THE ISLAND OF BEAUTY JOURNEY...
Our story dates back to more than 20 years ago when Bridgette Simpson and Saskiea Halley first met at a gallery gift store in Nordstrom. The two immediately hit it off, and the journey to beautifying black women began.
Unfortunately, life took its course, and Bridgette and Saskiea took different paths. However, they didn't lose track of their goal. They spent hours holding long phone call conversations, regularly mailing each other and fussing about the ideal ingredients.
The reality finally dawned on when they both experienced hair loss. And we all know that a woman's low point is when she can't feel pretty in her own hair. As survivors of hair thinning, which eventually resulted in hair loss, Bridgette's and Saskiea's quests to provide ideal hair solutions grew stronger.
They relocated to the same city and the long years spent on researching, finally paid off. But something was holding Bridgette and Saskiea back.

about Us
Bridgette was afraid of being judged because, at some point in life, she served time. This weighed her back. She didn't want her co-owned company to be identified for the wrong reasons.
Saskiea, on the other hand, was scared of stepping in front of the cameras. At the time, they opted to have other girls model the hair extensions instead.
These two amazing ladies had a solution to a problem most black women experience. But, their feeling of inadequacy, imperfection, and fear was holding them back (Haven’t we all).
