Beverly Mascoll went from being a receptionist to the owner of a multi-million dollar beauty supply business in 1970’s Canada
Mascoll would travel to Chicago and met with founder of Johnson Products Company George Ellis Johnson Sr. Mascoll was able to convince Johnson to make her company the first and only Canadian distributor of Johnson Products. Once she got back to Toronto, Mascoll would see her company change from selling products out of her home to becoming one of the top distributors of Black beauty products in Canada. Mascoll beauty supply chain stores would became a multi-million dollar business, Natasha Henry said, a black history educator. By 1971, Mascoll’s Beauty Supply was helping Black haircare entrepreneurs succeed in racism and exclusion. Mascoll started adding conferences and beauty demonstrations as well as professional hair care seminars to her business in the 1980s.
In 1984, she organized the first-ever Black beauty trade show in Canada. In the 1990s, her beauty supply company had five locations, including in Scarborough, Mississauga and Brampton. In 1999, Ryerson University’s Faculty of Business awarded the businesswoman with an Honorary Doctorate of Laws. Despite being in her 50s, she knew the significance of earning a degree. In the 2000s, she received her Bachelor of Arts degree from York University, in Women’s Studies. Mascoll passed away a year later of breast cancer at the age of 59.
