Sugar Goddess | Application Preview
Sugar Goddess is seeking government grant funds to renovate its rented space, enhancing the environment for clients. The proposed renovations include new flooring, paint, a reception desk, duct and plumbing upgrades, shelving, and essential equipment, like a washer and dryer and an electric hydraulic bed that will improve the owner’s work ergonomics.
The owner, a registered nurse and cosmetologist, envisions expanding the business over the next five years to create a larger salon that offers a variety of beauty services, such as sugar hair removal, botox and fillers, massages, spray tanning, and more. A fellow RN plans to join the venture, utilizing a renovated second room in the suite to offer similar services. The goal is to create a welcoming atmosphere where clients feel wonderful, both during their visit and afterwards.
The application emphasizes the importance of mental wellness, particularly in the aftermath of COVID-19. Many clients are healthcare workers who find therapeutic value in their visits, often leaving feeling better both physically and emotionally. By focusing on this holistic approach to beauty and self-care, Sugar Goddess aims to stand out amid local competition, which includes various salons and specialized services. The owner’s commitment to enhancing clients’ well-being highlights a unique competitive advantage, aiming to foster a space where individuals can escape daily stressors and truly feel beautiful.

Funding Usage
If I were to get the grant money, I would be able to renovate the space I'm renting. It needs new flooring, paint, a reception desk, duct work and plumbing for a washer and dryer, a washer and dryer unit, shelving, decorations, and finally I would be able to purchase they electric hydraulic bed I've had on my wish list for years! I'm 5'10" so it will help me to have proper body mechanics so I don't have to bend over so much. I have a fellow RN that would like to join me on my journey in helping people feel beautiful. She would be able to use the second room in my suite. With the scholarship money, I could renovate her room as well.

Business Plan
In the next 5 years, I would love to have a big salon where I can offer sugar hair removal services, perform botox and fillers, have a massage therapist, offer spray tanning, microblading, permanent makeup, and all things that make people feel beautiful. I am an RN and a cosmetologist. My passion is to help people, and to help them feel good about themselves. I have a fellow RN that will join me on my business journey to offer the same services listed above. I want a company where people feel just as amazing when they enter through ambiance and laughter, and feel wonderfully beautiful when they leave. I am a woman who cares deeply about making people feel good about themselves. With the stressful working conditions due to covid, people need a place to feel good about themselves without having to worry about the world in the time they're with me. Many of my clients are nurses. They love to come to see me for laughs and some say a "therapy session." It helps people feel good physically and mentally after coming to see me. That's what I strive to do through therapeutic communication skills learned during my years as a psychiatric nurse. The appointment is all about them. Even though they think they're just coming to me for their physical appearance, they leave feeling better mentally. This is how I am able to fulfill my career needs. I can help people both physically and mentally.
