Neal Farinah first met Beyoncé in 2005, when he was working at his salon in Brooklyn. A client asked him to do her friend’s hair for a night out and that friend turned out to be Beyoncé. From that moment, a creative partnership that would span more than two decades began. Over the years, Neal has helped create some of the looks that became part of Beyoncé’s visual history, from the Sasha Fierce era and “Why Don’t You Love Me?” to Lemonade, Black Is King, Renaissance and Cowboy Carter. He has also worked with Beyoncé across seven world tours. His work on Black Is King was especially significant. Beyoncé wanted the film’s hair to celebrate African beauty, history and culture, and Neal brought together a team of hairstylists to create the film’s many intricate looks. The team created more than 40 wigs in just six days. And Neal’s relationship with Beyoncé goes beyond simply styling her hair. He has described their creative process as a collaboration, sitting together, discussing upcoming projects, researching ideas and figuring out how the hair can become part of the story. He’s also become an important part of Beyoncé’s hair-care world. Neal is the Lead Global Stylist for Cécred, working alongside Beyoncé and Tina Knowles on the brand and testing its formulas in his professional kit. From the Drunk in Love bob to the platinum looks of Cowboy Carter, Neal has been there for more than 20 years of Beyoncé’s evolution. Not just hair history… HAIRSTORY. 🐝👑 #fyp #beyonce #hairstory #beyhive #foryoupage
