SummersANDFall's mission is to build transparency with the goal of improving the way women discover and learn about the products they use every day.  Our mission is to empower, strengthen, and unite women to be inspired, to connect in a safe space where creativity, learning, life experiences, passion for the causes we care about can unite us with one purpose and have the ability to serve each other and the underprivileged. To create a spirit of positive community collaboration by creating a platform for women of all backgrounds to unite in a spirit of empowerment, inspiration, and service towards one another. Light the power and intelligence that makes vision and life possible.  Our mission is to reach communities and to identify strong and influential women making a difference in their respective networks to create an illuminating voice that speaks to the masses, and to provide an all-inclusive platform for the brilliant work women are doing and to bridge our differences with LIGHT. 

At SummersANDFall we are pride ourselves on being able to adjust to challenges and adversity. We have what it takes to create change within our communities and others. One of the biggest problems in our industry (the beauty industry) and frankly several other brick and mortar product-based industries, is the customer experience, with the problem being predominantly among people of color. In reality, most of us (people of color) are racially profiled, stereotyped, and judged before we walk in a physical store. Most of us will experience unnecessary customer service, but at SummersANDFall, we will create a journey that's built for everyone of every color.  After COVID, one of the biggest challenges will be - how to get the consumers back in the store to make a physical purchase. Our plan is to create a realistic consumer shopping journey at our retail/service location - almost like a fairytale. We're bringing beauty, fun, creativity, and value to all of our consumers at all of our locations.  Today’s consumers are in the driver’s seat and they expect to get more than just a product: they want brand engagement, transparency, speed, and customization. And buying online gives them more of what they want, including an inclusive shopping experience. At SummersANDFall, our customers are encouraged to hang out, try on products, take selfies, use social media, meet influencers, and learn new hair tricks from professionals. Customer engagement will grow, and our customer is still expected to make the majority of their purchases in-store.

We are SummersANDFall retail (studios) and salon. A thriving start-up dedicated to making eco-friendly and sustainable organic and lifestyle products accessible to everyone. We believe that when everyone has the option to choose ethical sustainability when people care about our world and each other, we can change the world together. We thoughtfully curate and source ingredients for our vegan, cruelty-free and sustainable products from American-made sources. Ensuring that the quality of our formulas is fresh from local farms, often artisanal and handmade in small batches. With the success of our products, we branded a full-service salon located in San Francisco. 

Why we need funding: With funding, we would distribute the funds to 

• Scaling our inventory and product library
• Diversify/grow our business to the business presence (aim to target retailers in the eco and wellness space - thrive, Wholefoods, Sprouts, etc.)
• Hire more employees for community outreach and company tasks, growth, and goals

Our Team is broken down into two platforms: Our studio's team - which is a team dedicated to our retail side of the business and our salon team, which consists of licenses cosmetology professionals.
