A Year to Build What You’ve been Dreaming of…

Tha Entrepreneur Scholarship Program

One artist. One year. Sponsored Studio

The Entrepreneur Scholarship at ThaBrowDoctor Salon Suites exists to open doors for beauty professionals with talent, heart, and vision — but maybe without the full financial space to take the first step. Once a year, we select one recipient to receive a private sponsored salon suite, for one year giving them the opportunity to build clientele, confidence, and a sustainable business.

Why This Scholarship Exists

Every successful business starts somewhere — often with courage, hard work, and someone willing to believe in the dream. We created this scholarship after witnessing too many gifted artists held back by environments that didn’t support their growth.

This program is our way of saying: you deserve a real chance. A chance to work in a professional, stress-free space. A chance to focus fully on your craft. A chance to build your dream and make it reality.

But wait… what’s the catch?

WE HAVE RULES

Our Entrepreneur Scholarship is built on trust, respect, and shared values. To ensure a positive experience for everyone, the following guidelines apply:

  • The scholarship provides one private salon suite, sponsored for one year and is non-transferable.

  • The recipient operates as an independent business owner and is responsible for their own licensing, insurance, taxes, supplies, and clients.

  • The suite is intended for one approved artist only and may not be shared or subleased.

  • A professional, respectful, and drama-free environment is expected at all times.

  • Suites and shared spaces should be kept clean and cared for so the environment remains welcoming for everyone.

  • The scholarship is designed for artists looking to actively build their business and are committed to growth.

  • At the conclusion of the year, the recipient may choose to transition into another suite or continue their journey elsewhere.

This opportunity is a gift of space and trust, and we ask that it be honored with professionalism, gratitude, and care.

“I want to give someone the opportunity to build the life they dream about and more importantly I want to give back what was given to me.”

-Co Owner & USMC Veteran Ms. Chelsea Ricketts

Sponsored Studio → Supported Transition

Your journey begins with a 3 month Sponsored Studio / Launch Phase — time to settle in, build clientele, and create momentum.

After that, weekly rent is introduced gradually:

💵 Starts at $10 per week 📈 Increases slowly over time 🤍 Guidance and support available along the way

Small pressure. Long runway. Real preparation.

Step Into Full Ownership

By the end of the program, you’re ready.

✨ Able & Paying standard booth rent ✨ Confident in your numbers and systems ✨ Focused, independent, and prepared

You’ll leave with more than a space — you’ll leave with the mindset of a business owner.

The Entrepreneur Scholarship

A supported start — with a real-world foundation.

Our Entrepreneur Scholarship is designed to do more than offer free space. It’s built to prepare you for the realities of business ownership in a way that is thoughtful, gradual, and empowering.

The selected recipient begins with two months completely rent-free in a private salon suite. This initial period is meant to give you breathing room — time to settle in, attract clients, and focus on your craft without financial pressure.

After the first three months, a graduated weekly rent is introduced, beginning at $10 per week. Over time, this amount increases very gradually, allowing you to adjust, plan, and grow alongside it. By the end of the scholarship term, the recipient will be paying full booth rent, fully prepared to sustain their business independently.

This structure exists for a reason.

We believe growth happens when support and responsibility work together. Applying a small amount of pressure over a long period creates momentum, discipline, and confidence — and prepares you for ownership while your passion fuels the dream, consistency and accountability sustain it.

This is not about rushing you.
It’s about walking you toward ownership with intention.

By the end of the program, our goal is for you to leave not only with a built clientele, but with the mindset, habits, and confidence of a true business owner — ready for whatever comes next.

The Heart of the Scholarship

Every talented artist deserves a space that reflects their craft, vision, and ambition. Too often, skill alone isn’t enough — without the right environment, community, and support, growth can stall. This scholarship bridges that gap, offering a suite where you can create, learn, and flourish.

What You Gain

  • A safe, professional space to focus on your clients and craft

  • Guided independence that prepares you for real-world business ownership

  • Momentum and confidence to carry your vision forward

  • Support and encouragement, paired with clear expectations and accountability

Why It Matters

This program isn’t just about a free or sponsored suite — it’s about stepping into your potential. We provide the opportunity, but the growth comes from showing up, putting in the work, and embracing the journey. By the end of the year, you’ll leave ready to run a thriving, sustainable business — fully prepared, fully confident, and fully supported.

“Talent is everywhere. Opportunity is not. We’re here to give it to you — but only if you’re ready to show up and do the work.”

THABROWDOCTOR Signature Mantra

“She realized wanting more meant becoming the woman who could carry it.”

Because elevation requires ownership. Growth demands consistency. And success is sustained by the woman willing to rise to the responsibility of her vision.
