Exquisite Beauty Emporium has been the most challenging business to open to date for Lameca. A billion dollar business to be apart. Making it harder for African Americans to be apart of. Asian have dominated the market for decades due to distributors being solely owned by Asians. 99% of the revenue that come into beauty supply store are by women of color. Being a African American woman, I have faced barriers opening accounts to supply my store. Top beauty supply distributors like Shake N Go, Bobbiboss and Harlem 125 would not allow my store to open accounts. I had to travel to bigger cities within the United States to network with other black owned beauty supply stores just to stock my store. By the grace of God, I made a way out of no way to fill up my store.
