The versatile artist, who is two-stepping into the Country music genre, said some of her earliest memories are from her mother Tina Knowles’ hair salon.

‘I saw her shampooing and trimming hair, transforming women, leaving them feeling really good. Looking back, it was more than just a hair appointment—it was therapy,’ the Billboard Music Award winner reminisced.

While working at the hair salon, the once introverted young women decided she wanted to pursue a different future.

‘It was in her salon that I realized my dreams of being a performer—inspired by one of her clients who happened to be an opera singer,’ she explained.

‘I was captivated by her stories of a recent trip to Germany. In awe, I distinctly remember telling my mom that I wanted to be just like her client.’

‘That’s my foundation,’ the My Power singer stated.

‘I think as an artist, so much of my bold experimentation with hair comes from being inspired by art and sculptures; getting creative with braids; figuring out new techniques; and exploring ways to maintain hair growth with protective styles and wigs, while still feeling fabulous. It all stems from my experiences growing up in my mother’s salon.’

The creative artist expounded on the way she came up with the name for her new company.

‘Allowing yourself to be taken care of, especially for Black women, who are always taking care of everyone else—it’s all sacred. So I took the end of my name, Cé, and made it the beginning of the word sacred to create Cécred.’

Beyoncé collaborated with her mother on the project. Tina, 70, learned the hair business from her own mother.

‘What an honor to be able to do something so special with my mother, and to be able to share that with the world,’ she said.

‘This is meaningful. She’s a visionary and a brilliant woman and has worked so hard on this brand alongside me.’

‘Honoring the legacy and the wisdom passed down through generations, and mixing it with science and technology, is part of this line,’ she contended.

‘It was important that we borrowed some of our past and brought it into the future.’

Tina took part in her daughter’s photo shoot, representing the journey the two have traveled together to make this next big step.

‘Hair has always been a very big part of our lives,’ Tina stated, ‘Just as fashion saved our family, hair is how we made a living.’

‘In the culture of Black folks, all the way from the beginning: If you could do some hair, you’ll never be broke,’ Tina recalled. ‘I told my kids that. My mama told me that. So it’s just our legacy, and this full-circle moment feels amazing’

Beyoncé said she was happy to honor ‘the legacy and the wisdom passed down through generations, and mixing it with science and technology. It was important that we borrowed some of our past and brought it into the future’

‘In the culture of Black folks, all the way from the beginning: If you could do some hair, you’ll never be broke,’ the proud mother recalled. ‘I told my kids that. My mama told me that. So it’s just our legacy, and this full-circle moment feels amazing.’

Beyoncé has been able to learn from some of the best hairstylists in the world, and she realizes that hair is not a one size fits all kind of thing.

‘We can wear our hair natural, straight, braids, weaves and wigs. There’s power in self-expression and in feeling free to show up as we choose, in whatever hair we choose, she said.

‘For me, joy comes from making myself a priority and making my hair a priority. It is really important for me to make time for the sacred rituals of self-care.’
