Based on Gloria's client spending before and after learning her drugstore methods, edge-growth techniques, and shade-matching system.
93 numbered methods across 14 sections. Each one: the materials with current prices, the step-by-step, and an honest note on what it does and doesn't do. Pick the methods that fit your place — you don't have to do all of them.
I'm Gloria Fontaine. I owned Fontaine Beauty Lounge in Harlem for 28 years before I sold it in 2019. I've been a licensed esthetician since 1982, and I spent four decades doing facials, color consultations, and natural hair transitions for Black women who looked like me. After I closed the salon, I started the Melanin & Grace YouTube channel to share what I'd learned — the shortcuts, the products that work, and the methods I taught for years. I live in Mount Vernon with my husband. I wrote this book because the beauty industry left us out.
Read the manual. Try the methods. If you don't find at least 10 that help you, email me within 7 days and I'll refund every penny. No questions asked.

Yes. Gloria wrote this specifically for mature Black women because our skin, hair, and beauty needs are different — and most beauty advice leaves us out. This book is unapologetically for us.
Absolutely. The methods are designed for women over 45, but they work beautifully whether you're 42 or 72. Gloria's oldest client was 81.
No. Gloria built her reputation on affordable, accessible methods. Most of the products she recommends are under $15 and available at the drugstore or beauty supply.
The methods are gentle and avoid harsh ingredients, but Gloria doesn't diagnose or treat medical conditions. If you have a diagnosed skin or scalp condition, check with your doctor before trying new products.
Yes. You'll get instant digital access as a PDF that works on any device. You can also print it if you prefer a physical copy.
Perfect — Gloria assumes nothing. Every method is step-by-step and beginner-friendly, written the way she'd teach you in the salon chair.
Some methods work instantly (like the right foundation match). Others, like dark-spot fading and edge regrowth, take 8–12 weeks of consistent use. Gloria is honest about timelines.
Yes. If you read the book and don't find at least 10 methods that help you, email us within 60 days for a full refund. No questions asked.
