The meaning behind the crown

Founded in Abilene · 2024

A family legacy. A foundation of faith.

Michael Reynosa grew up in a barbershop, following in the footsteps of his grandfather, Ramon Aguirre.

Before concrete was poured, the shop was prayed over—that Jesus Christ would be its foundation, “The Rock.” Crown of Thorns was created as a Christian-oriented place where great service, testimony, fellowship, and prayer could live under one roof.

Come as you are.All are welcome in this chair.

The foundation

Not built on image.
Built on the Rock.

Before a chair was filled or a clipper was lifted, Jesus Christ was invited to be the foundation of this shop. His example shapes the way we work: with humility, excellence, and love for the person in front of us.

John 14:6“I am the way and the truth and the life.”

“As iron sharpens iron,
so one person sharpens another.”

It’s definitely more than a haircut.
