The future of beauty is textures. and the opportunity is bigger than we think 💜
At PBD Live: TEXTURES, we challenged the industry to recognize the power, influence, and opportunity within textured hair.
Because textures isn’t a niche. It’s a major part of the market, and the professionals who understand it have the power to shape what’s next.
The conversation doesn’t stop here Pekela Riley
What does the future of textured hair look like to you? 👇🏾
There’s enough pie for all of us 🥧💜
The beauty industry doesn’t move forward by gatekeeping. It moves forward when we share knowledge, create opportunities, and make room for the next professional.
At PBD Live: TEXTURES, Stacy Gray reminded us why community will always be bigger than competition.
Because when one of us grows, we all have room to grow.
what’s one thing you wish someone had shared with you earlier in your career? 👇🏾

Unapologetically centered on the artistry.
Our hair wasn’t the side attraction. It was the main event.
The artists trusted the vision, created live, took risks and showed the room what was possible.
This was their stage.

To everyone who was in the room to experience this first TEXTURES chapter with us, thank you.
A room full of texture professionals seeing what’s possible.
Twenty years means remembering the people who helped move this industry forward.
Some moments are about giving flowers 💐

ARTISTRY IS THE HEART OF TEXTURES. Joie Wallace
Every artist has a story. A perspective. A creative voice that deserves to be seen.
TEXTURES was created to give that artistry a stage… a space where creativity is celebrated, education is experienced differently, and professionals are inspired to see beyond what’s familiar.
When you bring incredible minds into one room, you don’t just witness beautiful work. You experience what’s possible.
This is the vision behind PBD LIVE.
Artistry. Education. Community.
And we’re only getting started. 💜
THE COMMUNITY CAME FROM EVERYWHERE. 💜
Different cities. Different journeys. One shared love for the industry that brought us together.
From Atlanta to across the country and beyond, beauty professionals made their way to TEXTURES…not just for a show, but for the artistry, the education, the conversations, and the community.
Some came to reconnect. Some came to be inspired. Others came to experience PBD LIVE for the very first time.
And hearing you share where you came from, what brought you here, and what this experience meant to you reminded us exactly why we created this room.
Thank you for choosing to experience this first chapter of TEXTURES with us.
You are the reason we continue to build.
One industry. Countless stories. One room.
