Lift every voice and sing, till earth and heaven ring,
Ring with the harmonies of liberty;
Let our rejoicing rise, high as the listening skies,
Let it resound loud as the rolling sea.
Sing a song full of the faith

Sing a song full of hope
That the present has brought us;
Facing the rising sun of our new day begun,
Let us march on till victory is won.

The look of a beauty salon back in the day
From our first moments on the
shores of this new country, we had to fight
and rejoice in our own sovereign selfdefinition. Our survival, our souls, our
sustenance depended on our inner fire.
The dominant culture defined us as
the other, our skin color was too dark; it
was dirty, our lips too thick, our nose too
broad and OUR HAIR, our hair was like the
“dark continent” we had journeyed from,
unfathomable. The outside definition of

us was filled with derision, malice
and lack of knowledge, but our souls
journeyed to our own self-definition
filled with joy, beauty and the quest to
survive victoriously. The maintenance
of our skin, our hair and our souls
survived as we journeyed in this new
land. As we moved from slavery into

our own neighborhoods, our attention
to our beauty began to flourish, denied
access into the dominant society through
segregation, limited to menial jobs we
developed our own businesses, our own
economic foundation, our own sense of
value, worth, and beauty.

The beauty industry became a
seed that was nourished and soon
became a sovereign business within
our community.. The first two women
millionaires of note were both in the
beauty industry and were born within
two years of each other. Annie Turnbo

What a strong foundation and from this
foundation we move to New Mexico
and the illustrious ,and growing Beauty
Industry within our state.
The barbers and beauticians whom
I spoke with remembered sitting in the
family kitchen a hot comb on the stove
waiting for their hair to be pressed or
watching their mother press the hair of
a sister or neighbor as they got ready
for church or some other event in the
community.
The men remembered
sitting on the porch as an uncle or brother
cut your hair, watching and learning.
Cutting hair was a way to make a little
extra money in hard times. These were
early lessons in self-discovery.

distributing her product and by 1910 she
was distributing her product nationally.
One of Annie’s recruits in the distribution
of her product was Sarah Breedlove
who changed her name to MADAM
C.J.WALKER. Born in 1867 Madam
C. J. Walker went from distributing to
developing her own line of products and
also became a millionaire in the African

There were always barber and
beauty shops if you could afford to go,
places of sanctuary, and culture, places

nurture and enhancement. A place where
you can walk in, no matter what town or
city and feel at home. The seeds to going
into this industry have their roots in these
warm experiences.

her father’s property. She had found
her love. Ms. Boyer kept herself sharp
and continued her learning through
seminars conducted by Ms. Rubelia
Patterson Cox, also of Hobbs NM. Ms.
Boyer remembers learning the skill of
hair weaving at one of these seminars
in the late fifties or early sixties. Mrs.
Boyer would do hair for the women at
Walker Air force Base and students at
the NM Military Institute.
Delores Boyer of Roswell NM
and a descendant of the Boyer family
that founded Blackdom NM, grabbed a
hold of this seed. She was a product of
both a segregated and integrated Roswell
School system.
She first attended
George Washington Carver High School
but began attending Roswell high
School when the schools in Roswell
were integrated. Delores graduated
from Roswell High in 1956 and was
determined to be a beautician. At that
time, there was an African American
Beauty college owned by Dorothy
Johnson in Hobbs NM. The school was
called The Progressive School of Beauty
Culture and was attached to the Home of
Ms Johnson. The school had dormitories
and graduated approximately 12 students
every 6 months from it’s 6 month
training program. Ms. Boyer graduated
from this program in 1957, and moved
back to Roswell to set up her own beauty

