Angel Carr is the youngest of eight children, who grew up in a small
town in the northwestern part of Texas . Growing up in
 the
70's in a town which was predominately white was not easy
nevertheless being the youngest girl of the family. Watching and
learning from her sisters not only gave her a false sense of who she
was, but limited her ability to see the woman that she was
predestined to be. Angel remembers not only being one of two black
girls in class every year, but she also never had a teacher or
anyone in authority she was able to be mentored by could be looked
up to as a role model. She was never able to identify with the
princesses in fairytale books, magazines or the women on television
commercials except on Saturdays when Soul Train was aired. Even as a
young girl, she knew there had to be more to life than what she saw.
Angel spent countless years searching for her identity and her
purpose. The road was long, but worth the travel.
After graduation from high school, still undecided about life, Angel
opted to go to a junior college in Fort Worth, Texas to stay near
her parents and family. Taking on the roles of a wife and a mother
at the age of 19 did not help the search. Encouraged by her father,
Angel decided to attend barber school and received her Class “A”
Barber's license in January of 1995. Still unsure about her own
beauty, Angel was the “master” at making others look and feel
beautiful. Angel was blessed to have a glimpse of what her calling
was many years ago while watching a basketball game at a
poverty-level school which she thought was condemned due to the
condition. To her surprise, school was held there everyday. Just
looking around the school at the girls and boys pricked her heart to
one day use her gifts for such girls, but there was individual
growing she had to endure of her own.
It wasn't until the alarm clock in Angel's life went off that she
was blessed to see herself in the light and beauty that God had made
her. She began rehearsing to herself, “I am wonderfully and
fearfully made; I was made in His image; I see myself the way God
sees me” because people see you the way you see yourself. Since
then, she has walked into a whole new life. Angel has had the
opportunity to work with some of the most prestigious freelance
makeup artists around North Texas, such as artists from Chanel and
Mac. Angel has been a consultant for makeup companies known around
the world for more than 15 years. She has served the community
offering her services on a voluntary basis because of her love and
desire to bring out the natural beauty in everyone regardless of
their financial status. Angel has used her gifts of makeup and hair
artistry talent to minister to many in need. She works with and
teaches the youth and young adult dancers at her church where she is
an active member. She is a cheerleading coach for a well-known local
youth association in Fort Worth, Texas where she enjoys being in a
position to “give back.” Angel has a passion for young people, not
limited to young girls, teens and women, but all people. Self esteem
is a valuable makeup of our entity and Angel believes every person
should possess a healthy one. Building self esteem is her most
passion-geared project. Angel is all too familiar with unreleased
childhood pain and secrets that can rob one from getting to know who
they really are prematurely. She is also aware of the dangerous
roots that could sprout from those unreleased thoughts that hold us
captive and hide our true beauty.
Always being complimented on her own unique style of fashion and
design, Angel finally implemented her ability to design/redesign
clothing and create jewelry. Angel has the registered name of Curvy
Cowgirl for her clothing and jewelry due to finally being proud of
her curves instead of hiding them and celebrating her country-girl
roots as a cowgirl. Angel believes outward beauty is overrated and
that society gets so caught up with the outer appearance that the
inward appearance suffers.
