Naked Beauty Brooke DeVard

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 loveThe rodeo’s influence on her family’s life through generationsAdvice to younger stylists about building strong relationships with their clientsThe beauty icons that inspired her early sense of style and beautyThe successes and challenges her team encountered while developing Cécred

It is almost time for the most iconic Monday of the year, the Met Gala. This week I spoke with several talented people in the beauty industry about their Met Gala prep, red carpet predictions, and what happens behind the scenes to make the magical event happen.

Chloe Malle and Kristie Dash discussed how social media has reshaped our access to the event and the celebrities who attend.
