My name is Jade Jemison—I’m a licensed cosmetologist, natural and textured hair specialist with over 10 years of experience, certified organic product formulator, educator, and founder of B’yond Strands. Where we gobeyond just the strands, getting to the root of the matter...which is you!
























My WHY!:
I’m deeply inspired by the mission of THE TEXTURE OF CHANGE™ and would be honored to contribute to this transformative movement. At B’yond Strands, our mission goes deeper than the surface. We are committed to educating and empowering individuals through clean, nutrient-rich ingredients that not only enhance the look of the hair but also support long-term wellness. This philosophy aligns seamlessly with your vision of creating a more inclusive and informed beauty industry.
With a decade of hands-on experience specializing in natural and textured hair, and a dedication to education, I am passionate about advancing texture-inclusive practices in salons and schools alike. The Texture Education Collective’s advocacy for state board reform and inclusive curriculum reflects the change our industry urgently needs—and I would be proud to help amplify that work.
Joining your team as a THE TEXTURE OF CHANGE™ Ambassador would be a meaningful step in my journey to elevate texture education, expand access, and ensure every client feels seen, understood, and beautifully served—regardless of hair type.
Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to the opportunity to help shape a more equitable future in professional beauty.
