The business was created by Huda Quhshi after she became fed up with the lack of accessible salons for [Muslim women who wear hijabs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leana-deeb), as most salons offer services for both women and men, and some Muslim women cannot take their hijabs off in front of men. She decided to create this [women-only space](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-womens-sports-store) in order to ensure that Muslim women felt comfortable while receiving haircuts. Although the Le'Jemalik salon is women-only, it is not only specific to Muslims, and women from all religious and ethnic backgrounds are welcome. This salon works to create a comfortable space for a minority that tends to be underrepresented in various North American industries. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.4/10 - Popularity: 70% | Activity: 83% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Women-only Spaces:** Businesses can create exclusive spaces for underrepresented groups to ensure comfort and convenience. - **Cultural Inclusivity:** By catering to different cultural needs, businesses can expand their customer base and foster diversity and inclusion. - **Niche Markets:** By identifying and catering to niche markets, businesses can create successful ventures that address specific needs and provide unique experiences. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Salon Industry:** The salon industry can create women-only spaces that cater to specific cultural and religious needs, such as hijabs, to ensure inclusivity for all customers. - **Fashion Industry:** The fashion industry can create clothing lines that cater to specific religious and cultural needs, such as hijabs, to ensure inclusivity for all customers. - **Beauty Industry:** The beauty industry can create exclusive lines that cater to specific cultural and religious needs, such as halal cosmetics, to ensure inclusivity for all customers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Black Women-Focused Haircare Pop-Ups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/haircare-popup.md) - [Modern Female-Focused Communities](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-gettysburg-salon.md) - [Hybrid Hair Salons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hybrid-hair-salon.md) - [Children-Focused Salon Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sit-still-kids.md) - [Toronto Hair Wellness Spaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pomme-salon.md) - [Organically designed Salon Interiors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/curly-lab.md) - [At-Home Hairdressing Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ubhair.md) - [Transparency-Focused Salon Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/just-cuts.md) - [Art-Inspired Hair Salon Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nova-arts-salon.md)
