by MY SMALL STORY
After 4 years, Georgia’s owners Jodie Becker & Kiara Ellozy, have decided to “close in order to expand” the beauty brand. On their last day of business, I stop by to talk with both about what they have learned running a NYC retail business and whats next for Georgia. Meet Sister-in-Laws Jodie and Kiara. Part beauty store and part salon, Georgia harbors a soft spot for the frizzy-haired masses. Named after co-founder Jodies corkscrew-curled daughter, their inspiration is Harlem native Madam CJ Walker. As a manufacturer of hair care products for African American women, Madame C. J. Walker, born Sarah Breedlove, became one of the first American women millionaires. http://www.georgiany.com/index.php
Georgiawas one of the first small business stories I filmed early last year.
