Ill Joe and Eunicet)udley have turned an out-of-the-kitchen business into a thriv ing, nationally-known enterprise. Dudley Products: 25 Years of Commitment In the last 25 years, Joe and Eunice Dudley have taken Dudley Prod ucts from a small family business, where products were made on the kitchen stove, and built it into one of the most respected giants in the beauty industry. 'We have grown because we always reached out to help the commu- ? nity," said Eunice M. Dudley, Dudley Products' chief financial officer, "Our focus stays on helping our community and the youth. We want them to survive and succeed." Today, they manufacture and distribute more than 120 professional and retail hair care products and personal care cosmetics directly to cosme tologists world-wide. Dudley Products also operates three beauty schools, an advanced training academy, a hotel and a travel agency. Keeping in line with its slogan, "In Partnership with the Professional Cosmetologist," Dud ley Products products cosmetology training materials and videos, style ? books and client hair care information. . % In 1989, Dudley Products opened Dudley Cosmetology University because Joe L. Dudley Sr. believed in cosmetologists. "I believe cosmetologists can live their dreams because they are the chosen people. Now I've given you a home where you can network, learn, develop and become an example for the world," he said. Over the past three years, more than 5000 licensed cosmetologists have attended classes at DCU. Because DCU classes feature hands-on ses sions, hundreds of Triad-area youths can obtain free hair services. The Los Angeles business community benefitted from DCU efforts as well. DCU's advanced training academy united its alumni to aide the vic tims of the Los Angeles riots. Nationally, more than 3400 alumni responded to the plea of cosmetologists who had lost their businesses dur ing the destruction. DCU and it's alumni created the DCU Alumni Resur rection to Beauty Fund and helped 36 cosmetologists rebuild their busi nesses. Dudley Products also established a corporate mentoring program for 73 students at James B. Dudley High School in Greensboro. Thirty-six young men (The Dudley bellows) and 1 / young ladies (The Dudley Ladies) must maintain at 3.0 grade point average to participate in the pro gram. Company conferences and motivational exercises are mandatory for the Fellows and Ladies. Dudley l*roducts employees believe that inspiring and providing leadership for our youth will build a better tomorrow. Each employee donates six dollars per week to fund these projects. CommiHiity involvement also includes 26 four-year renewable schol arships given to students seeking to study business at North Carolina A&T State University or Bennett College in Greensboro. N.C. The newest pro ject for Dudley Products is ComPAss. This uniquely designed program supports and directs college-bound minority students with a high aptitude and interest in math. ComPAss prepares its participants for careers in accounting. Students receive expert advice from professors of local univer sities, accounting professionals and Dudley account executives. The men and women that visit beauty and barber salons regularly also benefit from Dudley Products. Their cosmetologists distribute a quarterly styling magazine called Salon Currents. The publication addresses the client's concerns and interests in salon services. Each magazine focuses on tips for seasonal hair care and maintenance. Dudley Products is spreading the community spirit across the nation in the form of Salon Currents magazine. The upcoming issue is special because black newspapers across the country will carry copies of the maga ^ffnes directly to homes. Look next week in your local black newspaper for this full-color magazine. It will help you decide on that cut you want, that color you desire, that product you can't find. But that's not the exciting part. The issue features a chance for you to win fabulous prizes. Would you like to win two round-trip tickets to any where in the U.S.? A full length fur coat or a brand new car? These prizes could be yours by simply reading Salon Currents and completing the puz zle on the back, picking up a subscription sheet from your tavonte stylist and mailing them in. Contest rules and regulations will be in the Salon Currents. Winners are randomly selected from the pool of correct answers. This promotion allows Dudley Products to say thank you to the black community for its support over the past 25 years. "Committed to the Com munity" has been the company philosophy since the days when Dudley products were made on Mrs. Dudley s kitchen stove.