Carmen Jones of Boston MA
Carmen is married to Robert Jones and they
have 3 children and 2 grandchildren. They
arrived in Albuquerque after leaving Boston
on April 7, 1988. "In 1995 my husband and I
established our salon in our home where I
could continue to care for our youngest
child, and still do what I loved. After
establishing my clientele my business
grew to where I needed more space.
That is when I moved into a store
front at 218 Truman. After a
successful 7 years, we bought our
second location at 1611 Carlisle in
southeast Albuquerque. We have
been at the Carlisle location for the
past 10 years."
Carmen's career choice was
inspired early in her life. "My father
was a master barber and a proud
owner of a barbershop called, Rough
Cuts. It was fascinating as a young girl
to watch my family do each other's hair
in the kitchen on Saturday mornings. I
love being a part of the ever-changing
community of hair. The continual
opportunity to meet new people provides
uniquely gratifying rewards. And more than
anything else, I love teaching my clients
how to care for their hair at home."

Lovie Waites,
born in Marlin, Texas, had the dream
of owning her own beauty shop from
childhood. She learned to press and cut
hair watching her mother. She saw a
beauty shop in Marlin called Marquisette
and fell in love with the name, deciding
she would one day have a shop called
Marquisette.

She is proud of her industry, proud
of the young people who now carry the
baton forward. She finds hair as exciting
now as she did when she dreamed of her
own shop as a child. She lights up when
she speaks of hair and all the new styles.
Lovie says, “With all the new changes,
and new styles the principles of hair
care have remained the same.” Lovie‘s
favorite style is the old fashion press and
curl with a little elbow grease. Lovie
was a member of the State Cosmetology
licensing board following Mrs. Boyd
who was the first African American to
serve on the board.
New Mexico
Beauticians
In 1956, Lovie also attended the
African American owned Dixerson
School of Beauty Culture in Fort Worth,
Texas. The school had dormitories and a
(9) month program that graduated about
(15) students. Lovie graduated from
the program and took her state boards
in Austin, Texas. She found a job in
an Anglo shop in Texas, but was only
allowed to assist, with shampoo’s and
cleaning up the shop. Lovie moved to
Albuquerque NM, in 1958, when her
husband’s company located him here to
help construct the Western Skies Hotel.
In the 1990’s migration from other
states brought more African Americans
into the state of New Mexico. They were
looking for places to get hair products,
hair ,weaves, braids and nails. The beauty
industry was growing and expanding.
New entrepreneurial industries began to
flourish such as African American owned
beauty supply houses, like Lorinda’s.
Lovie started looking for the
beauty shops and found there was a
foundation of shops in Albuquerque.
T. Thomas had a shop; Mrs. Hardeman
had a shop on Arno; Mrs. Hanks had a
shop on Pacific; and Mrs. Ruby Foster
had a shop on Edith. There was also a
Wynona’s beauty shop. Lovie worked in
a few of these shops before starting her
own shop in 1963. And yes she called it
Marquisette.
Lorinda’s family were entrepreneurs
owning high end grocery stores that
catered to celebrities in Chicago. Coming
to New Mexico, she noticed a need for
African American hair-care products
and opened Lorinda’s. Albuquerque
now has a number of African American
owned beauty-supply stores and a host
of African American stylist.
Lovie kept herself sharp by going to
seminars put on by DeWolfe and Heights
Beauty College here in Albuquerque.
She also attended the big hair shows
in Philadelphia and California. She
even started putting on her own fashion
shows. Lovie still loves hair and wishes
she was still doing hair. Lovie has seen
it come to a fine art with the weaves and
the braiding, the hair pieces, and the full
wigs. She remembers when the cost of a
perm was $12.00, and a press could go as
low as 50 cents.

