In an effort to capitalize on the lucrative and expanding hair & beauty markets worldwide, UrBema was established and immediately began selling hair quality hair goods in Atlanta, Georgia and globally. UrBema™ is now a premier technology /supplier platform with operations in United States, China, and India.
