The Business Case
The average women's haircut costs €50–60 in Ireland. Grant schemes can give your client up to €500–€770 toward a hair replacement item — and a trained salon can guide them through it.
You're not just changing your business model — you're helping clients through one of the hardest experiences of their lives. With the right training, your team won't just perform these treatments; they'll walk clients through the grant application process from start to finish.
