Meet Teneisha Smith, Round 1 grantee and owner of Smitteez Cutz Barber Shop.

Smitteez Cutz is a Black-owned neighborhood barbershop and nail salon.

A Beyond Open grant will be used to replace worn-out and outdated equipment.

“The industry that I am in requires a level of cleanliness and professionalism for the public. The new equipment will invite new faces into the establishment and keep old faces coming back.” - Teneisha Smith
