The beauty supply industry caters to a culturally diverse population.
Suriname – South America
If variety is the spice of life, Suriname (also known as the Republic of Suriname) is like a bowl of chili that leaves you reaching for a water glass. “Suriname is a multiethnic, multicultural, multilingual, and multi-religious country, and probably one of the most colorful and unique societies in the world,” explains the Suriname Tourism Foundation (STF). It boasts a magnificent cultural blend that is created by its people that have roots all over the world. A multitude of ethnicities mix together perfectly, and the beauty supply industry happily serves each one with unique products for their specific hair and beauty needs.
Suriname, situated on the northeastern Atlantic coast of South America, is neighbored by French Guiana and Guyana. This land filled with tropical rainforests and jungles is as exotic as you can imagine. The tropical climate keeps it hot, wet and humid, and this undoubtedly creates beauty issues like frizzy hair. (From our experience with the seemingly mild humidity we experience here in the Southern United States, we can only imagine the hair woes these weather conditions present.) Inhabitants of the country need not fear, because beauty supplies are there to save the day! Popular brands such as Smoothcare, Africa’s Best, Organic Root Stimulator, IC, TCB, Blue Magic, S-Curl, Luster’s Pink and African Pride help with this hair concern, and many others. Brittny’s and Ardell are also well-liked brands for general merchandise.
If commercial hair is what consumers are looking for, beauty stores have that too! With popular brands such as Urban Beauty, Beauti Collection, Afro Kinky, TruHair, SHE, SHE Brazilian, Afro Kinky Braid and PP Braids, shoppers can find just the right style to fit their personality. Visit www.jbshair.com to learn about these, and discover other types of hair.
These people of varied backgrounds join together to form one single society, and the STF reports that most “preserved their cultural identity.” This means that cultural traditions from groups such as Dutch, Hindu, Javanese, Chinese, African and Amerindian can be found throughout the land. Still other cultures are coming into the country, adding to its mix. As can be expected, this melting pot of people leads to quite an exciting blend of music, culture, traditions, cuisines, religion and more…all adding to the beauty of Suriname.
Jinny Memphis 1 Year Anniversary Outstanding Customers Invitational Golf Event
Jinny Corp.’s Memphis branch is proud to announce their 1 Year Anniversary Event was a huge success.
There is nothing better than enjoying a little friendly competition while celebrating a great milestone. On Sunday, May 17, 2015 the Memphis Jinny Corp. branch celebrated their first anniversary with their outstanding customers. The special day offered customers the opportunity to mingle with one another in the beautiful relaxed setting of the Mirimichi Golf Club—the #1 golf club of the city. Invited attendees participated in a shotgun/scramble golf competition and also indulged in a delicious lunch and dinner BBQ cookout on the patio. Jinny Corp. thanks their loyal customers for making this past year amazing, and they look forward to many more to come.
The title and the true meaning of this article is somewhat similar to President Ronald Reagan’s most famous statement to the Russian General Secretary Mr. Gorbachev on June 1987 in Berlin, when he stated “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall” referring to the wall that divided the Germany’s East and West, which would dramatically advance the cause of freedom and peace.
Obviously this article is meant for all OTC stores operating in America, so I am not referencing any major issues like freedom and/or peace. We live in the greatest nation on the planet and we are so fortunate and blessed to have great freedom and rights. So why is it that OTC stores have constrained themselves for so long? OTC stores have caged themselves, limiting their prosperity and growth. This needs to change.
The fact is that Jinny Corporation is by far the largest “ethnic” and multicultural distributor for chemical hair care products and beauty general merchandise in the world. We have represented and protected this special niche industry for over 35 years and this is what we know best. But as time changes, the demographics and businesses around you change, so WE NEED to change with time and our surroundings as well!
The posters featuring only African American women that are placed in your store windows—in most cases covering your windows from top to bottom and often times also the entire concrete wall surrounding your building—need to be torn down. Below are some of the reasons why our OTC stores need to tear these posters down.
