Help me take a leap of faith to salon independence!

On behalf of a woman who would prefer to stay anonymous :

I hope this message finds you well. I'm excited to share some news and ask for your support for a project dear to my heart.

For the past 18 years, I've been deeply passionate about the beauty industry, styling hair since I could hold a doll. Now, I'm taking a leap to open my own salon suite under great leadership. I envision a cozy space where clients can unwind and rejuvenate, where I have creative control for success.

Out of respect for salon rules while working in others' spaces, I've found it challenging to fully express my vision and explore additional income streams. This has limited my ability to implement innovative ideas and maximize my business potential.

In addition, in the last 16 months I have lost roughly around $24,000 from cancellations: around $20,000 loss last year and about $4000 this year so far (in only 4 months). This has put me in a financial bind so I need to rebrand myself and take a new path for myself.

To turn this dream into reality, I need financial support ASAP. I'm seeking donations to cover startup costs
including:
  • Salon furniture
  • Startup fees for suites
  • 6-12 months of prepaid booth rent
  • Marketing
  • Miscellaneous

This would allow me to focus on building the business, not just surviving. This would also allow me to spend more time with my daughter, who will graduate high school in four years. She's interested in becoming a cosmetologist too—a proud mommy moment!

Your contribution, big or small, would mean the world.

It can be a love donation or donation in exchange for service paid for the year.

I understand if this isn't feasible for everyone, but know that your support, financial or moral, is invaluable.

This opportunity would cost between $16-$24k.

This opportunity includes a 6-week business training provided by the owner that teaches each stylist how to grow a scalable salon business, which will continue throughout the lifetime of the booth rental lease to ensure success.

Additionally, there's a private community for each stylist to support business success. Furthermore, some clients will be purchasing memberships that cover their hairstyles for up to a year.

Having my own salon suite, combined with ongoing mentorship makes this a very lucrative opportunity, and I am confident that this opportunity will allow me to have more income and freedom!

Slots are filling fast!

Thank you so much for taking time to check this out.

Your support would mean everything to me.
