Week of January 4: Hair Salon Storefront Project

This week for our storefront project we are working on finishing parts 4-6 up and re-editing the entire business plan. We are struggling a lot more than anticipated with part 4. This is mainly because of the lack of communication within our group. We initially had a solid part 4 and then it was changed so we had to go in and change parts 5 and 6 again. This posed as a tedious task as re-doing parts 5 and 6 consist of calculations as well as explanations that take a while to complete. Although we have a lot to do, I feel like the spine of this project is really solid. We’ve made our idea into something that seems viable. We made it unique, which at the start of this project it wasn’t really that different from your average salon. I feel confident that by the end of this week we will have a good business plan and something that is worth sharing and presenting. My group and I are actually pretty proud of the work we’ve done. What started as just another project has turned into something that is important to us. When we talk about have we value student education and diversification in comes from truth. Had we actually made this project a reality we would like to see it’s success not only for our own personal satisfaction, but also to further enrich the education of the student interns there and to create a place where a group of people, who hadn’t previously had the option of going to Brookline for hair services, can go. I really found that, aside from the large workload, I actually enjoyed their project. There was an end goal and we knew exactly what we had to do to reach it. While we had some road bumps early on in this project, we figured it out and completed it with a good sense of accomplishment.
