids persist in popularity, the product packages are getting bigger and longer. The store should feel too small now. She is considering a bigger 12,000 sq. ft. retail space which is a bit bigger than the current location.
Business owner Hyunmi Park (fourth from the left) and the employees
While many countries including the U.S. are banning TikTok from their governmentโs official use citing national security concerns, the popularity of TikTok is unwavering. TikTok has made it to the top four most popular brands among Gen-Z Americans with Amazon, Nike, and Ulta Beauty. Especially, the ever-popular hair category in TikTok is spreading the younger generationโs beauty trend faster than any other platforms. BNB has gathered the most hashtagged beauty trends in 2023 and suggests what products can be recommended at beauty supply retail stores.
The natural hair and healthy hair trend brought the mini twist styles to popularity as they are least damaging among the protective styles. According to the stylist Tiara Nash, who specializes in protective styles, many braid customers are converting to twists. Two-strand mini twists put very little stress on the hair follicle while being very easy to DIY, and they are going viral in TikTok.
Dark-tone lip makeup made a comeback after its hit in the 1990s. Make an over-line with dark lip liners and finish it glossy. While dark colors are the base, the added glossy lip oils and highlighters make it a great companion to any style. Lip oils are easy to retouch and also great for your healthy lip.
Slugging equates to making moisture barrier that originated from K-beauty hacks while hair oiling originated from Ayurveda, the Indian traditional medicine and wearing hair wraps during sleep is a part of the ethnic women culture. Upon the globalization of the TikTok platform, multi-cultural wisdom has become the hot trend according to the expert. Black women call it โpre-pooโ as it is usually a preparation step before shampoo in order to prevent hair from getting dry. Hair slugging can be done by applying moisturizer or oil products to hair, putting the hair inside a puffy sock or hair wrap, and leaving it overnight. Oil contains fatty acids that provide nutrients to hair and keeps the hair hydrated, making it great for dry hair or scalp. Hence, it is best when applied on wet hair. Best oils for hair slugging are jojoba oil, argan oil, almond oil, and castor oil that are easy to absorb. Per the condition of your hair, you should do one or two treatments a week.
Also known as black cherry hair, cherry coke hair is a mix of black and cherry red color and has red, burgundy, purple, and black undertones. It is easier to maintain for darker hair colors. Experts recommend hair gloss or semi-permanent colors for DIY application. Red colors tend to make it harder to restore the original hair color, so for customers who are reluctant to wear it for a long run, you can recommend braids and wigs that come in red colors.

Jewelry a low price item? Not anymore! Jewelry Market is Moving Towards Higher Price and Quality.
Beauty supplies carry tens of thousands of products. If you divide them into three categories, you have hair products, chemicals, and accessories. Each category further divides into sub-categories, but in this issue we will only cover the jewelry that belongs to the accessories.
It terms of the sales revenue, jewelry typically is not a substantial category for beauty supplies. However, as the average price of jewelry items increases due to demand for higher quality, higher priced jewelries, many beauty supplies now make a substantial portion of their sales in the jewelry department. In the past, it was easy to find items that cost a dollar or two at beauty supplies, but a few major brands are introducing more expensive jewelry items with price tags north of $10.
Director Sungsik Choi of jewelry company C&L USA says, โchain necklaces and bracelets and high quality products from the premium jewelry line LUXE are making quite an impact on our sales revenue with positive feedback from the customers.โ Manager Soonjong Choi agrees in saying, โLUXE products sell despite the hefty price tag because they are good quality and look pretty, and I am receiving so many orders from many business personally.โ Kim, a sales associate from another company, also agrees in saying โit is a matter of fact that a broader price range of jewelry products is boosting the sales revenue compared to the past.โ
Do the beauty supply business owners and managers agree too? Executive manager Park running five beauty supply stores in Texas says there has been a change in the status of jewelry in the beauty supply industry. In old days, they moved a small number of jewelry items, so they would place an order in a few hundred dollars when sales associates make a monthly visit. Today, they make an order in thousands of dollars. Business owner Kim who runs two beauty supply stores in New Jersey says, โthough the order for jewelry falls far short of the orders for hair and chemical products, we still make an order in thousands of dollars every month, which is not so small. When
Point-of-purchase displays and tower displays on the floor
you open a new store, you would place an order that exceeds ten thousand dollars in amount.โ
The consensus among those interviewed is that the share of jewelry department, although it varies from a store to a store, is getting bigger and bigger. One of the reasons is that many companies keep releasing new products and that the postpandemic inflation is boosting the per-piece cost.
