ATLANTA – April 25, 2023 – PRLog — Serial entrepreneur and professional Celebrity Make-up Artist & Hair Stylist Tiffane Nicol cemented her way into history by becoming the Founder of the first Historically Black Cosmetology University.

About the Founder & The University

Tiffane Nichol has more than 15 years of experience owning salons and spas. Driven by her passion to support the success of others. Nine years ago, she caught the vision to diversify her business model and become a new resource that would remain relevant in the beauty industry. Through the utilization of her knowledge and years of experience, “Style Mobb” was born. This marked the genesis of a trail blazing journey that shifted her from being a direct participant in the beauty industry to becoming a leader and innovator of the next generation of beauty bosses.

Her first venture was offering advanced training classes in partnership with other experts in the industry and hosting skill-based workshops. Following this, she opened commission-based salons and spas with the goal of training and grooming employees – although this ultimately worked against her as they would eventually go off on their own path. The next level up classes was the Teen Weave Workshops in the the Young Professional Academy: Students were taught skills how to sew weaves, braid hair, and manage finances while providing her with an outlet for sharing her knowledge and giving back. Still, she s felt that she could be doing more so she went back to the drawing board to revisit her advanced training class which birth the first phase of Style Mobb University Advanced Training Academy that began in January 2020 with just 4 students – until Covid pandemic halted them in March. Although it was difficult facing such uncertainty, something positive also arose – the world suddenly silenced, providing her with time to hear her own thoughts. It was then that she decided to officially launch a Beauty University, ” a place where I could provide traditional University experience by incorporating HBCU culture; offer advanced training so that students are proficient in cosmetology and business; and enlighten the world about cosmetology’s importance as a highly essential career choice  with the opportunity to generate wealth.”

Style Mobb University is vested as a National Accreditation Institution; obtaining an impressive 100% passing rate at the Georgia Board of Cosmetology and officially accepted as an approved cosmetology “University.”  Style Mobb University School of Cosmetology Studies is begins a new era in HBCU history and culture.  It speaks to this multi-billion-dollar beauty industry where blacks historically have always had success and at the same time open to the diversity. all students regardless of race creed or color. The university provides the on campus HBCU college experience, 4 year-degree programs, and programs for veterans, Greek organizations and more!

Serial Entrepreneur Armond Davis Introduces The Paragon Group Investment Firm

TPG Plans to Build Supportive Ecosystems For Minority and Women Owned Businesses Through Adequate VC Funding and Support

Armond Davis

Armond Davis

ATLANTA – Sept. 15, 2021 – PRLog — Serial Entrepreneur Armond Davis is on a mission to become the most influential investor in women and minority owned businesses through his investment firm, The Paragon Group (TPG). Through TPG, Davis will invest in companies that have minority and woman founders to provide them access to much-needed capital so that they have the opportunity to grow and scale properly. ​​

It is proven that Black and Minority owned businesses and their founders have been disproportionately affected by a lack of funding and opportunities for decades. This gap in equity has become even more pronounced since the COVID-19 pandemic began. According to Robert Fairlie’s Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research, this gap has contributed to forcing 41% of Black-owned US businesses to close between February and April 2020, and many black-owned businesses are still experiencing a major decline amidst the pandemic in 2021.

Davis is here to provide a solution to this ongoing issue that is affecting minority communities, especially for women of color. That is why he is on a mission to build supportive and dynamic ecosystems for people in his community. He believes that with proper funding and support minority and women-owned founders are just as talented and capable of seeing the same levels of success as other founders.

Davis has two Master’s degrees (MBA in Finance and MS in Commercial Real Estate Investment), investment experience at Goldman Sachs and Suntrust, and 15 years of business operating experience. His extensive education and experience has given him a unique perspective on how to survive and thrive as an entrepreneur, ultimately making him a great choice as an investment partner.

TPG is also implementing a robust mentoring program through which founders whose companies receive investment and guidance from Davis and his team must in turn pass that knowledge forward by mentoring other small business owners in their city. The vision for the program is to create an “ecosystem of exchange” where minority and female founders are sharing the knowledge and experiences that they have gained to propel each other to the next stage of growth and attract further private equity and venture capital investments.

Davis says, “My firm will set a new trend of investment by working with founders on mindfulness and preparing them for the next level of success and then positioning them to scale up and handle that exponential growth.” He is a strong advocate for communal growth and wants every individual, business, and community he supports to have the ability to maximize its potential.
