Universal Beauty Supply, the go-to place for Black beauty supplies in Oakland, is closing its doors after spending five decades serving the community.
"I feel like I gave a lot of people jobs," Universal Beauty Supply owner John Sholes said."I accomplished a lot of things."
Sholes started the business to fill a void providing representation that he says was missing at the time.Sign up for NBC Bay Area’s Housing Deconstructed newsletter. "I was just trying to serve the community," he said."Trying to get something that everybody can take advantage of." Sholes, 84, planned to pass the business on to his daughter, but she died of COVID-19 during the pandemic, causing him to close his doors.
For many, including hair stylists like Glynis Holloway, Universal was much more than just a beauty supply store.
