Hello!

My name is Bianca, but my friends and family call me B. I have been a professional dog groomer for just under 10 years this upcoming fall. I am looking to move forward with my career by becoming a salon owner!

Throughout my decade of grooming, I have worked in every type of salon there is: corporate, private, and medical. I have built salons from the ground up for other businesses and know that I am capable of running a successful salon. Recently, I have been grooming from my at-home grooming studio on my off time from my 9-5 job. I initially took the job after graduating with my bachelor’s in Business Administration in the hopes of saving up for a salon. However, in order for me to groom from home, I have to rent a larger apartment, resulting in higher rent and utility costs. This makes saving for a salon nearly impossible.

My passion for my furry friends has kept me from giving up on my dream of owning a salon; as well as the love and support I receive from my loving clients. I want to be able to provide a safe, holistic, and calming experience in an otherwise stressful situation for my fur-friends. I wish to teach others how to groom. In the process, bringing jobs and a trade to my underserved community. I wish to provide a space for my clients to learn how to maintain their pets at home and even provide workshops on proper handling and care.

I have all the tools to build the salon of my dreams except for one thing: capital. This is where I need your help. Please consider donating and sharing!

Here is a link to an explanation of funds.
There are two excel sheets in this workbook: Initial Supplies and Monthly Operational Costs.  I would ideally like to have 3 times the monthly operational costs to start as a safety net to maximize my opportunity for success! 

Thank you so much for taking the time to read my story!