In addition to the diversification of jewelry products, jewelry display is evolving. Although it may be up to the size of the retail floor, many beauty supplies prefer wall display nowadays. According to an industrial analysis, jewelry sales largely depend on the display. In terms of revenue, counter top displays promote higher inventory turnover for increased revenue. Floor display, or tower display, comes in next with relatively good accessibility. Wall display is great in terms of store interior design, but it is not a substantial help in boosting sales.
After the pandemic business boom and ever as we enter the endemic, the sales revenue of beauty supplies across the regions are decreasing. Business owners all agree that it is not easy to increase your revenue nowadays because customers are low on cash. As the business is slowing, they are reducing the order size for everything but chemicals that sell constantly. However, there are businesses that are beating the recession by pushing accessories with higher margin over the chemicals with low profit margin.
Beauty supply business owner Mohamed in Alabama says, โwhen the business is slow, we rather make bigger orders for accessories that offer higher profit margin to ever expand the range of merchandise that keeps the customer traffic. We try as much as we can to bring in new products.โ As such, a beauty supply business owner should know that making changes to the items you carry can be a way to improve sales and your profit margin as different categories offer different margin.

Used to be a minor player in the beauty supplies, jewelry is assuming a bigger role for increasing the range of product offering in businessโs effort to bring new customers. From necklaces to earrings, bracelets, and body jewelries, you should order a wide variety of items to meet the customer demand and beautify your retail floor in order to cope with the seasonal slow of your business in summer.

Top 10 jobs that will disappear in the future with the Emergence
In the current era of artificial intelligence (AI), the advancement of AI and robotics is rapidly accelerating, leading to significant transformations in various professions due to the fourth industrial revolution. According to a comprehensive report titled โThe Future of Jobsโ by the World Economic Forum (WEF), approximately 75 million jobs are projected to be lost by 2025, with AI occupying over 52% of all jobs by 2028. As we progress with AI advancement, I cautiously predict that nearly 50% of existing jobs will vanish by 2030, followed by a staggering 70% by 2040. I looked at ten occupational groups likely to disappear in the AI era fast approaching us.
The significance of cashiers is progressively diminishing in light of the emergence of unmanned stores, exemplified by the proliferation of selfcheckout counters in supermarkets, touch-ordering systems in fastfood restaurants, and automated convenience stores throughout the United States. The ubiquity of automated checkout systems in retail establishments is already common, and this trend is expected to persist. In the foreseeable future, a growing number of companies will demonstrate a vested interest in unmanned technologies, accelerating the development of related innovations. Nevertheless, given the simplistic and repetitive nature typically associated with cashier roles, we can predict that these positions are anticipated to be among the first jobs to be rendered obsolete. 10 ๊ณ์ฐ์ Cashier
With the ongoing transition from physical mail to digital communications, coupled with advancements in automated sorting and delivery systems, it is inevitable that the workforce at post offices will experience a decline. While the role of a postman will persist in delivering mail and parcels, the traditional methods of postal delivery are on the verge of obsolescence. Increasingly, individuals are opting to receive bills and statements electronically, as automated transfers facilitate quicker and more seamless payment processes. In line with our commitment to eco-friendliness, the prevalence of paper statements is expected to diminish further, changing the need for alternative delivery approaches in the near future.
