Allure Crown & Glory, a beauty supply store and salon, offers a variety of inclusive products and services. "Allure Crown & Glory is a beauty supply store and oasis offering a wide range of inclusive products and services. We provide haircare, skincare, and grooming products for men, women, and children. On the service side, we specialize in braiding, lash artistry, and other beauty enhancements, creating a welcoming space for self-expression and empowerment."

The salon began operations in July 2024, with the official opening of the store on October 13, 2024.

The founder was motivated to start Allure Crown & Glory by recognizing a lack of access to beauty products for Black families in their community after relocating. "I started Allure Crown & Glory to address the lack of access to beauty products and services for Black families in our community. After relocating, I realized there was a gap in meeting these needs, and I felt compelled to create a space where everyone could feel represented and cared for."

Reflecting on the journey as a small business owner so far: "It’s been a journey of growth, resilience, and learning. Starting this business meant overcoming self-doubt and financial challenges, but it has also been an incredibly rewarding experience. Seeing the positive impact on my community keeps me motivated."

Opening its doors was highlighted as the most rewarding moment: "The most rewarding moment has been opening our doors and witnessing the joy and confidence our clients feel when they use our products or services. Building a business that uplifts others and fills a gap in the community is the most fulfilling part."

Challenges such as funding were noted: "The biggest challenges have been funding and balancing the responsibilities of running a business with my personal life. Learning to trust myself and push through self-doubt has been key to overcoming these obstacles."

Support from family played an influential role: "My husband and children have been my biggest supporters, always encouraging me to keep going. Their belief in my vision has been a source of strength and motivation throughout this journey."

Looking ahead: "I’m most excited about growing the business and introducing new opportunities for empowerment like the vision of Allure University. This would be a space where young people can learn skills like hair care, skincare, and product creation building confidence and sense of self-worth."

Located at 1255 S Monroe Suite 102-103 in Green Bay WI., Allure Crown & Glory also maintains an online presence.
