In Memory of Mr. J.E. Mallard
James Edward Mallard, owner of M&M Modern Research, was born on May 26, 1927 to Jim and Mattie Mallard. He was the fifth child of 12. James grew up in Atmore, Ala. where he worked on a farm until he finished high school. After graduation, James moved to Mobile and began working for the federal government. He married and began a family.
When he lost his first wife to illness, James took a job transfer and relocated his family to Denver, Colo. He retired in 1972 and started work establishing Mallard Beauty Products. After spending many years turning a small family business into a success and raising 12 children, J.E. Mallard met Erma Houston while working at Lowry Air Force Base.
They spent the next 6 years dating before getting married in Las Vegas in 1986. J.E. and Erma Mallard spent the next 28 years traveling, laughing and growing together in Christ.
On March 14, 2015, J.E. Mallard passed away due to cancer. He spent his last days at home, surrounded by his family and never lost his sense of humor. Mr. Mallard wanted to be remembered as a God-fearing man who loved and tried to help other human beings. He was all this and more. J.E. Mallard was a devoted father, kind husband, innovative businessman and inspiration to all who knew him. He leaves behind a distinguished legacy and will be dearly missed by many.
He is survived by his wife, 11 children, 22 grandchildren, 10 great-grandchildren, three brothers, four sisters and a host of friends.

The Ultimate Finishing Tool: The Versatile 5 Star Shaver Shaper from Wahl
View Video at wahlpro.com
Wahl Professional’s award winning 5 Star Shaver Shaper is so versatile you have to see it to believe it. To highlight the versatility of its electric shaver, Wahl has released an educational video showcasing the shaver’s various applications in the hands of a true artist.
“Cutting hair is artistry and we’re trying to be better than we were yesterday,” said Garland “G-Whiz” Fox. “You always try to outdo that work of art each time that blank canvas comes back.”
Fox is a member of the Wahl Education and Artistic Team (W.E.A.T.), and is recognized internationally as an expert on barbering tools and techniques. A barber-stylist since 1995, he has been ranked as the country’s top barber since 2004, is the go-to barber for major television, film and record companies, and serves as resident barber expert in numerous publications.
“I wasn’t always G-Whiz,” he laughed. “I was once Garland Fox, a homeless man. I made it through by cutting hair. Riding the bus, walking, however I had to get there. Six bucks for a haircut.”
Today he cuts hair in his own barbershop, and easily demonstrates why the 5 Star Shaver Shaper is a necessary finishing tool for all barbers and stylists.
Fox calls the 5 Star Shaver Shaper the most versatile tool in Wahl’s arsenal. Its versatility is emphasized in Wahl’s video as you watch Fox, along with W.E.A.T. Member Lauren Milner, clean up the neckline, remove straggling hairs and blend facial outlines on a diverse range of models and hair types.
“It is the ultimate finisher. It only cuts stubs and this is why it’s a two-step process,” he explains. “You use a trimmer and once you break the hair down, you come back and use the 5 Star Shaver Shaper.”
The shaver provides a close shave, with no razor bumps, ingrown hair or skin irritations. And you can use it on anyone that sits in your chair.
“It can be used on all skin types, skin tones, it doesn’t matter,” Fox said. “Everyone can use this. It’s a universal tool. For years people have made electric shavers. We’re not the first. We’re just the first to get it right.” www.wahlpro.com
