Businesses that are selected from applications to join Comcast RISE receive support via marketing consultations, media, creative production or a technology makeover from Comcast Business services.

Comcast RISE grant recipient Roxanne Watson is the owner of Beautif Eye Me 360, a beauty salon in Indianapolis. She says her inspiration to delve into the beauty industry stemmed from her mother. As a young girl, Roxanne watched her mother apply cosmetics and was floored by her magical transformation with just a little red lipstick. She recalls, “I remember looking at my mom and how when she put her red lipstick on, it made her feel like a beautiful person.”

Being in the beauty industry, Roxanne strives to ensure that every woman who walks into her business feels that same magic. Beautif Eye Me 360 aims to offer an experience that allows customers to feel beautiful from the inside out. “To me, beauty starts within,” she explains. “You believe it first, then you’re able to execute it on the outside, and then you have a beautiful exchange.” Thanks to her Comcast RISE technology makeover grant, Roxanne received state-of-the-art equipment and a technology upgrade from Comcast Business. For an entire year, Comcast will also provide technology consultation, essential equipment as well as internet, voice and cybersecurity services.
