On October 13, 2009, employees at each Jinny Corp. location marked the three-year anniversary of the passing of Mr. Tae H. Jhin with intimate memorial services.
In memory of Jhin, employees gathered at their respective locations and offered prayers and words of kindness. Tae H. Jhin, the originator of Jinny Beauty Supply, started the company in Chicago, Ill. in 1981. Jhin is also credited with creating the new channel of distribution that opened thousands of beauty supply stores nationwide. Jhin’s impact is still seen today as the OTC beauty industry continues to thrive and as Jinny Corp. continues to expand nationally and internationally.
지난 10월 13일 고 진태훈 회장님의3주년 추모 기념 예배가 시카고, 아틀란타, 마이애미, 달라스 각 지점에서 있었으며, 임직원 모두 고 진 태훈 회장님께 애도의 마음을 표시 했습니다.
Jinny Beauty Supply의 창업주이신 고 진태훈회장님께서는 1981년 시카고를 시작으로 새로운 지점들을 개점하여 미주 전역을 연결하는 최고의 도매상으로 현재 수천여개의 Beauty Supply Store에 서비스를 제공하는 초석을 다지셨습니다.
고 진태훈회장님께서 보여주셨던 땀과 노력 그리고 애정은 OTC 업계의 지속적인 번영과 Jinny Corp.의 발전에 늘 함께 살아 계실 것 입니다.
Ever since the Jinny Chicago Branch relocated in December 2007 to the Village of Niles, IL.,
the company has longed to return to where Jinny Beauty Supply began in 1981— the old building back on Kimball Avenue.
The Kimball building was the first major real estate purchase made by the late Mr. Tae Hoon Jhin, founder of Jinny Corp. Jinny Corp now owns 100% of its massive 1,090,000 square feet of warehouse space in America alone. The Kimball building has brought Jinny much good fortune and after being vacant for over 16 months, the building will reopen its doors to customers in September 2009.
The 100,000 square foot building will be dedicated to opening the largest cash and carry operation in North America—a title currently held by the Atlanta JBS Beauty Club at 65,000 square feet.
Scott Jhin, who heads the Chicago Jinny Corp operation stated, “I feel that the Kimball Avenue location will serve our customers much better than our current Niles location. Now we can finally show our customers that we carry over 50,000 different items and they will be able to see that for themselves in our massive open space.”
Jhin added, “Our current building in Niles will focus on and serve our out-of-state customers, while our Kimball Avenue building will serve all of Chicago and nearby cities in the region.”
JBS Club of Chicago will open in September or early October 2009. The company has allocated just over 1.7 million dollars to upgrading the building so that it’s in tip-top shape both inside to outside. The renovation will virtually make the same building look completely different in an effort to make the buying experience for all customers unique and enticing.
Scott Jhin mentioned, “Our policy for all the JBS Clubs still remains the same, we will not sell to or solicit any salons, barbers and consumers of any sort. We feel this type of practice will always have an ill-effect on our OTC customers and we will always try our best to protect our OTC stores from such actions.”
The Kimball Avenue building’s grand opening ceremony will be held in October, the same day as Jinny Chicago Fall Tradeshow. The tradeshow will take place upstairs in the newly remodeled 20,000 square feet of space while the downstairs area will be the new JBS Beauty Club of Chicago.
Jinny Corp would like to invite all of its guests to this special event and will do their best to provide customers amazing service and the widest selection of top quality products. Jinny Corp. would like to thank everyone for their support and for giving the company an opportunity to serve its customers!!
After eight years in operation, JBS Hair Corp—a division of Jinny Beauty—completed its relocation to a new office, showroom and warehouse.
The buzz surrounding the relocation was huge and the dream was finally realized on August 9 when JBS Hair welcomed customers to an evening of food, celebration and fun to share in the success of the company during the new facility’s grand opening.
