The Cécred x BeyGOOD Fund announced the first winners of its student scholarships and salon business grants. When Cécred launched in February of this year, founder Beyoncé Knowles-Carter committed to awarding an annual $500,000 through the Cécred x BeyGOOD Fund to fund cosmetology school scholarships and salon business grants across five cities chosen for their large, diverse community of hairstylists: Atlanta, Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles, and New Jersey.
The announcement of the fund’s first round of winners comes just days before National Hairstylist Day on April 30th, underscoring Knowles-Carter’s dedication to honoring the stylist community through fostering talent and supporting entrepreneurship through economic equity.
The Cécred x BeyGOOD Fund will reopen applications for student scholarships and salon business grants on Wednesday, May 1st. The application window for both opportunities closes on Monday, May 20th. Students currently enrolled in or in receipt of an acceptance letter at the aforementioned five cosmetology schools with inclusive curriculums are encouraged to apply.
Entrepreneurs who rent a booth, operate a salon, or work out of their home, and can demonstrate need due to financial hardship are encouraged to apply for a salon business grant.

In our final day of the 2024 SALON TODAY 200 Alerts, we meet 50 more honorees in Growth. These owners, including Stacey Holmes and Brandie Lohmann, owners of Steel Blade Men's Salon in Albuquerque, New Mexico, have learned to tap into new products, services and trends to build sales, while maximizing the time and talents of their team members.

In our 8th Day of the 2024 SALON TODAY 200, we meet the honorees who excelled in Salon Leadership, including Luisa G. Garcia of Soleil Salon and Spa in Windham, New Hampshire. These owners know it's a leader's responsibility to develop a vision for the people they guide, then they have to inspire their team to follow that vision.

We're on a roll! On the 7th Day of our 2024 SALON TODAY 200, we introduce you to the honorees in two categories--technology and environmental sustainability. These tech-savvy honorees leverage the latest tools to automate and streamline their processes and communications, while green-minded honorees, including April Wetzel of Sunbeam Studio in Louisville, Colorado, make strategic decisions that better the world around them.

In Day 2 of the 2024 SALON TODAY 200, we celebrate the honorees in the category of Client Retention and Referral, including Rachel and Jason Gribbin, owners of Define Hair & Skin in Ellicott City, Maryland. These owners know a salon's ability to attract new guests fuels its growth, and its ability to get those clients to return again and again dictates its overall success.

In our first day of SALON TODAY 200 announcements, we introduce you to the 2024 honorees in two categories: Philanthropy, and Retail and Merchandising. The first group, like Hi Texture Hair Salon in Lawrenceville, Georgia, search their communities for causes where their time, talent and money can enact the most positive change.
