Ep. 301: Ms. Tina Knowles on Building Generational Legacies of Beauty

Ms. Tina has been infusing bold and beautiful Texas style into global pop culture for decades. Sir John and I talked to Ms. Tina about her successful career as a stylist, her beauty regimen, building Cécred, and the significance of early exposure to images of Black beauty and power. We learned how she carries her mother's lessons about honoring creativity in yourself and your children. She told us about how her decision to enter beauty school in her 30s led her to build Headliners, a successful salon that cultivated beauty in Houston’s most powerful women. Of course, we discussed how her lifelong journey to merge her interest in the aesthetics and science of haircare inspired Cécred.

Tune in as we discuss:

• Why she believes that caring for Black hair is a revolutionary act of love

• The rodeo’s influence on her family’s life through generations

• Advice to younger stylists about building strong relationships with their clients

• The beauty icons that inspired her early sense of style and beauty

• The successes and challenges her team encountered while developing Cécred
