Mobile App Development Internship – 2

Problem to solve
• 2 million+ women/men of visible minority in Canada and have significant difficulty finding beauty services and products that fit their needs, personality, hair type and skin tone.
• 10,000+ salon owners and independent beauticians of visible minority do not have any platform to promote, grow and provide beauty services.

Sliike Business Solution
Sliike develops an App and website that solves the problems outlined above by using its technology platform (App and website) to bring beauty services and products closer to people of visible minority (BIPOC – Black, Indigenous, People of Color) as well as all Canadians. The platform will provide indirect jobs for independent beauticians and barbers who have the skill set to perform their trade but no platform to exercise their trade. The platform will promote the grow of the beauticians’ trade and provide them visibility and increased revenue while users (clients of beauticians) will have choices, comfort, convenience, and quality.
Sliike platform will also be place of community and engagement for people of visible minority and new immigrants to Canada to connect, engage, integrate, collaborate, and share stories/experiences. The platform will promote culture, values and history of visible minorities and connect them to Canadians.

The platform will also be a one-stop shop for connecting beauticians and their clients to brands in cosmetics, fashion, lifestyle, beauty, home care and personal care.