The role of sports game referees is anticipated to also become obsolete with the advancement of โvideo reviewโ technology. This technology offers several advantages over human judgment, significantly reducing the occurrence of potential misjudgments. Through the utilization of drones and ultra-precision camera readings, movements that are difficult for the human eye to perceive can now be accurately assessed. As a result, decisions can be made with greater precision and objectivity. In a recent ranking of jobs at risk of disappearing, umpires have been listed in the eighth position, as the majority of sports events now incorporate video reviews, rendering the traditional role of referees increasingly unnecessary.
The emergence of self-driving cars poses a potential threat to the livelihoods of traditional taxi drivers. While the complete displacement of these jobs may not occur immediately, the trajectory toward such a shift is evident. The impact of autonomous vehicles extends beyond taxis and encompasses various sectors within the transportation and logistics industries. Long-haul truck drivers, for instance, are likely to experience significant changes in the job market as a result of this technology. It is plausible that occupational groups in the transportation industry, such as freight truck drivers and courier services, will face a more rapid disappearance compared to taxi drivers. With advancements in delivery methods like rocket delivery or Amazonโs early morning delivery, autonomous delivery without human intervention becomes feasible by simply inputting pre-defined routes and delivery instructions into the program.
The role of real estate agents is undergoing a gradual decline as websites and online transactions are becoming increasingly more prevalent. With the advancement of online platforms, the process of matching buyers with suitable homes has become more sophisticated, diminishing the reliance on traditional real estate agents. Real Estate Forum, a prominent U.S. real estate magazine, predicts a significant transformation in the role of real estate agents, transitioning from primarily โsellingโ to focusing on โconnectingโ and providing advisory services. Within the next decade, it is projected that approximately 80% of brokers will be replaced, giving rise to a new position known as a โRelationship Advisor,โ which will emphasize the integration of technology and financial acumen. This shift reflects the changing dynamics of the real estate industry and the increasing role of technology in facilitating transactions and client relationships.
According to a survey conducted on popular job sites such as โLinkedInโ and โIndeedโ, office workers and job seekers in their 20s and 30s have identified translators and interpreters as the primary occupations that may vanish in the future. This assessment is primarily driven by advancements in machine translation technology, which have the potential to impact the demand for human translators. With the continuous development of machine learning technology and language processing algorithms employed by translation platforms, it is predicted that translation and interpretation jobs could face a staggering decline of up to 99% within the next decade.
The increase of automated teller machines (ATMs) and the rise of online banking services have significantly diminished the necessity of traditional bank counters. In addition, the advent of self-service kiosks and the growing popularity of online banking have further reduced the demand for inperson transactions. The emergence of financial technology (also known as โFINTECHโ) has also paved the way for self-banking services, enabling customers to access a wide range of financial services without the need for direct interaction through a bank teller. Nowadays, a single smartphone is sufficient to carry out most banking operations, including account opening, product registration, deposits, withdrawals, and account transfers. This shift towards digital banking reflects the convenience and accessibility offered by technological advancements, making traditional bank tellers less indispensable for routine financial transactions.
A Wall Street Journal (WSJ) report has identified accountants as the leading profession at risk of disappearing in the future, primarily due to the emergence of generative artificial intelligence (AI) technology like Chat GPT. A German startup, โSmackโ, has developed an AI system that can replace the core functions of accountants. This innovation enables individuals and businesses to handle their accounting and asset management tasks automatically. Subscribers can send their accounting documents and receipts to Smack through email or via the application, where they are then encrypted and analyzed using an accounting management machine. The machine incorporates โDeep Learningโ technology, which independently examines each record, extracts sales, costs, and liquidity assets, performs calculations, and even generates reports. According to experts, the integration of asset management services, accounting management tasks, and AI technologies like โSmackโ will likely lead to the disappearance of accountants in the future. Furthermore, the development of tax reporting and bookkeeping software enables small business owners to automate numerous bookkeeping responsibilities, including maintaining financial transaction histories, preparing financial reports, and managing payroll. These technological advancements are transforming the accounting landscape and enabling greater automation and efficiency in financial management tasks.
