Today we’d like to introduce you to Jamya Ricks.
Hi Jamya, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
I am Jamya Ricks, a teen that discovered her entrepreneurial spark at an early age. Becoming an entrepreneur isn’t something that just fell in my lap. Since I was young, I always knew I wanted to work for myself. I’ve had various small businesses throughout the years before finding success in the beauty industry.
At the age of 16, my passion for beauty began. Everything I’ve learned, I’ve done through trial and error and by studying those who found success before me.
For the past three years, I’ve worked to perfect my craft and have learned so much along the way. My clientele has grown tremendously in such a short time, which helps push me out of my comfort zone.
My goal is to continue to further my skills and expand my business to working with celebrity clients.
I’m sure you wouldn’t say it’s been obstacle-free, but so far would you say the journey has been a fairly smooth road?
Starting a business from the ground up has many challenges.
Obtaining clients, in the beginning, is hard because no one knows your business exists. Patience is key to growth. One of the ways I’ve been able to increase awareness is by being authentic to who I am.
I’ve also invested in my business by doing brand photoshoots to take my social media presence up a notch.
As you know, we’re big fans of AMOURMYHAIR. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about the brand?
Amourmyhair is an online hair company offering a variety of high-quality and affordable products. Established in 2021, we have seen major growth since the beginning. I’m humbled, reflecting on how much success I have had despite having very little money to start up.
Hair has always been my passion. Since adolescence, I have always had an entrepreneur mindset. I knew working for myself would be the only option for me, letting nothing stop me from making my dream a reality. My work ethic speaks for itself. At the young age of 19, not only have I had success with selling and producing Amourmyhair brand products, but I’ve also had much success as a hairstylist.
My goal is to inspire other women aspiring to be breakthroughs in the beauty industry while continuously enhancing my hair and business skills. I understand what it takes to own and operate a successful small business and I’m up for the challenge. With dedication and hard work, I have the vision and have outlined a plan to help me elevate, including expanding into a boutique and cosmetic line.
I’m extremely proud of my tenacity. Statistics show that most small businesses fail within the first few years, but I’m determined to keep going and make a name for myself, stopping at nothing until my brand is a multi-billion dollar business.
Have you learned any interesting or important lessons due to the Covid-19 Crisis?
The Covid-19 crisis changed the way of life.
While this season was hard for us all, I saw firsthand just how powerful the internet is. I was able to utilize various platforms, such as Instagram, to expand my audience and increase awareness of my brand.
