PhenomeNAILS, LLC | Application Preview
PhenomeNAILS, LLC is seeking a government grant of $10,000 to enhance its salon's safety and sanitation standards while also improving its appearance. The company has been leasing a suitable building since March 2021 at a monthly rate of $600, demonstrating a strong commitment to creating a comforting environment for clients.
Over the next five years, the business aims to expand by opening an additional location and hiring more staff, including another nail technician and an esthetician. This growth will enable clients to receive multiple services in one visit, enhancing their overall experience.
Owner Jarika Gordon's dedication to her craft is evident through her extensive training, having taken courses with licensed nail technicians since 2019. She is also enrolled at The Nail Clinic in Columbia, SC, where she is set to graduate soon. With a focus on client satisfaction, Jarika averages two clients per week for practice, motivated by the joy of helping others feel pampered.
In terms of competition, PhenomeNAILS faces one primary competitor, Top Nails, which operates as a walk-in service. By using an appointment-only model for five days of the week and allowing walk-ins only one day, PhenomeNAILS aims to reduce client wait times, offering a significant edge in customer service. The company’s strategy is designed to cater to clients' preferences, ensuring a prompt and efficient experience.

Funding Usage
PhenomeNAILS, LLC has been leasing our building since March 1, 2021. Our monthly payment is $600. Because we are so determined, we have been paying faithfully because we know that this is the perfect building and location for our salon. We would only need $10,000 to get everything where it needs to be for not only beautification reasons but for safety and sanitation reasons as well. Again, our goal is to make sure our clients are safe and comfortable while they are getting serviced.

Business Plan
During the next 5 years, I plan on having at least one more location for PhenomeNAILS, LLC. I also plan on hiring one more nail technician as well as an esthetician. It would be nice to come to one location and get more than one type of service done instead of having to go from place to place. Making sure our customers are safe and satisfied will always be an ultimate goal throughout the years to come. I, Jarika Gordon, owner of PhenomeNAILS, LLC have been taking one on one classes with licensed nail technicians since 2019. I have attended 3 total. This have been a passion of mine since middle school. I am currently enrolled at The Nail Clinic of Columbia, SC and I will be graduating on October 23, 2021. I’ll be taking my State Board Exam that following week. One of the things that we are graded on at school is how well we perform on clients that come in to get manicures and pedicures. I am averaging about 2 clients per week for practice. While practicing on our clients, it gives me that feeling of making someone feel good and pampered and that alone is one of the reasons I would love to own my own successful salon.

Self Identified Competition
We have only one competitor that’s located in the same city as we are and their business name is Top Nails. They have been there since 2010. They offer some of the same services that I offer but they are walk in clients only. Our advantage will be that we will be appointment only 5 days out of the week and only dedicate one day to walk in clients. Clients don’t like to wait hours to get serviced. They would like to walk in and start their services right away. They offer some of the same services that I offer but they are walk in clients only.
