My interviews
with women of God.
The Ministry of
Shear Glory Hair Design
I first met Katrinka Webb in the late spring of 2011, when
we came through Haywood County (NC) for the first
time. Within minutes, she had shown such a genuine
compassion for us, that we were amazed at her concern
and generosity. We had come to realize then, and have
experienced it since, that not all are as genuine as they
would want others to believe. But, this lady: she is the
real deal! So, here is her story, in her own words.
PPM:
How did you come to have Shear Glory?
Katrinka:
After 20 years in the business, and working at several different places~some good, and some not so
good~I had started praying about it. A lot of the young girls, because they did not have a large
clientele, a lot of the salons did not want to help them. So, I really got a burden to help the young
ladies get on their feet and build their business, while giving them a safe environment. Some of the
environments I had gone into were not so great. I wanted to give them an environment where they
could grow and learn, and be all that God wanted them to be.
So, I had prayed long and hard over it, and came across the first building in Hazelwood. We were
there five years, and then the owners put it up for sale. At that point, we had grown. God had
blessed it; then we moved to Waynesville.
When we came in there, there were a lot
more people coming through, and we were
able to reach out a lot more. The ministry
had started out with nine widows, and we
would take them baskets on holidays, and
visit with them if they were in the hospital.
We tried to look after them as best we
could. And, sometimes, we were the only
people they got to see.
