What happened

Shares of Sally Beauty Supply (NYSE:SBH), a retailer focused on exactly what its name implies, soared 24% in early trading on May 6. The news driving the advance was the company’s pre-market earnings release. But the story here is actually a bit bigger.

So what

Sally Beauty’s fiscal second-quarter 2021 sales increased 6.3% year over year. Same-store sales rose 6.5%, with global e-commerce sales higher by 56%. Adjusted earnings per share came in at $0.57, up 148% versus the year-ago period. Wall Street was expecting quarterly earnings of $0.15 per share, so this was a significant earnings beat, which is the type of thing investors like to see.

Willie Dearing was tired of the beauty supply store options in the area. For years, she noticed that the personable touch that she and other Black women wanted when shopping for wigs and hair products was simply not there.

“They have everything you would want to look for in a beauty supply store, but they have no personal understanding of what they’re selling,” Dearing said. “The people who own the hair stores or sell wigs to Black women, they have cosmetics and things that women wear, but they’re all men.”

So she began to talk with family and friends about whether they would support a business owned and operated by a Black woman and said she got an overwhelmingly positive response. As a woman in her early 60s, she said she has already had a career and is currently attending Indiana University South Bend and taking poetry classes. But this

Black owned beauty supply store is aiming to diversify market

Despite the beauty supply industry making $50 billion last year, African Americans surprisingly only own three percent of that market.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark — Professor Devin Robinson is the founder of Beauty Supply Institute out of Georgia. He states that last year in the U.S. alone, the beauty supply business made $50 billion, yet African Americans only own 3% of that market. 

The beauty supply industry is a 96% ethnic market.

The majority of products are catered to African Americans. Despite this, many distributors and store owners are of Asian decent.

“Obviously this industry is dominated by Asians,” Robinson said.

“They don’t live in our community, but their business does and they get our money. It’s important for us in general to own our own businesses, especially those that are consumed highly by us.” 

Bobby Perkins decided to research Robinson’s institute before he opened up his own beauty supply store,

Proceeds from Sunday’s fundraiser in Houston will go toward Asian-American advocacy organizations

HOUSTON — Cooks and vendors were hard at work in east Houston on Sunday to raise money for Asian-American advocacy organizations. Organizers said they created the Stop the Hate event in response to recent racist incidents targeting Asian-Americans.

Fifty vendors brought out their specialties for the fundraiser.

The idea for the event came about after some difficult conversations among business owners who watched the concerning events play out on video.

“We just started having conversations that personally I never had,” organizer Gabby Nguyen said. “It just hits close to home.”

Organizers said some of the money raised will go to the nonprofit organization Stop AAPI Hate.

The organization released its national report in March on incidents of hate against Asian-Americans and Pacific Islanders since the start of the pandemic.

It found that there were nearly 4,000 reported