The event began with the arrival of guests at the front entrance of the brand new JBS Hair showroom. Immediately guests were shown to a spacious octagon-shaped room accented by regal dark wood floors, plush cranberry colored carpet, an upscale mirrored bar area and wall upon wall of JBS Hair products. In the center of the showroom—which featured casual sitting areas—was a small octagon shaped cove. The cove featured large, flat screen televisions that played JBS Hair commercials as well as behind-the-scenes footage from the commercial shoots.
Guests were then treated to an exclusive glimpse of the massive JBS Hair warehouse as they made their way to an outdoor, air-conditioned tent that offered a comfortable reprieve from the scorching Georgia heat. Inside, customers were treated to a catered dinner that featured a variety of items, including freshly prepared sushi. While the guests mingled and enjoyed their meals, Mr. Jimmy Choo of JBS Hair entertained them with his skills on the saxophone, followed by a formal welcome from the emcee for the evening, Mr. Jae Sung An of Jinny Corp Dallas. Guests were then provided with a brief history of JBS Hair and a heartfelt thank you from Mr. Chang Bum Seo and Mrs. Ann Jhin.
As the evening progressed, several beauty store owners were honored with Key Buyer Awards from JBS Hair and various games were played to determine which customers would have a chance to try their luck at grabbing cash in a money box. Of course, the night wouldn’t have been complete without lots of karaoke and dancing. In a grand opening that focused on thanking JBS Hair customers for their support and wishing good fortune to the new venture by JBS Hair, fun was had by all and none of the guests left empty-handed as prizes were awarded throughout the evening. One guest even walked away with a brand new 60” LG television after her beauty supply was recognized as the MVP store of the evening.
The newly renovated JBS Hair Corp facility is located at 3001 McCall Drive in Doraville, Ga. Please call 770-805-3000 for more information about the new facility. Also, be sure to speak with a sales representative about JBS Hair’s extensive selection of synthetic and human hair products.
Ever since Jinny Corp have started their hair business since August 2001, the hair department was always part of Jinny Corp, performing all the same business related functions as Jinny Corp has done over the years.
But from July of 2009, JBSHair will come out and be its own company. Eddie Jhin, President of Jinny Corp mentions, “We have had a tremendous amount of benefit from being together as Jinny Beauty Supply in one building over all these years.” He adds, “But I always knew that we had to be separated for many reasons, but due to my father passing away three years ago and also due to our poor past management in the hair department, I did not feel it would have benefited our company at those times to make such move in the past.”
However with the new management team of hair department, Jinny Corp strongly feels very confident that this team will be the right people to lead our hair business in the right direction for the company.
In only past six months, our JBSHair have made 13 new brands: Elegante; 100%Remi human hair front lace wigs, Satai; 100% Remi Yaky Weaving, Urban Beauty Karisma; Turning our number one brand to be the top of its own class, Beauti Collection Platinum; Making our number one selling unit brand to be even better, The Wig Box; First time since JBSHair have entered the synthetic full head wig market., Whisper; Front Lace Synthetic wig products, best brand name for this new market, Priv�; It’s a 100% human hair superior line of Yaky weave at its mid level pricing, Blacktide; Blended mix of natural hair for the bulk style of products, SHE; The first Pre-priced hair in the America history, blended to the best ratio mix possible without adding any unnecessary cost to its price. TruHair; Same quality as SHE but the texture is different, Mirage Hair Transformation; It’s the first Remi synthetic hair blended together with the very best in Korean and Japanese fibers, Isabella Hair Series; This is for the Spanish/European market 100% Remi Indian hair for the fusion, Clip-On and hand sewn master hair weave. With 24 European colors to choose from as well. The set comes in a safe lock display with its own keys and the quality is guaranteed 100% for two years with a money back policy. Lastly Urban Beauty La Chica; This is 100% for the Spanish market hair colors and lengths to gravitate to the ever growing Latinos in the American market. It will have 16 specially made hair colors to choose from and the lengths will start at 14″ to 22″ This also will be the first time that a Korean importer will get into this new market in masses in America as well.
With all these new brands and with the loyal management team, JBSHair will be moving to their new massive 80,000 square foot building by mid July of this year 2009. This building was the original building of Jinny Corp in Atlanta 13 years ago.
