As of Tuesday, November 26, we are officially closed until Sunday, December 1.
Before stepping away for this brief break, I want to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude to my Crowned with Faith family.
In August 2023, I made the decision to return to the life of a full-time stylist, and I hit the ground running. I came back with fire in my heart, feeling like the hair industry owed me something—but I quickly realized it was me who had to put in the work. I was blessed to be mentored by Renicka Carswell, who took me under her wing not once, but twice. She poured all of her knowledge into me, teaching me not only the tools of the trade but also how to avoid the mistakes she made so that I could thrive.
Fast forward to August 2024, and it was finally my moment to put all those lessons to the test. Along the way, I’ve been blessed with an incredible friend and colleague, Tiaa Shantel, who has been my rock—pushing me forward even when life felt unbearably heavy.
But most importantly, my clients—you all—poured into me in ways I can’t fully put into words. You stayed patient, showed up early, stayed late, checked in on me, and even came to my house when needed. Together, we’ve shared so much more than just hair appointments—we’ve laughed, cried, prayed, and done life together.
For years, I felt a void, not knowing what I truly wanted out of life. But when I started investing in Crowned with Faith, giving it my time, energy, and heart, its true purpose began to shine. This business is more than just a salon—it’s my ministry. It’s a space for growth, authenticity, and community.
This Thanksgiving, I’ll be stepping away to refuel, recharge, and pour back into myself and my business so that I can continue serving you with love and excellence.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you for being part of this journey. Thank you for believing in me and Crowned with Faith.
Enjoy this holiday season—rest, reflect, and refill your cups. I can’t wait to see you all again starting December 1.
With love and gratitude,
Imani Ricks 💕
