Quality Grooming Studio Shop | Application Preview
Quality Grooming Studio Shop is seeking government grants to support the opening of a new barbershop after transitioning to a larger space. The owner has faced personal challenges, including a divorce, and is working towards rebuilding. The new location will require renovations, equipment purchases, and the creation of a welcoming environment for clients.
The business plan includes opening a second barbershop within two years and expanding the brand into other states. The owner aspires to emulate successful brands like Chick-fil-A and Apple by providing exceptional standards and customer service. There is a vision for franchising based on a solid operational system.
The applicant highlights their value, honesty, and commitment to building meaningful relationships with clients and investors. They believe that funding will result in significant returns and emphasize their unique approach to grooming, particularly through their proprietary technique, "Frame Grooming."
The competition is acknowledged, particularly brands like Great Clips and Supercuts, but the owner believes that their genuine care for clients and community distinguishes them from others. With a successful track record since opening in May 2020, the owner is focused on making a lasting impact and is enthusiastic about the future.

Funding Usage
This funding is only going towards the preparation of opening the new shop. I will be transitioning from a 200sf to 1100 sf leading a team. I went through a divorce last year so I am slowing getting back on my feet so I am seeking all the assistance I can get. I have found a place closer to my house which is where I will love to plant the first barbershop. The space will need to be renovated, painted and set up for a new business. I will need to purchase barber equipment like barber chairs , mirrors, stands etc. Also the business signs, light fixtures and complimentary area/waiting area for our clients. I believe in operating with standards so we can attract clients of standards as well. I will love to get any help that I can. It means the world to me and I will pay it forward. Thank you.

Business Plan
My plan is to plant another barbershop in 2 years from opening the first one. Also I want to expand the brand Quality Grooming Studio Shop in other states. I see my barbershop as the Chick-fil-A, Publix and Apple of Barbershops because I provide standards, experience and customer service. My goal is to attract investors into franchising because of the system of operation. I know I am a person of value and that’s what I add to anything that I am involved in. I know for a fact that their investment will yield great profit. I believe in relationships before business so it could be deeper than just money. I am an honest person and I believe in partnering with honest investors.

Self Identified Competition
Great clips ( I honestly love their business model but they can’t really cut hair, I get a lot of clients coming from great clips that needs that touch of a groomer) Supercuts ( I love their set up as well but it’s missing that barbershop touch) What makes different from other business owners/ barbershops is that I truly care for humanity. My business slogan says “connect and uplift souls with my presence” that’s a deep slogan because you can’t act that, you have to be it. I love how i connect with different customers from different backgrounds. I am the best barber in the world because I have mastered the art of Frame Grooming that no one else knows except for me. I can perfectly groom anyone because my secret sauce called frame grooming. I opened up my barbershop in May 2020 with the money I saved up in the heat of Covid and all the craziness. 4 years later I am still standing strong because of God of course and my business structure, values, principles and standards. My business google reviews are outstanding. I love the impact I have made on the community and I am just getting started. Thank you.