(This list below is not in the order of importance)
1. The OTC store may portray to outside consumers that they only want to do business with and only service “African American women.” We need to grow business and cater to all types of races that live and work near the store location and not just focus on the female African American population.
2. No retailer in America practices this type of activity of catering to one race besides OTC beauty supply stores; not Wal-Mart, Sally, Ulta, Walgreens, Sephora, Big Lots, Bass Pro Shop, Kroger Grocery, Whole Foods, Target, McDonald’s and so on. No other retailer displays only one race (African American, Caucasian, Asian, Mexican or Indian person and so on) in the front of their window consistently.
3. Some non-African American woman could view this as being “racist” towards them. This could be a reverse racism and could invite a law suit from non-African American people.
4. It has, could, and will lead to more robbery and theft in your store. Because your windows are covered from top to bottom, no one can view the activity inside your store.
5. It devalues the store in the eyes of the new potential customer. These posters create a “small local store” image. A potential customer may think everything must be cheap in that store and it may only attract “below average” consumers.
6. The poster’s hair styles are outdated because these posters have been up for years. It tells the consumer that the store is old fashioned and not up to date.
7. The word “exclusive” has not existed in the hair market for quite some time now. No human hair importer can afford to give exclusivity to any one particular OTC store for many good business and survival reasons, thus advertising these hair brands using African American women on the outside window posters does not have the same impact as it did years ago. 8. Just because we have all practiced this antiquated way of covering all the windows with posters of African American women, does not mean this is the right thing to do in 2015! Jinny’s biggest complaint from our customers is that all want special treatment from Jinny. I totally understand their request, but I don’t understand why they all choose to act and look exactly the same from the outside to their own consumers!
9. The average OTC store has 15,000 to 200,000 different products displayed on its shelves and walls. Why limit yourself by covering your valuable window and wall space with products that cater to only one demographic? Your customer base has tremendous potential to expand if you market yourself a little differently.
10. These posters are not the only option to protect products from “sun ray damage.” There are many “sun proof” products that could be applied to your glass windows that can be used to protect your items from direct sunlight besides covering your outside window with these thick posters.
These are just some of the reasons why I suggest our OTC stores tear these posters down. In the next issue, I will share some good information on how to use your window space to increase your overall store business.
I urge all of our OTC beauty supply stores to change your store image from the outside and it could lead to a much better sales. Please know that this industry is one of the last dinosaurs that still exist in America, and I cannot express how important it is for our OTC stores nationwide to evolve so we can improve together as an industry.
It saddens me greatly when an OTC store owner tells me that he/she does not want his/her son or daughter to take over their business because they think there is no future in the beauty store business. This has been the root of all evil in our industry! The fact that we still do not have a strong second generation or a backup plan to take this business to another level is one of the biggest problems we face today.
I am a firm believer that everything starts with a good education of your industry and a willingness to change. At the same time, if you think you can or cannot, you are right, because you are the catalyst for change. Believe in yourselves and know that we can change for the better, and we will.

포스터를 뜯어내시죠, 사장님
본 기고문의 제목과 전달하고자 하는 의미는 로널드 레이건대통령이 1987년 고르바쵸프 러시아 공산당 서기장에게 동독과 서독으로 분리되어있던 베를린 장벽을 “고프바초프 서기장님 이 벽을 허물어 버립시다” 라는 한마디로 극적인 자유와 평화의 진전으로 이끌어낸 그 유명한 말과 다소 비슷하다고 볼수 있습니다. 본 기고문은 미국에서 매장을 갖고 비지니스를 하고있는 OTC 소매점들을 위한 것일뿐 “자유와 평화” 와 같은 거창한 이슈에 대한 이야기를 하려는 것이 아닙니다. 세계에서 가장 위대한 나라에 살고 있으며 자유와 평화를 우리의 권리로 누릴수 있다는 것은 복되고 축복 받은 것입니다. 그러나 지난 몇해동안 OTC 소매점들은 스스로를 작은 새장안에 가두고 이 위대한 나라에서 성장과 번영을 할 수 있는 권리를 제한하고 있다는 사실에 대해 언급하고자 합니다.