Eddie Jhin states,” Our main goal for our JBSHair company is to build our brands through consumers, stylists and OTC store awareness and have the people trust in our brands. We will fully support our brands through nation and local advertising and grass root marketing to increase the sale of our brands to support our OTC stores that carries our brands”. “Also we will use the strength of Jinny Corp to support our OTC stores with our 50,000 different items that we carry and not just the hair business in that particular store but also to increase the total business in all different types of products and to “give back” to our end consumers as well.”
“We would like to build a “win-win-win-win” situation for our OTC stores, end consumers and stylists, and for our factories in China to make sure that they can support their staff members and their families and lastly for our JBSHair Company”
Jinny Corp is very committed in their JBSHair Company and they would like to take the hair business globally and definitely try to reach the heights that several hair importers and distributors has and still doing in the American market.
Jhin comments, “After researching this hair market over the years, I think that we have the best potential to grow to be the largest hair importer in the world, but I know for fact that it will take some time and very smart marketing strategies, good number of support of good hearted staff members, and lastly building great relationships and support from the Far East factories (Korean and Chinese together).” He adds, “It will be almost impossible to make this happen within several years but I feel confident that in due time, all these issues will come together and make our dream come true”
On November 5, 2007, Jinny got keys to their new building in Niles, IL. The total square feet is 151,000 with 24 foot ceilings. With all the effort by Jinny staff members, they have successful moved completely into their much bigger, newer building on December 17, 2007. Scott Jhin, who will be in charge of the Chicago operation, stated, “I am looking forward to being back in Jinny; this is where I belong.” He added, “We will change some of the things that Chicago lacked and try our best to make all departments as strong as possible in 2008”.
Eddie Jhin, said, “As I have stated before, numerous times, this move to the newer and bigger building, and at the same time, bringing my brother into our comany, was a great idea from the start. There are things that we must learn from one another because there are things that he is good at that I am not, and vice versa. Now in 2008, I am glad that I can focus on other regions that I have not concentrated on as much as I should have done.”
Ann Jhin (CEO of Jinny) stated, “I am so happy to have my two boys join hands like this. I am sure that if my husband was around, he would be very shocked, but also very happy and proud deep inside. All I know is that I want to thank all of our Jinny United staff members for their hard work this year. We started in Chicago JBS in January, then to Miami JBS in May, then it was time for Dallas on August 15th with the opening on October 29th, and then we started on November 5th in Chicago, and completed the move on December 17th of this year.” “Most companies cannot even finish one grand opening in a year, but we have completed four grand openings since January and finished them all in one year. This is something that is remarkable and I am very proud of both my sons.”
On Monday, October 29, 2007, Jinny Corp. celebrated the grand opening of its newest branch, located in Dallas, Texas.
Dallas is Jinny Corp.’s fourth facility location, preceding Chicago, Atlanta and Miami. The event was an evening of dinner with a Texas flair, live music and entertainment that all of the guests could enjoy. Eddie Jhin, president of Jinny Corp., opened the facility with a speech; below is the transcript:
October 29, 2007
First of all, I would like to thank everyone for coming to Dallas to celebrate our Grand Opening celebration. This was the same building that my father had looked at almost two years ago and was in the process of negotiating the building price until he fell ill, and everything had to be placed on hold. But I am so glad that everything worked out the way he wanted. There are so many people to thank for this happening – from my real-estate broker Steve Berger, to our contractors CJ and his crew, and so many others who made this all come alive.
There are mainly three groups of people that I want to thank from the bottom of my heart: first is the Jinny staff members – those who are here today and those at the three other locations. Currently, we are 244 strong under our Jinny umbrella and now growing with the addition of our Dallas branch. I consider them to be the best in this industry, period! Because of them, within the two-and-a-half months that we have been working on opening Dallas, they have accomplished all of this! Without their support, Jinny could not have accomplished our current goals, or what we have set out to do for the future. My people know that I will always be behind them in whatever they do and that I am always there for them, to the end (but I try not to mention this to them too often to avoid them getting a big head)! But truly, I thank you for being who you are and for giving me the opportunity to be your top manager.
