We had the good fortune of connecting with Crystal Clark and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Crystal, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
The thought process behind me starting this business was that it was mine and I was my own boss. Plus I was gonna be able to work with my best friend, my mom. Don’t get me wrong, it can be hard and taxing at times and very stressful but I absolutely love what I do with a passion and i don’t see it as a job. I have also loved serving others and helping others and hair just fell into place. I grew up in a salon, first as a shampoo tech at the age of 14 because my mom was a nail tech and I always loved playing with hair and makeup and doing every ones hair when we had places to go and occasions. So I knew one day I would have my own salon and hopefully it would be with my mother. Now 5 years later this October the dream is real!!
Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
I am a Hair Artist…I have always had a drive for hair and believe its my passion not a job and I take pride in what I do when I create the art of Hair. I learned early on that discipline and hard work take you far in life. It’s not easy but i have loved this last 17 years of standing behind the chair with lots of clients coming and going. In 2015 when we opened the doors to Be*You*tiful Salon Salon & Spa in Conyers, GA , it was the best thing for my mom and I. It was a dream come true. No more drama filled salon life and no more worrying about anything but just us! Now coming up on our 5year anniversary and coming out or we are still in the Covid-19 era, we are still thriving without help from anyone!! We are thriving!!! Without help from anyone, financially or the government and we have GOD to THANK!! Don’t get me wrong those weeks were hard and we didn’t know what we were gonna do, but we have made it. Thanks to are faithful clients, whom are friends and family!! Everything we do and have accomplished came from the Lord above and we strive to serve him first.
