APPLY NOW: Beyoncé Launches $500k Grants for Cosmetology Schools and Salons


Yesterday, following the launch of her highly anticipated hair care line, Cécred, Beyoncé announced a new financing opportunity available for the cosmetology world.  Cécred x BeyGOOD have partnered to fund $500,000 towards cosmetology school scholarships and salon business grants.  The Cécred x BeyGOOD Fund aims to celebrate the influence professional stylists have on hair health and the critical importance of advocating for the salon community.


Products officially became available worldwide on the Cécred website consisting of shampoo, conditioners, treatments, tools, accessories, and more.  The site, also, offers a hair quiz for consumers to determine which product would provide the best health care for their hair type.  

 Fostering talent, promoting professionalism, and supporting entrepreneurship within the hair industry is deeply important to us. 

Five specific cities were selected as scholarship and grant recipients for their largely diverse community of hair stylists.  Here are the details and how you can apply...
