Debra Hare-Bey Private Parlour

Check out my interview and learn a few things you may not know about me.

See how I’m not new to this — I’m true to this. The passion, purpose, and commitment behind my work didn’t happen overnight. It’s been decades of creating, educating, advocating, and helping people see the beauty in textured hair.

From creating iconic styles to building movements like International I Love Braids Day, every step has been rooted in culture, community, and Hair Wellness.

Listen. Learn. Share.

You might better understand where my passion comes from and why I continue to do this work with so much love and purpose.



Thank you, Myrdith, for your support and for helping tell my story. ❤️

Congratulations to the cast, creators, and team behind The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins on being recognized as a serious Emmy contender. What started as a breakout hit has become one of the most talked-about comedies of the season.

The laughs are real. The storytelling is sharp. The characters stay with you long after the credits roll.

If you haven’t watched it yet, what are you waiting for?

Every style I create begins the same way: it is never about following trends — it is about creating them.

For me, hair is more than a hairstyle. It is beauty, wellness, artistry, and innovation working together. Every braid, loc, twist, and textured style is designed to be uniquely beautiful while protecting the health and integrity of the hair.

This latest Boho NRAY LOCS look for is the perfect example — sophisticated, effortless, modern, and completely her. The kind of style that turns heads today and inspires what everyone wants tomorrow.

“They thought it was just hair. I knew it was a movement.”

Some people wait for permission.
Some people wait for trends.
Some people wait to see if it works.

Me?
I create what doesn’t exist yet.

My superpower is Vision + Creation.
I turn ideas into experiences.
Beauty into purpose.
Culture into movement.

And I do it in a way that heals, elevates, and leads others. ✨
