Violet Garjeev of Nefteuganska opened a hairdresser " ProFIX " and, through a grant for young entrepreneurs, expanded the network to three salons. Business is Violet's first job.

The lounges have a quality label, " Best in their case " , from the Administration of Petroleum and a trademark " Done in the South " .
“In our salons, customers don't overpaid for tea, coffee, commercials, anything that increases the cost of haircuts. Each branch has an electronic administrator, Stereminal. Through it, you can choose a service, sign up and pay it in a convenient way. And we're also returning to our clients by 10 per cent kashback, told Violet Gareva.

Nikita began to develop computer software for graphic design, make tabs, tables, greeting cards. That's where he caught a video, a schedule, a picture. During the breaks between study and distance, Nikita helped to carry out the printing. After the end of the vault in 2019, a young man opened the PPI and received a ready business from his father.