Jinny Corporation은 모발관리 화학제품과 미용관련 일반상품을 공급하고있는 세계 최대규모의 다민족 에트닉 도매상으로, 지난 35년간 최선을 다해 독특한 이 틈새 업계를 지키고 대표해 왔습니다. 그러나 시간이 흐름에 따라, 여러분 주위의 사업환경들도 변화해 왔습니다. 따라서 우리스스로도 이러한 변화에 맞게 바꾸어 나가야 합니다.
매장 창문의 위에서 아래까지 꽉채우고 심지어 건물 주변의 외벽까지 덮고있는 흑인여성을 모델로 하고있는 광고포스터를 이제는 뜯어내야 합니다. 왜 우리의 OTC소매점들이그런 포스터들을 뜯어 내야하는지에 대한 저의 주장에 대해 아래와 같이 설명드리고자 합니다.
(아래의 번호는 중요한 순서대로 나열한것이 아님)
1. OTC 소매점이 매장 밖의 손님들에게 “African America 여성”만을 대상으로 장사하고 있다는 것으로 보여질수 있습니다. 우리는 오직 African American 여성인구에 초점을 집중하는것이 아니고 매장 주변에서 생활하고
일하는 모든 소비자를 대상으로 서비스를 제공하며 장사하기를 원한다는것을 보여줘야 합니다.
2. OTC Beauty Supply를 제외하고 미국에서 운영되는 소매점들 ; Wal-Mart, Sally, Ulta, Walgreens, Sephora, Big Lots, Bass Pro Shop, Kroger Grocery, Whole Foods, Target, McDonalds, etc, 들도 African American, Caucasian, Asian, Mexican 또는 Indian 등 오직 하나의 인종만을 내세운 광고를 창문에 부착하지는 않습니다.
3. 일부 타인종 여성들의 입장에서 그것은 인종차별로 보여질수도 있으며 이는 그들로 하여금 역인종차별의 법적인 문제로 야기될수도 있습니다.
4. 매장 창문 전체가 광고로 가려져있어 밖에서 매장안의 어떤 움직임도 보이지 않기 때문에 과거에 빈번히 발생했고 지금도 발생하고있는 총을 든 강도의 침입을 더 많이 유발하게 될 소지가 있습니다.
5. 중요한 단골이 될지도 모를 새로운 고객에게 매장이 평가절하된 모습으로 보여지게 됩니다. 그런 포스터광고가 조그만 구멍가게 이미지를 만들어 내어 고객이 될수도 있는 잠재적인 사람들에게 매장안의 물건들이 싸구려 제품 일것이라는 확신을 주게 되고 평균이하의 손님들만 매장으로 끌어들이게 되는 결과를 불러올수 있습니다.
6. 모델의 머리 스타일들이 해를넘게 계속 부착되어 있기때문에 유행에 뒤떨어져있고 이는 곧 손님들에게 유행에 둔감한 구식의 매장으로 인식하게끔 보여집니다.
7. 꽤 오래전부터 머리시장 에 “독점(Exclusive)판매”라는 말은 존재하지 않게 되었습니다. 아무리 특별한 OTC소매점이라해도 사업영역의 확대와 생존을 위해 독점판매를 허용해 줄수있는 Human Hair 수입업체가 없기때문입니다.
결국 African American 여성을 모델로한 포스터의 창문광고는 이미 오래전부터 별다른 영향을 미치지 못하고 있습니다.
