Inez Doe, the owner of Ufancii Beauty Bar and an alumnus of Jackson State University, presented her 2nd annual Ufancii \u2018The Hair Exhibit\u2019 at the Mississippi Museum of Art in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have a few clients that are breast cancer survivors, so breast cancer is very near and dear to me. When I launched my brand, Ufancii, it was two years ago in October. I decided to use my anniversary as a fundraiser for breast cancer awareness,\u201d said Doe.<\/p>\n

The Hair Exhibit was filled with doll-like models that wore whimsical outfits and wigs. All wigs from the model showcase during the Fancii cocktail mixer were donated to Jeromie \u201cKake King\u201d Jones\u2019 #kingswigs4cancer wig drive for breast cancer survivors. When the exhibit officially opened, Doe made an extravagant entrance to Nicki Minaj\u2019s \u201cSuper Bass\u201d as the hair heroine, Weave Wonder Woman.<\/p>\n

Doe set the bar for the hair industry in Mississippi. Her event not only raised awareness but gave local entrepreneurs the opportunity to publicize their businesses. The venue hosted vendors such as Ivory Whites Mobile Teeth Whitening, Fancy Face Make-Up Consultations, Niks Cosmetics, and many more.<\/p>\n

The museum was filled with spectators. The show included platform hair stylists and barbers such as Tara of High Maintenance Salon, Master Barber Ryan \u201cThe Joker\u201d, and MikalScissorhand. Hair models on stage were transformed before the audience\u2019s eyes. One model even had his dreads cut off during the show by barber Errol \u201cThe Elite\u201d to give respect for those battling with breast cancer.<\/p>\n

There were also special appearances from celebrity hairstylist Micah Da Mac and the cast of the Lifetime show, \u201cBring It!\u201d\u00a0 Dancing Doll parent Selena even got in on the fun by being a hair model for High Maintenance Salon.<\/p>\n

At last year\u2019s event, Doe presented a $1,000 check to the Susan G. Komen Foundation Steel Magnolias of Central Mississippi. This year she donated wigs and gave away a non-traditional $1,200 scholarship to a Mississippi cosmetology student.<\/p>\n

\u201cGiving back and pouring into the young generation that\u2019s coming up is very important to me. I\u2019ve been so successful in my company, so this year I decided to do a scholarship,\u201d said Doe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
