Launching the HeartPrintHub Beauty & Training Salon in Cambodia
In February, Mane Mission will take a defining step forward.
We are traveling to Cambodia to officially launch the Beauty & Training Salon in collaboration with HeartPrint and the HeartPrint Hub.
This is not simply a grand opening.
It is the realization of a belief that has guided Mane Mission from the beginning:
Skill creates confidence. Confidence creates opportunity.
This trip is more than a ribbon-cutting.

Why Cambodia — and Why Now
Cambodia is home to resilient communities working to rebuild futures through education, skill-building, and sustainable employment. Through our partnership with HeartPrint, we have the opportunity to contribute to that work in a way that is practical, dignified, and lasting.
The HeartPrint Hub serves as a community-centered space focused on training, education, and long-term empowerment. By embedding a fully operational beauty and training salon within this hub, we are creating access to a globally relevant, income-generating skill, cosmetology, that can support individuals not just today, but for years to come.
This salon is not a temporary initiative.
It is designed to be taught, replicated, and sustained locally.
What this Salon Will Do
This salon is built around one core principle: vocational training should lead to real opportunity.
Inside the salon, participants will receive:
Hands-on beauty and hair training rooted in professional standards
Education on hygiene, client care, and workplace readiness
Mentorship focused on confidence, consistency, and self-trust
A pathway to income through service-based work
This is not about charity.
It is about capacity.
By teaching a transferable skill and supporting it with education and structure, we help create stability that extends beyond the salon walls into families, communities, and future generations.
The February Launch: What This Trip Represents
Our February trip marks the official opening and activation of the salon space. During this visit, we will:
Finalize the salon setup and training environment
Work alongside HeartPrint leadership to align curriculum and flow
Support the first phase of hands-on training
Establish systems that allow the salon to operate independently and sustainably
Equally important, this trip is about relationship.
True impact does not come from dropping in with solutions. It comes from listening, collaborating, and building alongside the people who live and lead in these communities every day.
A Global Extension of a Local Mission
Mane Mission began with a simple but powerful idea: that the beauty industry can be a vehicle for confidence, access, and self-determination.
That idea has guided our work locally and now globally.
The Cambodia salon is not separate from our mission; it is an extension of it. Whether through local programs or international partnerships, the goal remains the same:
Equip people with skills
Restore confidence through purposeful work
Create sustainable futures through education
From local initiatives to international training programs, the work is connected by one truth: when people are given tools instead of limits, everything changes.
Looking Ahead
This blog marks the beginning of a new chapter for Mane Mission, one rooted in transparency, storytelling, and shared progress.
Over the coming months, we will share:
Updates from Cambodia
Behind-the-scenes looks at the salon build-out and training process
Stories of growth, learning, and collaboration
Ways our community can follow, support, and engage with this work
We believe impact should be visible, thoughtful, and accountable and we’re committed to bringing you along as this project unfolds.
Thank You for Being Here
Mane Mission exists because of a shared belief: that empowerment is built through action, not intention alone.
As we prepare to step into this next phase, we do so with gratitude, humility, and clarity of purpose.
This is just the beginning.
Where skill becomes confidence and confidence becomes opportunity.