8. 모두가 관행처럼 그렇게 해 왔다는 이유로 2015년에도 이런 구태의연한 African American 여성 포스터를 창문 전체에 부착하는것이 옳다는것은 무의미합니다. (고객님들로부터 지니가 받는 가장 큰 불만사항은 그분들이 특별하게 대우를 받고싶어 한다는 것입니다. 저는 고객님들의 이러한 요구를 충분히 이해합니다만, 왜 고객님들은 여러분의 매장을 손님들에게 특별함이 없이 똑같아 보이게 하고있는지 의문입니다.)
9. 일반적으로 Beauty Supply매장에는 대략 15,000 에서 200,000가지의 다양한 제품을 구비하고 있음에도 불구하고 왜 African America 여성을 내세운 몇가지 브랜드 제품의 포스터광고로 창문 전체를 도배하여 한정된 제품장르만 제한하여 취급하는것으로 보여주려는걸까요??!!
10. 창문에 부착된 포스터가 태양광선으로부터 매장안의 제품손상을 막아주는 유일한 방법만은 아닙니다. 창문에 부착된 두꺼운 African American 여성 포스터가 아니더라도 태양의 직사광선으로 부터 보호받는 수 많은 내광성 제이 있습니다.
이러한 이유로 저는 OTC소매점들이 그런 포스터들을 뜯어 내야한다고 제안하는 것 입니다. 다음호에는 “매점창문을 활용하여 전체적인매상을 올릴수 있는 방법”에 대한 저의 의견을 피력하고자 합니다.
저는 모든 OTC Beauty Supply 소매점들에 대해 여러분 매장의 외관 이미지를 바꾸어여 한다고 강력하게 추천합니다. 그렇게 하는것이 더 많은 매출을 올리수 있는 첩경이 될것입니다. 지금 우리의 이 업계는 미국에 살아남은 하나의 마지막 공룡이라는 점을 인지해 주시기 바라며, 저희의 전국적인 OTC소매점들이 현재보다 월등히 좋아질수 있도록 변화해햐 한다는 저의 주장은 아무리 강조해도 부족함이 없습니다.
OTC소매점의 주인으로부터 더이상의 미래가 보이지 않기 때문에 그들의 매장이나 사업을 자녀에게 불려주고 싶지 않다는 말을 들을때 저는 얼마나 가슴아픈지 모릅니다. 이는 곧 우리의 업계를 병들게하는 근원이 됩니다. 현재 우리가 직면하고있는 가장큰 문제중에 하나는 이 사업을 새로운 차원으로 발전시켜나갈 대비책과 이끌어 나갈 우수한 제 2세대가 없다는 사실입니다.
나는 “모든 시작은 자신이 속한 업계에 대한 올바른 이해와 변화에 대한 굳은의지”동시에“자신이 할수 있던 없던간에 자신이 옳다는 믿음”에서 비롯된다고 확신합니다. 우리가 보다 나은 변화를 만들수 있다고 믿으십시요, 그리고 우리는 그렇게 할것입니다.

Jinny Beauty Supply of Detroit Opens up January 26, 2015.
Jinny United has done it again!
The world’s largest multi-cultural beauty and professional salon/barber distributor proudly opened their 10th distribution center in Detroit, Michigan.
The new Detroit warehouse opened on January 26, 2015 and covers an expansive floor space of 62,000 square feet. Now Jinny United’s total warehouse square footage is slightly under 1.4 million square feet.
Mr. Ted Yoon will be in charge of the new Jinny Detroit branch. Previously he was the Chicago branch sales manager, and now Alex Yoon will fill that position.
Ted Yoon, when asked how he views the possibilities with opening this new location, he stated, “I see a brighter future in Detroit because now we will be able to service OTC customers within the same day.”
As with all new branches of Jinny United, Jinny wanted to thank all of their vendors and customers for their support. When asked how he views the OTC industry in 2015, Eddie Jhin stated, “The OTC industry will be very challenging this year. Distributors and stores must change how they do business in order to survive in 2015.” As for the plans for the rest of 2015, Eddie Jhin stated, “There will be several more locations that will be opening up this year.”
