Business Plan
As the world begins to recognize that living a healthy lifestyle guarantees positive health benefits. Having a healthy lifestyle promotes healthy hair. Dread locs are a wonderful protective style, and as I increase my skills in this profession, my resume will increase. I plan on taking classes and teaches myself different techniques to help my clients better. Increasing my potential and services will give me more clientele. I plan to create stylist protective products my clients can wear that will protect their hair and increase growth. In addition to the hair services I provide, I will be selling meal preps and juicing detoxes. Healthy lifestyles are what consumers are into now. Veganism and plant-based products and food are becoming more appealing. People are becoming more educated on what living a healthy lifestyle truly means. The black community needs help in this area, and what better way to incorporate a healthy lifestyle than to add it to hair growth. The Black community is known for its exotic hairstyles. When dread locs are cared for properly, and your diet is healthy, it promotes growth.

Self Identified Competition
I am my own competition. The hair industry is vast, and Houston is one of the largest cities. Knowing that I live in a popular business booming city, I can only think positively and hustle more. What makes me different from competitors is that I know what consumers need, and I started marketing myself, so I have a platform. I started my hair business while I was in college, and my colleagues still contact me and refer me to potential clients. So I not only know the potential of my business, but I am living proof that my work is effective.
