Subject: BBSA/Discriminitory practices in the black hair care business
Hello,
My name is Delores Jordan and I am co-owner of Mia Amour Beauty Supply Store, located at 249 Mt. Holly and Huntersville Rd, Charlotte N.C., Suite #240 You spoke to my business partner Eric McCants which is why I'm writing you today. We have been experiencing extreme difficulty trying to purchase hair and hair care products. On May 15, 2007, I was on the phone with a representative from JBS Hair beauty supply company named John Lee. He is in charge of the Charlotte North Carolina district and the same person who told my business partner a week prior that we would need to spend a minimum of $3,500 dollars to be able to obtain them as a hair supplier. But when we called back just a week later to schedule an appointment to open an account Mr Lee said that their policies had changed as of May 1, 2007 and now it would require a minimum spending limit of $10,000 dollars to open an account. So I inquired about the policy for pre-existing customers who already had an open account for their hair care products. I wanted to know would they fall under the old guidelines since it was $3,500 when we signed up as a customer and I was told that it didn't matter when or for how long we had been a customer, they were no longer honoring that agreement. Mr. Lee appeared to be very agitated when I questioned him about this change and found it humorous that I couldn't believe that they had change their policies so quickly when we had just spoken to him a week prior. On both occasion when we spoke to Mr. Lee he questioned our location and stated he wanted to make sure he could distribute to my company based on our location and competitiveness with his other clients. Which sounded very suspicious to me considering that this is a country that promotes free enterprise and frowns down upon monopolies. I have also been experiencing difficulty contacting other hair distributors such as Zury, Janet, Hollywood, Milky Way and Jenny. I have made several attempts to contact these companies either through email or telephone to no avail. So if there is any thing that I can do to help this cause or prevent this treatment to anyone else please count me in. Thank you in advance for your help in this matter.
Sincerely,
Delores Jordan & Eric McCants
