Investors have been receptive, as well. The company first approached prospective investors when the site was nearing completion. Within three months, they had met their initial capital goals. “It took us more than a year to build this website, but our investors saw the value and incredible growth potential almost immediately,” says SalonGalaxy.com Founder, Partner, and Manager, Arthur DiGiacomo.
“The beauty industry is massive, and virtually recession-proof - our investors agree this is an exciting space in which to operate,” he adds. DiGiacomo is a 29-year veteran of the beauty industry, having practiced as a stylist, trainer, and salon owner. He admits that the industry has been in need of such a unifying force for much of his career.
No industry exists without its respective consumers, and SalonGalaxy.com will offer a place for them, as well. Users will be able to search for a stylist or salon, and even pose their hair challenge questions to beauty experts using the site's Ask The Pros® function.
Company executives will be on hand at IBS Booth 1450 on Sunday, April 27 at 11am to conduct a ribbon cutting and meet interested industry professionals. Executives will also be on-site throughout the show to answer questions, award prizes, and demonstrate the site.
