Look your best, dress to impress for Carnival!

Coleen James of CMJ Wigs & Weaves will be in Antigua this Friday July 16th to August 4th to help you get ready for Carnival.

Mother, student, teacher and entrepreneur, Coleen Melissa James (CMJ), is bringing her fashion and beauty wares to St. John's just in time for Carnival.


James is originally from New Winthropes Village, growing up with her family in Brooklyn, New York.  This go-getter attended Florida State University, where she received her Bachelors of Science (BS) in Communications.  After graduating, she moved to Atlanta, Georgia and received her Masters in Business Adminstration (MBA), with a concentration in Marketing. James is now working on her terminal degree, a Doctorate in Business Administration (DBA) with a concentration in Management at Argosy University to be completed by 2013.  James, a single mom, is also an adjunct professor at a local university in Atlanta.

Despite such a heavy schedule, James founded CMJ Wigs & Weaves early 2010, with the intention of it becoming an online marketing company selling wigs and weaves via the Internet. She will be coming to Antigua from July 16th to August 4th, to launch her company with the support of her fellow Antiguans because she believes it is a much-needed service for Antigua.  James will be selling her products in front of Rising Star during the run-up to Carnival because, as she puts it, "I know how my people like to fete!". 

In addition to selling wigs and weaves, she is also offering skinny jeans, name-brand bags, pouches and wallets, 100% human eyelashes, ladies sandals, jeans dresses and rompers, infant girls clothes sizes 6 mos to 4T, and name-brand T-shirts for men.
 
This is where you come in.  James is very conscious of the fact that this venture will not be a success without local support.  Customers will be asked to complete a brief survey and visit her website which will launch in September, 2010.  Questions posed will be vital to the launch so that she can provide the wigs and weaves in the colours, lengths and styles that Antiguan women want.  So drop by her table, because your opinion will definitely be counted. And really now, how many times has a company gathered your opinions about the products they sell?

CMJ Wigs & Weaves will be located outside Rising Star at St. Mary's and Market Sts.   For more info, call 268-771-9018 or email jamesc@bellsouth.net, or visit her Facebook page.
