Author

Haroon Rashid

In 1999 Haroon Rashid became the Founder and former President of Friends of DuSable, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to educating the public on the legacy of the founder of modern-day Chicago, Jean Baptiste Pointe DuSable. In 2000 he became a member of the City of Chicago's Commission on Human Relations Advisory Council on African Affairs for 13 years. In acknowledging the rich and diverse history of the City of Chicago, as well as the great accomplishments of its founder, (Friends of DuSable & Chicago Commission on Human Relations) was responsible for establishing a citywide commemoration in honor of Jean Baptiste Pointe DuSable. Because of the social activism by Haroon Rashid, the now implementations of the DuSable Commemoration not only serves as a day to honor DuSable, it is a vehicle to bring communities together for a day of unity in celebration on March 4th each year centered on the origin of the great city of Chicago that they all share. Haroon Rashid was introduced to the hair and beauty industry at the age of 15, working as a salon assistant in his Uncle John S. Jones barbershop in Boston, MA. It was at Sportsman Barbershop, that he began his interaction with hair care professionals and clients. At the age of 18, he enlisted in the United States Marine Corp. During the last year of his four-year stint, Haroon became the base barber at McAlister Naval I Ammunition Depot in McAlister Oklahoma as an off duty assignment. That experience exposed him to the multi-cultural and diverse aspect of hair care service. By the age of 22, Haroon had completed Wilfred Beauty College and Vaughn Barber School, in Boston, MA. As you can see, major emphasis was placed on the hair business, well before any formal education began. He worked as a advance stylist and educator in Boston at the prestigious Olive Benson Beauty salon on Boylston Street before moving to take over the Olive`s Beauty Salon in Atlanta Georgia, that he changed to Rashid's Hair care Center. At Olives Beauty Salon he joined the National Hairdressers & Cosmetology Association (NHCA). Over the years, Mr. Rashid has built an outstanding reputation as a Hair Beauty ; Wellness Specialist. He has traveled and worked in three continents as an educator for leading hair care companies.
