On Tuesday, November 25, 2014 an enlightening and uplifting historic event took place featuring some of today's Afro-American leaders from the Los Angeles Hair Care Industry; they discussed the state of black hair care from its modern beginning to its current place in today's society. The event took place at the Brownstone Bistro: located at 5047 West Pico Blvd, Los Angeles, California 90019. The sponsor and host of the event was Walter Smith, owner of Smith Products Company, LLC, and distributor of The Secret Styling Quality line of hair care products (www.secretstyling.com) moderated the event.
 
Mr. Smith stated his primary purpose for organizing the event was to open up the communication gap between local Afro-American business owners of hair care companies and the professional hairstylists and barbers they service within the Los Angeles and surrounding area market place. He encouraged the audience to engage in discussions surrounding problems which exist within the local hair care markets. It was his hope that based on those discussions, hair care company owners would be in a better position to organize their sales and marketing efforts to address the needs of hair stylists and barbers for the upcoming 2015 business year.
 
Mr. Smith stated his secondary objective was to create awareness of the fine food and dining experience of the Brownstone Bistro, as well as to introduce his guest to the unique business opportunity to participate in creating community oriented programming at the RMC Studio located in the rear of the Brownstone Bistro.  The event opened with a brief introduction by Mr. Smith and his invited panelists. Discussions then ensued centering around the event theme - Black Hair Care- Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow.
 
The morning session then transformed into a question and answers session featuring invited panelists and invited guests. Panelists included: Jerry and Lucky White, owner's of Kizure Iron Works; Jacque Adamu Stylist/Naptician; Frank Davie, owner of Global Beauty Products and former owner of Worlds of Curls Inc; Dr. Tony Lloneau, owner of Lloneau Products; and Don Davidson, owner of 3D Silk. Present at the event also were Corenthian Uqdah and Dominic Uqdah, owners of Ubora Hair Care Products; and Isaac Suthers, owner of Hairobics Hair Care Products.
Despite the fact it was an extremely busy week and several of the local professional cosmetologists and barbers had to cancel their anticipated presences to accommodate their clients' holiday hair styling needs, the event was a success and the guests loved the food.

There was videotaping of the morning session, as well as a studio videotaping of the afternoon session featuring the host Walter Smith and his guest panelists only. The studio taping will be available at http://www.rmconair.com/YouTube.

Mr. Smith would like to thank all who participated in this historic event. He would also like to thank Clive Jackson, owner of the Brownstone Bistro and Johnny Morris, operation manager, Crystal Wells his assistant and Chris Hodge engineer from RMC Studio for their services. Plans are already underway for a follow up event, based on request from attendees and request from hair stylists that were unable to attend the event
