Having identified a growing demand for premium human hair from US-based stylists, in 1995 Moore opened her own human hair import and distribution company, “Exclusive Hair Importers,” in Los Angeles. This established her as the first African American female, human hair manufacturer in the USA. For over a decade, Moore has traveled throughout parts of India to places such as Chennai, Bangalore, Hubli and Hyderabad and to South Korea and China. She has established successful business relationships and family ties with Indian Nationals’. As a result of constant communication and the relentlessness of bridging international gaps in the human hair industry, she is responsible for setting up 3 factories in India; with the current factory in Hyderabad being sold out of production for the next several years. She is also responsible for hundreds of Indian hair businesses across the country by both direct and indirect influence. Her standard of excellence has attracted celebrities such as actress Golden Brooks and R&B singer Shanice Wilson and so many more. She has also worked with a host of celebrity hair stylists, including Kim Kimble, stylist for Beyonce.
In addition to pioneering the human hair industry, this is a woman with many accomplishments. She was featured in 2009 "Who's Who in Black Atlanta", and was responsible for consulting in the Indian segment of Chris Rock's, "Good Hair". Ms. Moore is also responsible for the name “Malaysian” hair that is in use all across the globe today.
Moore realized that despite the fact that African American women are the leading consumers of the products and services of the multi-billion dollar US Black Hair industry, they are almost completely unrepresented behind the scenes at the decision making and product development levels. Her persistent research revealed that the industry controlled by individuals who are non-female and non-black companies who strategically and systematically keep the profits from recycling through the industry, and does not benefit the consumers or their communities.
Moore finds herself as one of a very small number of African American women working in the pivotal manufacturing, research, and development sectors of the black hair industry. She realizes she is in a position to make a difference and is consequently determined to equip like-minded African American women and men with tools and knowledge to successfully enter and participate within the industry. Moore hopes are for the industry's major consumers, African American’s to begin building wealth in the industry by gaining more control over it. With her company, A.M.E., existing and budding entrepreneurs can sign up for unique training courses that include: machine and hand wefting, perming, coloring and texturizing, and weaving classes designed specifically to allow Moore to share her incredible industry knowledge, wisdom and experience.
Often outspoken about the changes required within the black human hair industry, she advocates that consumers stop purchasing cheap, inferior human hair imports from local beauty supply companies and start investing in premium products that can be used again and again. This phenomenal, International Hair Expert is literally and physically making waves in the human hair industry. This Human Hair Guru hopes her life's work will generate a desire in Black America to take of control of, or at least take our share of this 12 Billion Dollar Human Hair Industry, by means of manufacturing our own quality product, therefore providing jobs and creating legacies for Our Own Children.
