Farouk Shami for our next governor?

FAROUK SHAMI with Jessica Gutierrez


Reveals interest at Chamber mixer

NORTH HOUSTON – The North Houston Greenspoint Chamber of Commerce is holding monthly networking mixers, as an added benefit of membership. The Greenspoint Club was the site of the September mixer, and there was a large group turnout. The honored guest at the event was Farouk Shami, who recently announced the expansion of his business, CHI USA, and Farouk Systems.

Farouk held a ribbon cutting and a large grand opening event earlier in the month, as he announced that he was moving his manufacturing of hair care products back to Houston from several overseas locations. As part of this move, he announced that the company will be hiring hundreds of new employees, bringing the total in North Houston up to at least 1000. Farouk’s products include CHI and BioSilk.

Farouk first started his business in 1986, when he invented the first ammonia-free hair lightener and color system, called SunGlitz. The company started during the 80’s recession, and later transformed into a powerhouse in the beauty industry, with a string of innovative products, such as BioSilk, the CHI hairdryer, and other hair and nail products.

At the networking event, Farouk surprised the audience by talking about his interest in running for governor of the state of Texas. He spoke about his success in business, and said that he could transfer that ability into running the state. If he actually decides to run as a Democratic candidate, he will emphasize his business success, and his ability to create jobs for Texans.

He says “My mission is to inspire and challenge others… so that we can stimulate the U. S. Economy.”
