Christal Johnson
About my company
Christal Glam is a non-profit organization that provides customized wigs and hair pieces for people who have cancer and other illnesses that cause them to lose their hair. I also provide personalized skin care and facials.
I chose this career path because
My mother was a cosmetologist and I inherited my skills and passion from her. I was inspired to start Christal Glam after my father was diagnosed with stage 2 colon cancer. His biggest concern was losing his hair and I wanted to help others on the same journey, with the same fears and concerns as my father.
I prepared for this career by
I took classes and courses to further my education and knowledge, beyond what I learned from experience.
The biggest challenge I've overcome
The biggest challenge for me has been actually stepping out and making this dream a reality. It is very scary being a single mom with dreams and aspirations but no funds to start a business. I found myself always wondering and worrying where money would come from while raising my son alone, but I found the strength to do it and 1 year later it is all coming together beautifully!