The second group that I want to thank is our vendors, brokers and sales reps. I do know that it is just part of your job to do the things you do for our company, but I know that if it wasn’t for your new ideas, products, services and the support that you give to our company, Jinny would not be a part of this industry. Although we sometimes fight, truthfully, I look forward to them so that our relationship can grow stronger by giving us the opportunity to know each other better. I know that we can work out any issues on the table because at the end of the day, we all have the same common goal: to sell and to bring the beauty in all of us.
The third group that I want to thank is my father and my mother, whom, without them, I would not be here talking to all of you and making this speech! My father and mother went through many hardships, both mentally and physically – more than I could ever imagine – and because of them, I was given the silver-spoon treatment and the life that I have now. I know this very well. Because I believe in knowing my past and understanding what was given to me, especially by my father, I do not take anything for granted. This was the first year that I have been in charge of running Jinny United in every aspect, without the advice and guidance of my father, and it has been the toughest year of my life. I know that some of the Jinny staff worry about my mental and physical health and that some of my vendors worry that we may be able to pay our bills on time, but to all of them, I say “don’t worry.” We have not been late this year one time with any payments to our vendors and I will try my best to keep this going…but I may need a little help for this first order for Dallas.
But honestly, I feel that I am getting stronger and stronger and this is getting easier and easier with what we have to do. And especially with my brother coming in to our company, I am much more at ease. In regards to that, we will be having another Grand Opening celebration in Chicago on January 21, 2008. We will have the key for that new building on November 1 of this year…so here we go again!
Lastly, I want to say thank you to all of our current and future customers for coming to this event. Please know that we will try our best to serve you in the best way possible. Please teach us, for we do not know your city or your business history. I ask for your support only when you see that we have earned it, and we will do our best to always earn it. Also, I do realize that Seven Dollar is having their trade show next week; I respectfully ask you to support their show. We come to your city in peace. You will notice that all the service levels from the distributor side will increase and you will see products that you have never seen before – this will be good for all of us.
I do not view my company as a destroyer of a market, but as a liberator. Look at our past records in places like Atlanta and Miami; we have more distributors in Atlanta than anywhere else in the country, and this tells you that we have created a marketplace where we all can make it and be successful. In Miami, our competitor is doing well, being more organized than ever before and still growing.
There are three things that we will all go through in life, no matter who we are: one is death, two is taxes and three is changes. We all change with time, but I also know that we fight change on a daily basis to keep what we are used to and what we spend so much time, energy and money on. But if you can accept and adapt to the changes that occur in your life, then you will have the upper hand in the short life we have on Earth.
The opening of the Dallas branch is all about creating change and how we can better ourselves in every way. There will be things that the Dallas branch will need to do that you are not used to doing – even different than what others have done – but I humbly ask my fellow vendors and customers to please give us an opportunity and the time, to see what changes we have coming up and to not make rash decisions based on silly rumors and different things that you are not accustomed to. Nurture and watch us as you would do to your young, growing child because he/she may or may not know what they are doing; give this child a chance to prove to you that he/she is going to a place that even you have not gone before. I seek support and service from our vendors and guidance and patience from our customers. With this, I promise all of you that this child will grow up to be a fine adult and represent you and bring you changes that you will eventually accept. In God we trust; thank you for being here and for supporting Jinny United.
Memorial Services for Jinny’s Founder were held on Friday, October 12th and Saturday, October 13th 2007.

On Monday, July 9th, after about one month worth of construction, the company cafeteria is finally ready and open for operation. This will serve as an area, where all the employees can enjoy a hot, delicious lunch and as a resting space.
Mr. Eddie Jhin, President of Jinny, has decided that the lunch will be provided to employees free of charge. He believes this will be an opportunity to create a sense of unity and bonding between all of the employees. This will allow the company to continue to grow stronger both internally and externally.
