Dr. Farouk Shami and Miss USA Olivia Jordan
CEO and Founder of Farouk Systems Inc., Dr. Farouk Shami recently hosted Olivia Jordan, the reigning Miss USA during her recent visit to the corporate headquarters. Dr. Shami provided a guided tour of the company’s offices, warehouse facilities and the CHI Lone Star College - North Harris School of Cosmetology.
Jordan received a warm welcome from staff and visitors, and saw first-hand how the company manufactures not only the CHI and BioSilk brands, but the MISS UNIVERSE Line as well.
“It was my first time in Houston and I enjoyed experiencing this amazing city," says Jordan."It was fun to see everything come to life at the CHI warehouse. I was so impressed and it was fascinating to see how products go from concept to the shelves.”
Farouk Systems Inc. has been a sponsor of MISS USA, MISS TEEN USA and MISS UNIVERSE for the past 11 years and provides contestants for all three pageants with their top hairstylists along with CHI and Miss Universe products and tools.
“As a leader in the professional salon industry, we know how important it is to support these young ladies in order for them to achieve their goals and provide them with the confidence they need to look and feel their best,” says Shami.
