For the first time ever, I'm choosing to own my story. All of it. So if you fancy a read feel free My name is Natasha and I am the founder of Crown Creations. I left school in 2003, went to college, fell completely in love with hair โ and never looked back. I built a mobile business around my children, grew it into a salon, taught others, and somewhere along the way realised that hair was never really what I was doing. I was helping women feel like themselves again. And then life tried to take that from me. Within the first week of opening my salon in Dover, it flooded. Two months later it was burnt down in an arson attack. I rebuilt. Again. Found my dream salon in Sandgate. Then Covid hit. And I came back better than ever. Stronger. More focused. More determined. A year later, my husband had an affair. And it broke me completely. Not just the betrayal โ but the people involved came for my business too. The harassment. The attacks. The anxiety that wouldn't leave. I lost my sense of safety in my own life. I closed the doors on Crown Creations. On the thing that was most me. But here's what I want you to know about that chapter โ My husband and I worked through it. Together. That's not a decision everyone would make and I respect that completely. But I chose understanding over hate. Support over bitterness. Even through the deepest pain I've ever felt. He had his own blocks he needed to work through. We both did. And today, as a couple, we are stronger than we have ever been. For three years while I was healing, I buried myself in employment โ working for someone else, making someone else rich. I generated ยฃ1.5 million for a company with toxic management who didn't deserve a single penny of it. Two months ago I walked away. I backed myself completely for the first time in years. And I came back to Crown Creations. Because here's what I know now that I didn't before Every single thing I went through? The floods. The fire. Covid. The betrayal. The grief. The anxiety. The rebuilding โ over and over and over again?
