From Single Mom to Haircare Mogul, One San Antonio Stylist Masters Texas-Sized ‘Glamour’
SAN ANTONIO, TX, UNITED STATES: After nearly two decades of hard work, Alicia Maxine Franklin, tenacious entrepreneur, and founder of Shear Glamour Salon can look back with pride at the magnitude of her accomplishments. Not that long ago, Alicia was a single mom who had no savings and was not creditworthy, yet she moved on in an act of faith toward her passionate goal. Showered with encouraging words by many well-wishers, Alicia kept her stride. Her mission was and still is, to provide quality holistic services that are tailored to her client’s individual needs. Opening Shear Glamour Salon made Alicia’s dream a reality. “I am always striving to be the best version of me so I can pour that energy into others.” Ms. Alicia is now a master hair extension specialist, cosmetologist, and cosmetology instructor, specializing in healthy hair care and hair loss.
Shear Glamour Salon has beat the odds during these trying times in America. According to an article in Allure Magazine, “the salon business is not built to withstand a pandemic. About 72 percent of hair salon workers polled said that they either live paycheck-to-paycheck or have only about a month’s worth of cash reserves to live on. About 23 percent reported having no health insurance.” The times may seem dire for some, but Alicia’s grit, coupled with her professionalism and impeccable service, has customers lining up.

The sought-after products, including hair wax and intensive hair oil, are now available on-line and in the salon.
