Today we’d like to introduce you to Krystal Dior Hicks.
Hi Krystal, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstories with our readers?
I started out in corporate in the finance industry. I always hated clocking in and making someone else’s dream a reality. I remember telling my ex I wanted to leave corporate and start a hair extension business. After brainstorming Konfident Hair was created. The business grew so fast that I left corporate. In one month, I made 14k from selling hair extensions. From there Konfident Hair Studios was born so that I could sell hair extensions in a hair salon. I then wanted to branch off and do something different. So, I opened a women’s clothing boutique, K. Dior Boutique. It was a fun experience & I learned a lot. One year I woke up and said I wanted to focus more on service-based businesses. I closed my businesses to focus on what was next for me. After owning a beauty salon, hair extension business, women’s boutique, business coaching business, and other endeavors, I decided it was time to venture off into Real Estate. I then became a realtor in 2016 expanding my portfolio. Once getting in Real Estate, I realized that’s what I was passionate about and I wanted to expand in all areas of Real Estate. I then created The Dorsey Team LLC (now Speedy Cash Home Buyers LLC) for my Real Estate transactions & to wholesale and flip land. After selling lots to several builders and investors, I decided I wanted to get into home building. I then went on to start Dior Homes to bring more modern homes to Dallas. I’m currently working on several new construction projects in the DFW area and continuing to wholesale/flip land. I have now been self-employed for over 10 years. I have no regrets about my journey and what it took to get here.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall, and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
It hasn’t been a smooth road at all. I’ve gone broke investing in my dream. I’ve failed at multiple things but it didn’t stop me. I’ve lost a lot of money on the way but I never gave up. If I would’ve gave up, I wouldn’t be where I am today.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know?
Dior Homes Is A Distinguished Luxury Home Building company. I started Dior Homes because I felt DFW deserves modern luxury homes in all areas. Dior Homes has three different series of homes. Our Dior Classic collection is semi-traditional with a modern touch. Our Dior Luxe collection is our contemporary modern home. Our Dior Custom collection is our custom home to fit whatever need or want you desire. Whatever your budget is you can live in luxury too. Everyone deserves to wake up to a beautiful Dior Home.
Is there anyone you’d like to thank or give credit to?
I couldn’t have done this without my kids. There were so many days and nights I was busy but they were patient with me. They are my biggest supporters and motivation. I also want to thank my friends and family that have been supporting all my different dreams all these years. I can’t forget about my grandma, Deloris Hicks. She had a candy house and movie business growing up. She definitely instilled the entrepreneur hustle in me. Last but not least I want to thank my father, Edward Hicks. He was my biggest supporter. He was there when I started every business. He always passed out my flyers, business cards, & told everyone about my businesses… I will continue to make him proud and carry on our Hicks legacy.
