NU Standard® Salutes Black Beauty Innovators With Black Beauty Effect Film Screening and Dallas Salon Takeover

DALLAS, Feb. 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- This Black History Month, NU Standard will commemorate the monumental contributions of Black beauty icons with a two-day celebration. The tribute begins with a VIP screening of Netflix's "The Black Beauty Effect" at Violet Crown Cinema on February 15, 2024, and continues thereafter with NU Standard's Hydrasilk Salon Takeover at The Meke Stephens Salon on February 16, 2024.

In honor of the legendary Comer Cottrell, Jr. (founder of Pro-Line International) — whose innovations historically transformed the hair and beauty industry for the black community — NU Standard has curated a Film Night experience spotlighting "The Crown Effect" episode from "The Black Beauty Effect" series, followed by a live Q&A panel. The discussion will offer a deep dive into the series' production and explore the significant influence of Black beauty standards on both culture and society.

The panel will feature esteemed panelists: Andrea Lewis (creator of "The Black Beauty Effect"); CJ Faison, (producer of "The Black Beauty Effect"); and two emerging leaders in the beauty industry, Keya Neal (prominent DEI educator featured in HBO's "Not So Pretty," and Founder of the national movement Texture vs. Race); and Autumn Yarbrough (CEO and Founder of NU Standard).
