Temecula Business Be Kekoa INC Needs Your Support

The new coronavirus has changed life for all of us. Local businesses have taken a huge economic hit, but communities are finding creative ways to support the establishments they know and love.

In an effort to help local businesses in our communities stay connected and succeed, Patch will shine a light on some of them through a series of Q&A articles during this time.

Be Kekoa INC is one of the businesses in town facing struggles during the coronavirus. You can lend your support by reading more about the company, below, and by contacting them here.

Tell us about your business and its history in your town.

Be Kekoa, Inc. is a healthy hair studio and beauty brand uniquely positioned at the intersection of textured hair and natural skincare. Since 2011, Be Kekoa has taken the textured hair marketplace by storm, offering a personalized approach to healthy hair care for kinky, curly, coily, and wavy hair.

Kekoa means warrior in Hawaiian. The bold, fierce, and courageous spirit of Be Kekoa is evident in every service offered, every product created, and every satisfied client that leaves the salon chair more in love with their textured hair than when they arrived. With signature services, powerful products, and pioneering endeavors in fair trade commerce, Be Kekoa has created the blueprint for true inclusion of all hair types, while proving that businesses have an ethical responsibility to giving back.

How has the new coronavirus impacted your business and its employees?

It’s impacted the hair industry greatly. As stylists we are no longer essential, therefore we can no longer service clients.

How can local customers support you now and in the future?

We have handcrafted hair and apothecary products. Our products are made onsite by our cosmetic chemist. Customers can order products online now and in the future they can come to our salon and apothecary store.

Do you have any words of encouragement for your community?

This too shall pass. As business owners we need to learn to be gentle on ourselves and take this time to reflect on our accomplishments.

Are you offering any special services, promotions or hours during this time?

Yes. We are offering 20 percent off of our hair products. Use the code Bkstrong.

Are there any other outstanding businesses in town you think deserve some community support?

1909 and Toast.
