Hairmingo

Hairmingo's mission is to ensure all women have equal access to beauty services while organically growing the niche local small beauty businesses.

• Consumers currently have no trustworthy resource to finding a local & compatible stylist.

• The ADA community struggles to find accessible beauty care.

  This article is what brought me the awareness to this problem when I started in Hairmingo.com in 2017:

  • https://www.glamour.com/story/wheelchair-nail-salon-discrimination

• Seniors struggle to find on-site beauty services.

• Small beauty business owners face consistently low client retention rates.  Year after year this niche industry loses 70% of their new yearly clientele.  Yikes!

This platform brings relief to all these groups. And hopefully more:)

This is a nationwide opportunity. The reach expands across hundreds of thousands of small beauty businesses, millions of disabled Americans, millions of senior citizens and millions of consumers that need, and will always need, local beauty services. 

I start Hairmingo.com 2 years ago when I randomly met a hairdresser that inspired me to find a solution for an industry-wide problem. Weeks of research unfolded many industry struggles for many groups of people. I felt I had to try to make a difference.  I left a high paying marketing job to develop a platform that brings a positive & ethical impact on society. I put everything I had into my mission of helping people and solving problems for the last 2 years. Those years were spent developing, researching, web coding, programming, art designing, etc. to create what I am happy to say provides a good deed to many people.

Hairmingo.com is an online business directory exclusive to the niche local beauty industry.  Consumers can search for a local hairdresser/stylist/salon by specialty needs, location, and/or name. Beauty professional members receive a quality structured & ethical marketing program on a controlled ratings & review platform. Uniquely designed profiles and searchability provide a compatibility match between user and member that increases client loyality and longevity.  Our beautiful flamingo mascot, Gretchen Mingo, tells our story throughtout the site in cute & classy ways.  IOS & Android apps going live in approx. next 2-3 weeks.

Members receive access to the Hairmingo Website Shop for personalized beauty websites for a super low cost.  This is a rare opportunity for the professionals to gain additional online exposure, cost efficiently.  This type of packaged exposure is completely unique.

The Hairmingo Blog posts daily on the latest beauty trends, tips and tutorials. 

Hairmingo.com is also bringing awareness to encouraging random acts of kindness.  Our Facebook group is called Lead with a deed.  The group is solely focused on sharing inspiring stories and articles.  As Hairmingo.com grows, the goal is for the group to grow as well and encourage acts of kindness throughout society.

I am seeking funding to bring this amazing & powerful platform to the public. Funding will also be used for developing a charity based division of the company along with further site development & enhanced functionality.  Advertising dollars to reach each community of users that will benefit from the site.

Right now, my team is me, myself and I. I need support to grow this and raise awareness.

Thank you for your support!
