I have always dreamed of providing healthcare through my hair salon.

I firmly believe that our regular face-to-face interactions make us well-suited to educate about disease prevention.

By visualizing the scalp condition using a microscope and identifying customer concerns, we aim to address scalp issues through head massages.

Regular check-ups can lead to early detection of skin cancer and help build data on individuals before they become ill, enabling collaboration with medical institutions.

PROBLEM

A few years ago, there was a sad incident where a customer I hadn't seen in a while passed away due to skin cancer.

Skin cancer, especially melanoma, is a serious concern in New Zealand. 

Like all cancers, the critical elements are 'prevention and early detection.'

FACT

Have you heard of such a story? A hairdresser noticed changes in the scalp of a regular client and advised him to consult a specialist.

This led to an early diagnosis of skin cancer, saving his life. This story feels incredibly promising to me.

I firmly believe that regular encounters can contribute to disease prevention.

Previous initiatives and market demand research.

I have participated in the Canterbury University Venture Program "Health Tech Challenge" and conducted research through my hairdressing work.

We have received a lot of positive feedback and evaluations, and many people are feeling the potential.

As a result of a survey on scalp concerns, we found that 68% of participants have experienced problems with their scalp. This figure indicates that there is a demand for solutions that critically address scalp issues. 

Our innovation starts from Riccarton in Christchurch.

To all those who have supported us so far, thank you very much.

Our salon is located at 15/35 Riccarton Road.

Situated near Hagley Park, it occupies a quiet first floor. We chose a property with secluded features rather than being in a high-traffic area, as we want everyone to enjoy a more relaxed atmosphere.

Why is crowdfunding necessary?

Our plan involves initially adopting a B2C approach and later expanding to B2B. By collaborating with medical institutions and skin check organizations, we aim to extend this initiative to additional hair salons. Our growth strategy entails utilizing the data and trust garnered in the consumer market (ToC) to establish a more compelling presence in the business sector (ToB).

This approach enables us to build and accumulate trust more effectively.

To assist individuals who potentially have concerns or those who simply wish to know their condition more easily, it is crucial to first establish a Head Spa salon.

Rewards

My ultimate goal is for people to understand the importance of caring for their scalp by experiencing our services firsthand. Through experiencing a head spa, individuals may have the opportunity to visualize stress or issues that they may not typically notice.

Please note: The rewards listed here will be redeemable for treatments at our salon. We will reach out to you directly regarding the reservation process, so please stay tuned for updates. You can make reservations through the following methods: Online booking, Direct messaging for reservations. We will prioritize guiding you through the booking process as soon as our opening is confirmed. Your patience is greatly appreciated.

For instance, issues like a stiff scalp or redness may go unnoticed or unfelt by oneself. By providing a healing environment and raising awareness about health, we aim to achieve our purpose. Furthermore, by spreading awareness of this initiative and expanding it to the Oceania region, we sincerely hope to positively impact the lives of many individuals.
