Life & Work with Ciarra Flannigan Wimbley

Today we’d like to introduce you to Ciarra Flannigan Wimbley.

Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started? 
The story of our friendship started much further back than our business partnership. Paula and Ciarra became close friends while attending classes at Cleveland State University. Despite relocating across the country, motherhood, weddings, and multiple business ventures, the pair remained as tight as a ponytail and were determined to start a business together when the time was right. In April of 2023, that moment became a reality when Ciarra told Paula we should partner to create a luxury wig line due to the subpar quality Ciarra experienced prior to the conversation. Voila, a brand was born! 

I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
In the words of our Gen Z peeps, life has been life’n! Unfortunately, life doesn’t stop because we have brand new baby business to nurture. Having a business partner to hold you accountable for business and support you in life makes both a little easier. The greatest struggle we have business-wise is separating our brand from the competition to attract more customers. We bring different strengths and weaknesses to the business that complement each other. For example, Paula is an amazing hair stylist, so she handles quality control and wig orders, whereas Ciarra is a model and aspiring marketing guru, so she handles the website, social media, and photo shoots. Now the challenge is getting through a business meeting without cracking jokes or staying on topic when we really want to discuss the latest Beyonce tour! 

Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
WE ARE YOUR PREMIER LUXURY WIG COMPANY! Sorry not sorry; it feels good to just yell it from time to time 🙂 We specialize in making people feel beautiful from the inside out. If we can promote positivity, self-love and make people feel good about themselves before they even make a purchase, then our mission is accomplished. Buying a super luxurious, high-quality, head-turning wig unit is just an added bonus. Providing a sense of collective sisterhood and support while simultaneously doing constant quality control and educating ourselves on the most up to date industry standards definitely set us apart. 

Alright, so before we go, can you talk to us a bit about how people can work with you, collaborate with you, or support you?
We would love if people could spread the word about Lux Queens Hair. As much as we want everyone to be our customers, we would much rather have everyone as little ambassador minions telling their friends about the luxury wig brand that likes to change lives in the process. We would love to collaborate with other like-minded brands to create different product/service giveaways to the community.
