I have had the extreme pleasure and privilege of knowing Maisie Dunbar for nearly 20 years. In that time, I have profiled her work, spotlighted her in feature stories, quoted her as an expert in her field, and turned to her when I wanted an informed “read” on the industry. She wears many hats, and they all look good on her—business owner, educator, product and brand developer, beauty expert, TEDx speaker, and philanthropist. Maisie is extremely tuned-in to what is happening in the world of professional beauty, and she works to connect people to make the industry even better. As a person and professional, she has great integrity and character. I am grateful to call her a colleague and friend.

Maisie Dunbar guess what the lipstick I wore to the Ball? I Will let you say it cosmetic guru! Your products are amazing Bluff Super star!

Thank you so much for volunteering to be the first guest speaker for our 2021-2022 Cosmetology Virtual Speaker Sessions.   Your sessions were informative and truly engaging.  The students enjoyed hearing about your many experiences in the industry and found your personality enthralling.  Our students learned strategies on how to build a global clientele list and the importance of tenacity.  The student swag gifts were also an unexpected and wonderful treat.  They were so excited to receive their gifts.

It was such a delight to see the interaction between you and our students.  I truly hope you will present again in the near future.  Again thank you and well done!

Maisie Dunbar, an award winning, pace setting, worldwide entrepreneur Maisie Dunbar chose beauty as her career, leaving the corporate world, and then took it to the ultimate in success. Her accomplishments in and for the industry are legendary among those who know her as an acquaintance, a client or as a peer professional. Every person I know in the beauty industry has the highest respect for Maisie – mention her name and everyone is enthusiastic toward her activities – we all know she represents us well in the world, not just locally. Maisie‘s willingness to support others in the American beauty industry is well known, but she also has stretched her positive example and training to the development of the industry in other parts of the world. A native of Liberia and American citizen, she launched her skincare and professional makeup brand, BluffaJo, in African countries such as Ghana, Lagos, Liberia and Nigeria, inspiring persons in those countries to uplift their lives. Yes, Maisie’s honesty, integrity and sincerity are well known by everyone who knows her, whether as close friends or as mere acquaintances. But I must say, for me, her commitment to prayer is dear to me. Maisie knows that surviving the day, a career or a tragedy can be through prayer, and I love that about her. Please forgive my being more personal than business-like in my recommendation of Maisie, but I truly feel the shining of the beautiful internal Maisie to the world is the secret to her success, that showing that beauty uplifts everyone around her.
