Empowering the Beauty Community: The Cécred x BeyGOOD Fund

CÉCRED X BEYGOOD FUND

Hairstylists hold a significant influence over their clients, cultivating a unique environment where individuals can freely express their identity through their hairstyles. We are proud to contribute to this remarkable community.

Cécred™ x BeyGOOD Fund

Supporting talent development, enhancing professionalism, and encouraging entrepreneurship within the hair industry are core values for us. This commitment has led to our collaboration with Cécred to launch the Cécred x BeyGOOD Fund, which acknowledges the vital role that professional stylists play in promoting hair health and the importance of advocating for the salon community. Annually, the fund will allocate $500,000 for scholarships to cosmetology schools and grants for salon businesses in five cities recognized for their vibrant and diverse communities of hairstylists: Atlanta, Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles, and New Jersey.
