| Clip | 1984, we started to produce comb type clips. | ||||||||
| H/Hair | 1985, we started to export human hairpieces in bulk and weft ordered by an UK buyer who had been ordering toupees from us. | ||||||||
| In 1987, we got a huge order in total of US$253,160.00 (current value, more than 2.5 million US Dollars) from an American importer. (At that time, a youngest bank staff's starting wage was US$200.00/month. In 2022, a Korean youngest bank staff's starting wag is more than US$3,000.00/month.) |
|||||||||
| This huge order helped us to order(import) tons of human hair every month. The biggest order for Chinese hair was placed for 50 tons (50,000 kgs) in 1987, which made us regarded as the biggest raw human hair importer internationally those days. | |||||||||
| PU & Glues |
1985, we started to develop Polyurethane-based glues to improve quality of PU glues which we and other Korean toupee factories bought and used in makng skins and bases of toupees made with such PU glues. |
||||||||
| In Korea, 1992, we started to have chances to export PU liquids (CW701-S, CW702-H, etc) used in makng PU skins and bases of toupees; and very strong hair attaching glues (G1, G4, G100, G400, CW715-Knot Sealer, G7011, G7044) for hairs knotted, V-looped, implanted, injected G100, G400). A Hong Kong company ordered from us, totally 22 tons (22,000 Kgs) of PU liquids for a year for thier Chinese factory, the biggest toupee & wig factory in China and in the world. | |||||||||
|
|||||||||
| Since 1990, because the labor cost or wage of a young knotting worker increased too much (US$50.00/month in 1984 to US$500.00/month in 1990) we have been changing our lines from SUPPLYING (EXPORTING) FINISHED HAIR GOODS(WIGS, TOUPEES, HUMAN HAIRPIECES (bulk hair, hair weft), HAIR EXTENSIONS, ETC to WIG MATERIALS, WIG MAKING EQUIPMENT and CHEMICAL PRODUCTS, and PROVIDING TECHNICAL CONSULTING AND HANDS-ON-TRAINING COURSES. |
|||||||||
| (Exporting wigs, toupees, hairpieces in large quantities from Korea was not possible because of the high production cost in Korea since 1990.) | |||||||||
| Since 2000, we focused on (1) providing
Hands-On-Training and Online Training individually or in a group for a
factory are our main CORE BUSINESS and (2) developing & making chemical products. ( www.WigSchool.com , www.HairSchool.com ) |
|||||||||
| In China | 1992, we set up a factory in China to keep exporting to the world (our regular customers/buyers). The labor cost (knotting worker's wage) was US$30.00/month in China which was almost same as the Korean workers' wage in Korea in 1977. We trained over 4,000 Chinese women, 400 female workers every month in cooperation with the local government for hair ventilation (hand knotting) for over 12 months. |
||||||||
| In Korea | At the same time, we restructured (downsized) our production system in Korea to keep (run) a small factory for producing ONLY CUSTOM MADE toupees and wigs by hand for retail business in our domestic (Korean) market. | ||||||||
| TR-Weft | 1993, we could have chance to provide technical training course (for machine made weft making) at the request of a person who entered Korea as a member of the Mexican economic delegation and the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy 1993, we could have chance to provide technical training course (for machine made weft making) at the request of a person who entered Korea as a member of the Mexican economic delegation and the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy of Korea introduced us to. This could become the point of starting of providing hands-on-training course in Korea for other companies, not for our own factory. ( www.WigSchool.com )us to. |
||||||||
| Training-All | [[ Hands-On-Training ]] 2000 ~ 2022, we trained 'How to Process & Dye raw human hair' about 200 persons individually in our training center in Seoul, Korea from 180 companies; 40 persons (36 companies) from India, 15 persons (10 companies), from Indonesia, 20 persons (19 companies) from USA, 13 persons from Russia, 12 person from Nigeria, 4 persons from Brazil, 3 persons from Turkey, 2 persons from UK, 5 persons (4 companies) from France, 4 persons from Italy, 1 or 2 persons from each of other countries.

~ 2023 |
We stopped producing wig-machines since C-19 pandemic breakout, 2019. We stopped runnng our hair processing & coloring factory in 2020, after C-19 pandemic breakout. We put priority to producing chemical products (glues, HairCoat), fine nets (laces), training (online, onsite).

| @^@ Specially, 2019~2023, we have provided tmost of raining courses online ( rather than on-site) by sending written manuals, videos, samples, materials & supplies for practice together with reference materials for questioning & answering (Q & A) which will be served by John Yim for years at no additional charge. @^@ Around 1995, we began to shift our business lines to supplying material supply and machinery, and around 2000, we prioritized (1) providing hands-on-training courses , (2) manufacturing chemical products & wig machines to export tp the world. Since C-19 pandemic breakout, 2019, we started training courses online (instead of on-site, hands-on) using over 5,000 training scene videos ( in running time of 1 minute ~ 4 hours) filmed for each hands-on trainee during hands-on-training since 2001. |
|||||||||
| @@ M/made weft-making course, m/made wig-making course must be done on-site & by hands-on-training because trainees must tangibly & practically & actually practice how to disassembling and assemble relevant sewing machines just like an engineer (which 99.9999 % of sewing girls inthe world except trainees of John Korea WIg School do not know or experienced), mechanical trouble shootings with trainee's own hands, putting sewing oil and glycerin on own hands. In a word, we, 'John Korea' believe a hands-on approach (training) must be needed when it comes to m/made weft making course, m/made wig machine course. |
