Mane Focus Family Hair Care & Tanning, Halifax
$7,000 loan

PREVIOUSLY A PERSONAL RESIDENCE, A REAL ESTATE OFFICE, AND AN AUTO DEALERSHIP, THE COZY HOUSE IN HALIFAX IS HOME TO MANE FOCUS FAMILY HAIR CARE & TANNING.

Judith Reinfeld, owner of Mane Focus, brings 24 years of professional experience to her salon.  Three years ago, Judy took a leap of faith, temporary giving up her steady income at a competitive hair salon in order to open her own shop.  “Surprisingly, the transition went very smoothly, for which I’m thankful,” says Judy.  Her reputation preceeds her, as more than 90% of Judy’s client base moved with her to the new location. 

Judy cites many rewards to being a business owner, including hiring the employees she’d like to work for her and the ability to be her own boss.  While Judy manages all of the accounting herself, she ultimately prefers the customer relations aspect of her career, sending satisfied clients home with a chic haircut.
