Hair-nistas cheer My Salon Scoop to continue its hair journey
In our first year, we had a lot of support both creatively and behind the scenes. Usually, new business ventures beg for support. However, we were blessed to attract like-minded entrepreneurs who not only caught the vision, but also became our biggest fans. Because of their support, we were allowed to find our editorial voice, strengthen our business resolve, and become a new member among the harbingers of hair health.
But don't take our word for it. Listen to what they have to say:
 "My Salon Scoop is such a fabulous unique resource for women of color throughout the country. I love that I could refer my friends, no matter where they live, to go to www.mysalonscoop.com to not only find a reputable new stylist, but to also get helpful tips on keeping your hair healthy. I don't know of anywhere else where you can get such detailed information.
"My Salon Scoop has come a long way this past year. The online magazine has featured articles from prominent writers, the search capabilities are more robust, and there are more great reviews than ever before. The company made such a compelling presentation about its growth and future plans, that it won a business grant from the prestigious Wharton Business School's business plan competition. V. Woods, an MBA graduate of the Wharton Business School, is the company's founder and is passionate about empowering women of color throughout the country to take control of their hair, and I fully support her efforts. As a fellow entrepreneur and Wharton alumna, I can appreciate the planning and execution it takes to successfully launch and grow a business."
—Jewell Staley, Founder and CEO of Remember Our Day Favors
"I first learned about My Salon Scoop and Ms. V. Woods through Savor the Success—one of my online social networks. I was just launching my radio show "Get Your Style Right, Girl," on blogtalk radio. After connecting with V., I found her business MySalonScoop.com to be so cool and informative. I told her ‘It's definitely needed and you are on to something big here.'
"The concept of My Salon Scoop is so universal, yet so dear, especially to the African-American community. I was so inspired that I invited Ms. V. to be a guest on my show to talk shop. It was one of my first shows and it was ‘the bomb.' I think My Salon Scoop.com is here to stay, and I can't wait to see what the future holds. All the best to you V. and keep it coming!! Congratulations on your success."
—Yvette Ervin, Founder and Creative Director of BeautyFullofColor.com
"Congratulations on your first Anniversary, MySalonScoop.com! I just recently found out about your site and I just love it! I'm a salon business coach and since finding out about the site, we've managed to interview founder V. Woods to tell us hairstylists, what clients are ‘really' thinking!
"After all, the better we can communicate with each other, the better for both stylist and client! This site covers it all! My Salon Scoop.com also shared its insights at our Beauty SuperStars Symposium, an educational conference that is designed to increase the skills and professionalism in the beauty industry. We (the entire Beauty SuperStars team) wish you continued success and look forward to working with you in the future!"
—Miki Wright, Salon Coach and Creator of BeautySuperStars.com
 "V. Woods has consistently and persistently built up MySalonScoop.com from a business model on paper to a fully functioning Web site that offers a one-of-a-kind service to black women who love their hair. How appealing is that?
"Even more attractive is that the site manages to bridge the worlds of stylists and patrons. The content is informed on that relationship, which is groundbreaking in and of itself. Can't wait to see what the future holds. Blessings to V, Nichole Palmer and the staff of MySalonScoop.com."

 Congratulations on your one year anniversary. I remember it like it was yesterday when My Salon Scoop was first launched. It's always great to know that we have a place where we can turn to for honest, unbiased feedback on where can we get our tresses cared for.
Your site has not only made it easier for black women to find establishments that provide great hair care, but also superior customer service. Congratulations on becoming the "go-to" place for black salon reviews. Keep up the great work!