She has been a hair stylist for 28 years, and has
been involved in the hair industry as a distributor
for 26 or those 28 years. While in Colorado
between the years 1986 to 2010, Miriam owned

In 2010, her husband's job moved them to
Albuquerque, and a year later, in May of 2011;
Miriam opened her present store named "Got

Miriam explains the reason she became
involved in the business. "I was raised in
Germany and had a difficult time finding
someone who knew how to do my hair. That
motivated me to style my own hair, and I
became very good at it. By the time I moved
to America, I had enough experience to
expand my skills as a stylist and incorporate the
supply element of the business."
"I enjoy everything about the business I am in;
it is a rewarding career. Although, I am
currently only active in the supply end of
industry, I enjoy providing the best customer
satisfaction I can for my customers."

only Barber shops in town. Patrick’s love
of hair and his dedication to keeping his

Rose Davis-Louis was born in Victoria, Texas, and
moved with her husband Odell Louis to
Albuquerque, New Mexico, in 1982. Rose and
Odell have four children, Michael, Elmer, Felicia,
and Toby. Rose found that there was a need for
beauticians who could address the hair needs of
African Americans. Rose decided to go to school,
because of her frustration with having to go to
Amarillo, Texas to get her hair done.
"My dream as a kid was to be a beautician, or an
elementary school teacher. So this was my
opportunity to pursue my dream. I went to Hollywood
Beauty College, under the instruction of one of the
Pioneers in the hair business, Ms Liz Griffin. Ms Liz
gave me my first job right out of school. When she closed her shop, her advice to
me was that I needed to open up my own Salon. Well, I took her advice in 1989;
I've been in the business now for 23years, with over 30yrs of experience."
Rose says she had two great women who have inspired her to work in the field of
cosmetology. Ms. Liz Griffin, and Madeen James, both were pioneers in the
beauty industry. Madeen introduced her to the National Beauty Culturists League
(NBCL). Rose joined the Nationals and continued her education in the field
receiving a Bachelor, Master's and Doctorate Degrees of the arts of Beauty
Culture, from the National Institute of Cosmetology.
She has serviced as Ambassador Mid West region for the (NBCL), and on their
Board of Directors. She has taught special classes at DeWolff, TVI and A Better

Albuquerque's People's Choice Award. She serviced as President of the New

“Providing loans and assistance
to improve the social and
economic conditions of New
Mexicans”
Leroy Pacheco,
President & CEO
of The Loan Fund
accepting a check
from new Mission
Partner Kay Hicks.
Kay Hicks has just become a
Mission Partner of the Loan Fund by
investing $5,000 with the organization.
This is a tremendous concept that Hicks
has engaged in with the Loan Fund that
she feels will maximize her investment
potential.
“I’m proud to be using my money
to invest with a local organization that
gives back to small and minority-owned
businesses. It is rewarding to know my
investment won’t be sitting around in
some bank unavailable to those that need
it most. I am honored to be a partner
in helping to make New Mexico strong,”
explained Hicks.
The financial contribution that
Hicks has invested with the Loan Fund
will be loaned out in the community
locally to do exactly as Hicks has
detailed, according to Leroy Pacheco,
President & CEO of The Loan Fund.
“What Kay is doing is helping
businesses locally, and as their business
grows and becomes prosperous, they
create jobs and services that will
eventually promote a stronger and
healthier economy for New Mexico.
Small-business owners are the backbone
of our economy, and our Mission
Partners are playing an important role in
their ability to grow, and survive, which
in turn provide stability for our state,”
said Pacheco.
The funds that Hicks invest with
the Loan Fund will earn her interest at
a better or the same rate as other lending
agencies, and she can access her funds at
any time.

the Loan Fund Mission Partner program

The Buffalo Soldiers Society of
New Mexico today informs
adults and youth about the history of those who came before
them. The Society consists of 25
members from various walks of
life. From retired members of all
branches of the military to a retired Boy Scout leader, today’s
Buffalo Soldiers share the same
dedication to the uniform as the
original Buffalo Soldiers did.
The New Mexico unit performs
at schools, colleges, historical
societies, parades, and government events. These Buffalo Soldiers are not re-enactors but educators. They describe themselves as a traveling museum as
they have from 50 to 70 authentic artifacts with them whenever
they give a presentation. The organization has received an endowment from the New Mexico Humanities Council to teach
the history of the Buffalo Soldiers.
The Buffalo
Soldiers served
as an inspiration
to those who
came after them
in the Air Force
and Navy,
including the
Tuskegee
Airmen and the
Golden Thirteen.
