Beauty Stories to Beauty Solutions

In this episode of Business of the Beat, host Kendra Bracken-Ferguson sits down with Tasha Turner, founder of Wrapped Beauty, to explore a career shaped by beauty, culture, creativity, and a deep understanding of the needs of women of color. Tasha takes us through her journey in the beauty industry, from working at prestigious magazines and witnessing the evolution of beauty standards to recognizing the influence and resilience of women of color in defining what beauty looks like. She and Kendra discuss how beauty and wellness have increasingly intersected—and why understanding the consumer means understanding the full experience of how she lives, feels, and cares for herself. That experience ultimately led Tasha from telling beauty stories to creating beauty solutions. She shares the story behind Wrapped Beauty and her move into product development, including the process of designing an innovative shower cap specifically with textured hair in mind. From protecting hair against water and humidity to testing, refining, and rethinking a product until it truly solves a problem, Tasha offers an inside look at what it takes to turn an idea into something consumers actually need. The conversation also explores authenticity, innovation, entrepreneurship, and the courage to keep creating. For Tasha, building Wrapped Beauty has been more than launching a brand—it has been about trusting her experience, embracing the iterative process, and discovering a new sense of freedom in entrepreneurship. 🎧 Listen to Business of the Beat and hear how Tasha Turner turned years of beauty expertise into a brand designed to solve real problems for textured hair.
