"For entrepreneurs Keonna Davis and Kayla Davis, the last 72 hours have been a whirlwind. And it’s well-deserved. The Davis sisters, at the ages of 21 and 19 respectively, are the youngest people ever to own a beauty-supply store in California and have received a ton of media attention for their endeavor.

KD Haircare Supply, located in Moreno Valley, Calif., offers a range of hair supplies, from bulk weaving hair to natural-hair products. In an industry that’s dominated by Asians, the Davis sisters hope to change it one store at a time.

In an email interview with The Root, Keonna and Kayla discussed their plans and some of the obstacles they have faced. (The interview has been lightly edited for clarity.)

The Root: When did you decide you wanted to open a beauty-supply store?

KD Haircare Supply: The day we decided to open a beauty-supply [store] was when we were out looking for jobs nonstop and couldn’t find a job. So in the summer of 2014, our mother ... told us to “stop begging for a job and get your own business started”—aka “be your own boss.”

TR: What steps did you take in making it happen?

KDHS: The steps we took were planning, researching and networking. It took a lot of time and patience, but it’s worth the hard work.

TR: How supportive has the community been?

KDHS: The community has been extremely supportive. It’s like we’ve gained another family! Everyone we’ve [come] across has been very proud of us and inspired by us. Overall, we are very grateful."
