Beauty by Ralyn llc | Application Preview
Beauty by Ralyn LLC is applying for government grants to fund the opening of a new salon that will create three additional jobs. The grant will cover essential equipment and supplies, including styling stations, shampoo units, state-of-the-art dryers, and reception furnishings, as well as operational items like disposables, cleaning supplies, online presence, and advertising.
The salon plans to differentiate itself by offering specialized services, such as scalp micropigmentation, targeting underserved demographics like the elderly and mentally disabled. This unique approach aims to provide tailored packages and services that consider the clients' budgets, working closely with local coordinators to reach these communities. Scalp micropigmentation, a specialty service, helps enhance hair density and restore confidence, particularly for individuals dealing with hair loss.
The applicant emphasizes a strong commitment to customer satisfaction and community support, showcasing a career spanning over 24 years in the beauty industry. The focus will be on delivering quality at accessible prices, contrasting with the high-end salons and corporate chains in the area. The competitive edge lies in a personalized, caring approach to service, aimed at those who often feel overlooked in the beauty market.
In summary, Beauty by Ralyn LLC seeks funding to establish a salon that not only offers high-quality beauty services but also prioritizes inclusivity and community engagement, meeting needs that are currently unmet in the local market.

Business Plan
In order to grow my business, I plan to specialize in a niche in our area that no one else does, scalp micropigmentation services and cater to the elderly and mentally disabled. Yes they can go to other shops and receive services but when we have specific packages, access and services just for them, taking their budget into consideration..... it's a no brainer. I plan to work with magic city's coordinator here in Cheyenne to get them and their affiliates set up with our services. For scalp micropigmentation I will train with SMP Institute in Minneapolis,MN. This service creates tiny indentations mimicking hair follicles to enhance density in women who suffer from hair thinning or alopecia. For men, it creates a new hair line mimicking a buzz cut and reinstates their confidence and self worth. No one in our city offers these services directly. I have been a dedicated professional for over 24 years. My heart is in this to help others in ways that no one else can. Yes, it's great to make a living, but the reward comes from seeing the girl who gets teased light up when she sees her hair and "looks like the girls in magazines ", or doing a complimentary service for a client who just lost her child, or husband. Aside from that, I have spent years researching our area, building my brand and marketing myself. I know what shop does what services, their vibe, pricing, reputation and longevity. It's time now, to bring a select few on board, expand and focus on areas others overlook. Many salons here are "high end" and that's not a great fit for 75% of our city. Then you have the corporate chains, in and out like sheep. It's ok for some but where is the quality? This may sound cliché, My goal is to provide everyone who comes in with a great service within their budget, superb customer service, maybe a few dad jokes to make them laugh, and a feeling of being among friends.

Self Identified Competition
I consider everyone a competitor..... in our industry we are all trained to do the same services. What makes us different is where we work,( the environment or ambiance), how we treat our guests and the quality of our work. It's a cut throat industry and you have to bring your A-game every day, every time. What makes me, my ideas and business different is that I genuinely care about the people who choose me to do their service. I'm not a corporation looking at the numbers and bottom line. I'm not a high end salon catering to the ladies who lunch or those who can afford those services. I focus on those who get overlooked, the underdog, fixed incomes, vets, disabled and anyone else who doesn't fit the mold so to speak. It may not sound very interesting, but I assure you there is a need and it's not being met.
