Help Us Build Community and Continue the Legacy of
Mattice Beauty Supply
Hi, my name is Champaine. My husband, Isaiah, and I are in the process of purchasing Mattice Beauty Supply in Tacoma, Washington.
We are young entrepreneurs at just 27 years old, proud parents of three phenomenal children, and homeowners right here in Tacoma where the store is located. This isn’t just a business to us; it’s our community. We live here, we’re raising our family here, and we’re committed to serving the people who call this place home.
We see this journey as more than ownership it’s about community building, legacy, and creating something meaningful for our children and our neighbors.
This opportunity is deeply personal to us, and we’re honored to take this step forward.This business represents more than ownership it represents generational wealth for our children and the continuation of a legacy rooted in community, culture, and care.
Throughout my life, I’ve had the opportunity to work in various capacities involving managing programs, building systems, and helping move initiatives forward. This moment is a bold step for us taking everything we’ve learned and applying it to something lasting, sustainable, and deeply rooted in purpose.
Why MATTICE Beauty Supply Matters
Mattice Beauty Supply has always been more than a beauty supply store. It has been a gathering place, a trusted neighborhood space, and a cornerstone for so many people. Our goal is to honor that legacy while expanding what this space can offer to the community moving forward.
We believe businesses can be both profitable and purposeful, and we are committed to ensuring this space continues to serve the people who have always made it special.
Our Vision
We are building more than a hair store we are building a community hub.
Our vision for this space includes:
- Creating employment opportunities for young people.
- Supporting re-entry pathways for individuals returning from the criminal justice system.
- Providing space for local hairstylists, barbers, and cosmetology professionals to gather, host trainings, meetings, and classes.
- Continuing partnerships with local high schools and community organizations.
- Creating a welcoming environment where people feel seen, heard, supported, and valued.
In a time when the world feels chaotic and disconnected, we believe spaces like this are essential for community stability and growth.
Why We’re Asking for Support
As first-time business owners, we are working intentionally to set this business up for long-term success. In addition to supporting the initial transition, funding over the first year of ownership will help us stabilize operations and create a space that is welcoming, functional, and community-ready.
Your Support Will Help Us With:
Upgrading Our POS & Technology Systems
To build a smooth, modern, and efficient shopping experience for our community, we are upgrading our Point of Sale (POS) system—the backbone of how our store operates day to day. This investment allows us to serve customers faster, track inventory accurately, and create a seamless in-store and online shopping experience through a virtual storefront.
This upgrade is more than technology it’s about access, sustainability, and growth. A modern POS system helps us reduce errors, save time, support our staff, and operate like the thriving, future-focused business our community deserves.
Strengthening Our Business Systems for Long-Term Success
To ensure Mattice Beauty Supply operates with integrity, transparency, and long-term sustainability, we are investing in professional business systems and support that help us grow responsibly and build generational wealth.
Your contributions will directly support the following critical needs:
Hiring a Professional Bookkeeper, Accounting Software & Financial Tools, Business System Integration, Business Systems & Operational Tools, Hiring a Business Coach, and Compliance & Reporting Support.
These investments are about doing things the right way, building a business that is not only successful, but stable, transparent, and prepared to grow for years to come. By supporting this effort, you’re helping us create a strong foundation that protects jobs, serves our community, and supports long-term prosperity.
Operational & Transition Costs During the Ownership Change
As we move forward through a contingent sale and ownership transition, there are essential operational and transition-related expenses that must be covered to keep the store stable, open, and running smoothly during this critical period.
Ownership transitions don’t pause day-to-day business needs. Your support helps us manage the costs required to maintain operations while responsibly stepping into new ownership, ensuring customers, staff, and vendors experience consistency not disruption.
Cosmetic Upgrades to Refresh the Space & Honor the Store’s Legacy
As we step into new ownership, it’s important to not only maintain operations but also care for the physical space that has served the community for years. These cosmetic upgrades allow us to refresh the store while honoring its history, legacy, and the customers who have long supported it.
Your contributions will help fund essential improvements, including:
Deep Cleaning of the Entire Store, Interior Painting & Refresh, Flooring Repairs & Updates, Cosmetic Touch-Ups & Minor Repairs, Upgrading the shelving system to improve organization, accessibility, and flow
These improvements are not about changing what people love—they’re about restoring, respecting, and revitalizing the space so it continues to serve the community for years to come.
Security & Safety Upgrade
- A portion of the funds will go toward upgrading our security system to ensure the safety of my children and me while we are in the store. This includes enhanced cameras, monitoring, and other safety measures so we can continue serving the community in a secure environment.
Every contribution, no matter the amount helps us build a strong and stable foundation for the first year and beyond.
Thank You
We are incredibly grateful for the support, encouragement, and belief from our community. Your support is not just helping us purchase a business it’s helping us continue the legacy of Mattice Beauty Supply while building a future rooted in opportunity, ownership, and care.
Thank you for standing with us as we take this bold step forward.
With gratitude,
Champaine & Isaiah