The healthcare sector is undergoing a significant digital transformation, driven by factors such as the COVID-19 pandemic, the concept of the โNew Normalโ, telemedicine, and touchless interactions (un-tact). These changes are expected to bring about fundamental shifts in hospitals and pharmacies. Subsequently, there is a growing need to explore the future role of pharmacists in areas that require human thinking and creativity, where robots cannot fully replace their expertise.
One notable example of this digital transformation can be seen at the NYU Langone Medical Center, which boasts the largest number of beds across New Yorkโs five boroughs. At this medical center, prescription fulfillment has been entrusted to robots, effectively reducing the direct involvement of pharmacists. These robots, equipped with robotic arms, navigate the shelves where medications are stored, retrieve the required
medicines based on the prescription entered by the doctor, and complete the packaging process. Research indicates that these robots can operate continuously, 24 hours a day, with a low probability of error. As a result of their success, the adoption of such โmedication prescription systemsโ is anticipated to expand to other university hospitals in the future.
According to research conducted by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Media Lab, the job of a telemarketer is projected to be the fastest-disappearing occupation in the era of artificial intelligence (AI). The study concludes that telemarketers face an automation rate of 99%, highlighting the significant impact of AI on this profession. In recent times, when reaching out to customer service through chats or phone calls, it has become increasingly common to interact with automated response systems (ARS) rather than speaking directly with a human representative.
Automated calling and messaging systems have already begun to replace human involvement. The rapid advancements in AI have enabled AI systems to make phone calls, address inquiries, and even handle customer complaints. This is made possible by AI-powered chatbots and virtual assistants that not only efficiently manage and support customer queries and concerns but can also independently exhibit emotions. The widespread adoption of AI-driven customer service solutions is reshaping the landscape of customer support and signaling the decline of telemarketing as a profession.
There are no good jobs in the future, only good work!
With the rapid advancements in robotics and artificial intelligence, the era of human dominance in laborintensive tasks is gradually coming to an end. Advanced robots are increasingly capable of performing a wide range of jobs across various industries. While it is challenging to make precise predictions about the future, it is evident that the trend of automation will continue to shape the job market. In light of this uncertain future, it becomes crucial to adopt a mindset that prepares us for unpredictable changes. One approach is to pursue work that aligns with our passions and interests and strive to become experts in those fields. Instead of focusing solely on finding โgood jobs,โ we should concentrate on engaging in meaningful and fulfilling work. Whether working for a company or pursuing independent endeavors from home, the key lies in continuously honing our skills and knowledge in our chosen area of interest. By dedicating ourselves to becoming experts in our respective fields, we can alleviate the anxiety associated with the uncertain future. Embracing this mindset allows us to adapt and thrive in an evolving job market, regardless of the specific nature of future employment opportunities.

Silk Shine Narula Biotin Oil Serum
Great for healthy glowing hair and prevention of hair loss New
products made of natural marula oil from South Africa
NARULA, a newly launched brand of H2PRO, releases a new product Silk Shine NARULA Biotin Oil Serum made with natural marula oil from South Africa. Your hair will absorb it quickly for a light and tight feel, and the healthy glow in the hair will last a long time. Also, your hair will grow healthy and stay boastfully hydrated.
The main ingredient marula oil is extracted from marula fruit, also known as elephantโs fruit for its strong vitality. It contains 10 times more vitamin C than orange, amino acids, and omega-9, and minerals.
NARULA Oil Serum products come in a 6-in-1 display consisting of four oil serums, namely black castor, marula, argan, and tea tree, and two biotin sprays, namely black castor oil shine spray and bio tin marula oil shine spray. Among the six, castor oil and biotin oil serums are highly recommended for hair loss prevention and scalp health. Spray products can be evenly distributed over the hair in a mist form, and you can maintain shiny and bouncy hair all day with a small amount.
1 For the best result, try on damp hair (e.g., towel dried) for better absorption.
2 Take a small amount on your palm to warm it with your body temperature, use your fingertips to apply it on the hair root and scalp, and lightly massage your head.
3 For a quick result, you can apply the serum, cover your hair with a shower cap and wrap a warm wet towel around your head once a week. The heat from the towel will boost the effect of castor oil.
