Hair We Are | Application Preview
Hair We Are is seeking government grants to support the renovation of their facility. The funding will be directed towards exterior brick tuckpointing and new brickwork, as well as remodeling the second floor to expand the retail space by approximately 11,300 square feet. This expansion includes the addition of decking and an elevator to improve accessibility.
The business plan focuses on doubling their space to hire more hair stylists and provide a variety of beauty and health services, including a tanning spa, steam room, hot tub, massage, and professional pedicure services. These services are particularly aimed at meeting the needs of elderly customers.
The application highlights the owner's extensive experience: a licensed cosmetologist for 40 years, having owned multiple salons, and continuously engaging in professional development. The owner is training their son to join the family business, which has been established at the current location for over a decade and is recognized as one of the top salons in the area.
In terms of competition, there are only a few serious rivals, but they have limitations, such as not accepting walk-ins, only working by appointment, and being selective about their clientele. Some competitors also do not serve certain demographics or offer flexible hours.
Hair We Are differentiates itself by prioritizing customer needs, providing ongoing education to stay updated with industry trends, and offering hours that accommodate more clients. With a wealth of experience and a commitment to quality service, the business aims to establish itself as a leader in the health and beauty industry.

Business Plan
By doubling business space. Hiring hair stylists and using additional space to have other beauty and health related business available. Such as ( tanning spa, steam room, hot tub, massage, and professional pedicure services available, especially needed for the elderly. I have been a licensed full cosmetologist for 40 years. Very highly motivated from the beginning. Started 1st business with cosmetic school mate right after graduation. Have kept up yearly with chemical services and styles by annually participating in classes and seminars. I have owned 3 hair salons in different locations during my life. I am healthy and training my 21 year old son to join this family business as he is presently progressing to achieve his full cosmetology license. We have at this location the ability to quadruple the space to the public for a much larger and diverse health and beauty service industry. I have established this location for over ten years and I'm one of the top salons in the area.

Self Identified Competition
There are only three serious competitors but they are restricting their business in a few ways. 1. They do not take in walk it's. 2. They only work by appointments and they are very choosey as whom they will work with. 3. They will not work hours on Monday, nor on Saturday afternoons. 4. Also they will not work on persons of color or their types of hair and hairstyles.and last but not the least these businesses are not interested in bettering their knowledge base by continuing education. At "Hair We Are" I soon to be we... are interested solely on the best outcomes for our customers necessities. We continue our education weekly, by the internet, by retail suppliers and their connections with the industries newest product lines and symposiums, classes and seminars. We offer the best products for men and women. We offer hours that all others in this area don't. I have over 40 years experience and have operated 4 of my own successful salons and have worked for (Famous Barr, JC Penny's, Wal-Mart, Fantastic Sam's, and Great Clips.) I have many opportunities to run others businesses but, of course, do not have the desire.
