For Crystal Taylor and Chassie Hill, fashion is a lifestyle.
In 2013, Taylor and Hill added ownership of an online boutique to their resumes. Taylor also writes her own fashion blog, “Billie Jean,” and works in retail. Hill is a stylist for Rae Cosmetics, doing hair and makeup for events like proms and weddings.
Together, the sisters run Crown of Glory, an online hair boutique that sells an array of hair accessories, including headbands, head wraps and turbans.
A portion of their profits goes toward their foundation, The Sandra Jean Foundation. Taylor and Hill’s grandmother, Sandra Jean, lost her fight with ovarian cancer in 1999. The sisters pay homage to their grandmother with the foundation. The money goes toward buying wigs for women who have lost their hair, or “crown of glory,” through cancer treatment.
Right now, the business is online and run out of Hill and Taylor’s hometown of Austin, Texas. Hill lives in Austin and Taylor lives in Baton Rouge. Taylor and Hill use family events and social media to come together to work on the company. Hill said Taylor comes back to Austin about once a month for gatherings and to bring her daughter to visit the family.
“We get it done and make it work,” Hill said.
Crown of Glory finds talented vendors and buys wholesale from them to sell the headbands in the online boutique. The company acts as the middle man between the designers and the consumers.
“We are eventually going to have a hair salon as well where we sell the hair accessories,” Taylor said.
Hill, who has a cosmetology license, said she plans to do her cosmetology work at the salon along with selling headbands.
“I am the one who finds the vendors, buys the products and does the marketing for the business,” ” Taylor said. “Once we have our salon finished, I will only help with maintaining the website and marketing.” She said the salon will mainly be Hill’s.
Hill said the headbands range from elegant for proms, dates and homecomings to casual for everyday wear. The “Zelda Halo” includes feathers and jewels while the “Anchor Wire Headband” comes in multiple colors and works well with a plain T-shirt.
A new addition to the online website is a headband inspired by LSU. Hill described the headband as turban style that twists in the front and is purple on one half and gold on the other half.
“We had our LSU headband custom made with LSU colors,” Taylor said. “We are marketing them for campus wear and for tailgates. We also have a gold and yellow headband that we are wanting to also market towards LSU students.”
The headbands in Hill and Taylor’s online boutique can be purchased at crownofglory.bigcartel.com.
