We tip our hats today to businesses that promote brand Jamaica and in particular ‘Trends: All Things Beautiful’, a trade show held last Saturday on the manicured North Lawns of Devon House. Amongst the exhibitors was 926 Beauty Supplies, which has been manufacturing and distributing a cosmetics line since 1984. Although the company runs a small-scale operation, proprietor and chemist Catherine Galma-Tucker expressed pride at the growth of the company despite several potential financial challenges in the global market. Your Under the Dryer team shares highlights of makeovers done using the Turah Cosmetics line.
