Today we’d like to introduce you to Shena Jones.
Shena, please share your story with us. How did you get to where you are today?
When I was 12 years old, my cousin bought me a mannequin head. I was into watching the Style Network in the 90s. Shortly after, I started teaching myself to braid. At the time my younger sister was two years old, I braided her hair and crocheted hair onto the braids. Once I made it to high school, I was on the track team and began to braid everyone’s hair. My skills became up to par, where I could start charging for my services.
After graduation, I attended pharmacy school. I began to realize this is not my field of expertise and ventured off to hair school. There was a job opportunity at JcPenny at their hair salon. God had better for me to be a sole proprietor so I left. I rented suits in various salons. After three unsuccessful attempts at being an entrepreneur, I never gave up. A business plan for my future was definitely needed. I’ve always loved making people feel great. Giving them confidence, self-worth and a refreshing. In spite of the obstacles, financial lack, I NEVER gave up. Within a year, my business plan was complete. This time around, I reinvented myself, redid my brand, logo and my vision. All those tears shed was worth it. God knew I was destined for greatness. I just had to see it for myself.
Has it been a smooth road?
There was bumps in the road, broken glass, shredded tires, potholes, etc. For me there was a lack of finances for supplies and products. I learned how to budget and plan. Marketing played a major role. Of course, the ones I knew that I’d done good work but no one else knew. Confidence building… Advertising… Presentation. Better I became.
We’d love to hear more about your business.
Queen (Royalty) Allure (Everything fascinating), which describes me entirely. I’m a hairstylist. I’m known for being my client’s life coach, therapist, friend and spiritual advisor. When clients sit in my chair, they unwind and let their guard down. Anything they need me to be to them at their time of need of comfort, I am just that. Everyone has a specialty. Truly I do not. Why? My desire to be a celebrity stylist knows no limit. I’m fluent in extensions, color, cold fusions, braiding, haircuts, and locs. I strive to provide an unforgettable experience and long-lasting relationship.
Is our city a good place to do what you do?
You can find a hairstylist in every nook and cranny. There is a difference between a service VS an experience. Dallas is a fashion district. We’re always innovating and recreating. Striving to be a trendsetter is vital. This is the perfect place.
