UNBEWEAVABLE! NEW PROGRAM EMPOWERS AFRICAN AMERICAN WOMEN (AND MEN) FINANCIALLY IN THE $10 BILLION HAIR WEAVE INDUSTRY

-- Start your own hair business today, selling high-end hair at an affordable price --

Nationwide (BlackNews.com) -- There is a new, unique and very profitable black owned company named, The House Of Beautiful Hair, that is taking control of the $10 billion dollar hair weave industry that was once closed to African Americans. The company is creating financial stability for African American women and men - from business owners, stay-at-home moms, employed workers and even high school students - who wear hair weaves and have friends who wear hair extensions.

Sales of the company's top of the line virgin remy hair has been beyond tremendous due to the independent business owners within the parent company that are moving the hair product throughout the country and earning modest to big incomes either in a part-time or full-time capacity. All of this without buying and stocking any inventory.

According to Raven L. Mahdee, an independent business owner with the company, people are earning enough money to help pay their rent/mortgages, car notes, health bills and all other bills that had been a financial strain on their family budgets.

Besides the generous incomes, African American women are strongly drawn to the business model because of the simplicity and the desire to no longer be just consumers in a market which they created, but have been 95% consumers. Until Now!

In speaking with company leaders, a conscious decision was made to make the investment of $9.97 a month to be an independent business owner. This allows people - from small to large economic means - to have a legitimate opportunity to tap hard into this multi-billion dollar industry which continues to spiral upwards.

Due to the popularity of the company, one New York based production company that produces reality shows for Bravo, Lifetime and the History channels, has contacted The House of Beautiful Hair founders about a possible series of episodes documenting the company's success.

For more information on the company, contact Raven L. Mahdee at (661) 472-9559 or go directly to www.xtasyhair.com and sign-in for a free tour of The House Of Beautiful Hair.

PUBLIC SCHOOL,,SUMMER BREAK

PUBLIC SCHOOL

SUMMER BREAK

 

 

Thursday is the last day of public school before summer vacation. That means the AM commute will ease up a bit, and that kids will be out and about. It also means parking spots will open up in "No Parking on School Days" zones. Beware, though, since sometimes schools will hold teacher trainings, conferences, or summer programs during which the No Parking on School Days rules are in effect. The only way to know for sure if you're allowed to park in that zone is to call the school and find out their schedule. 

Fwd: INCREASE IN CREDIT CARD SURCHARGE | Street Hail Livery (Boro Taxi) Information Sessions

June 17, 2014 To All Interested Parties: Industry Notice #14-27 June 17 2014 For Immediate Release INCREASE IN CREDIT CARD SURCHARGE Effective June 22, 2014, the credit card surcharge will increase for all leases. For daily leases, the credit card surcharge will now be $11 per shift (up from $10 per shift). For weekly fleet leases, the credit card surcharge will now be $66 per week (up from $60 per week). For weekly Driver-Owned Vehicle (DOV) leases, the credit card surcharge will now be $132 per week (up from $120 per week). Why is the Credit Card Surcharge Increasing? Since September 30, 2012, drivers have paid a flat credit card surcharge per shift or per week instead of a 5-percent fee based off of credit card transactions. Under TLC Rules §58-21(c)(5)(xi)(D), TLC reviews credit card fares each June and December to determine if the credit card processing surcharge covers five percent of the average total credit card fares collected within a shift. In December 2013, TLC performed the review using taxi trip data collected through TPEP. From August through November 2013, average credit card fares totaled $212.68 per shift, yielding a calculated surcharge of $11 per shift. For weekly fleet leases, the credit card surcharge increases from $60 to $66 per week. For weekly DOV leases, the credit card surcharge increases from $120 to $132 per week. To All Interested Parties: Industry Notice #14-26 June 17 2014 For Immediate Release Street Hail Livery (Boro Taxi) Information Sessions ------ Up to 6,000 New SHL Permits will be issued beginning in August 2014 The New York City Taxi and Limousine Commission (TLC) will be hosting information sessions for licensees who have applied for or purchased a Street Hail Livery (SHL) permit or base endorsement.
