Mattie's Mobile Services
In honor of our founder's mother "Mattie (Sister) Ealy", Mattie's Mobile Services is an outreach program that provides basic hair care services to African American women residing in healthcare facilities.
Mattie's Story
Mattie became ill at an early age. She suffered many health ailments and had a major stroke at the age of 67, forcing the family to place her in a skilled nursing facility. Her daughters, Theresa and Linda, realized there was a need for hair care for African American women residing in healthcare facilities. The salon on-site allowed Mattie’s daughters the opportunity to provide hair care services for their mother.
Mattie Mobile Services will be available in September 2023.
"Mom here's to you, we miss your loving and kind spirit."
