Benite Corion is the owner of Braids by Bee inc. and has been serving the greatest South Florida areas since 2011.  In 2018 we traveled to many states to provide services which makes us today  a global company.  Benite Corion was raise and born in Brooklyn, NY had a rough life.  However, thru many struggles was able to appreciate her talent learned at an early age.  Braiding Hair for years as a youth was an outlet for Benite growing up always had a purpose and way to serve one.  Never did I think I would own my salon and become a trendsetter in the beauty industry.  Since the age of 12 I would give out handmade business car​ds to students in my school and charge the boys and girls to do their hair.  I was about making money at an early age.   Although thru years I have attempted other business ventures I always came back to my true love doing hair.  In early 2011, it was hard to get a job and I decided to start doing hair full time.  I worked at home for 2 years gaining experience and clients.  

​

Many don't realize that my techniques and relevant services to those who have natural dreadlocks became a hit to many clients who needed this but didn't know what can be done.  I also discovered what clients needed by the many different request clients would send me. 

Growing up I started my Cousins Dreadlocks and my Ex-Boyfriend dreadlocks.  I realize they both had different textures of hair and would not Lock up the same way.  I discovered there was many different methods in starting one's dreadlocks as well as different options for people with different texture hair.  But most of all What I have learned is that Natural human hair goes thru states of wear and tear as well.  Starting my Ex- Boyfriend hair his texture being a 4c was easier to start and his dreads matured within 6-9 months with comb twist method then eventually palm roll maintenance.  But my Cousins hair we started his locs over 3 times before we realize none of the standard methods was going to work.  My Cousin has 3C Texture hair and it was not responding well to the standard dreadlock wax sold n store, was not taking the aloe products, was not  taking to any methods or techniques and products.  This frustrated us, but he would not give up.  I then tried again the 4th time and this time we wrapped his locs with string to form his locs I sewed the string around each loc till they became matured Locs.  Thru the months of doing maintenance I would pull the Strings out.   Ok finally my Cousin has Dreadlocks.  Ok, so long story short my Cousin was a person who wanted very neat locs.  He concisely kept me on my toes by noticing any flaws and would want me to do something about it.  He really forced me to think outside the box and me wanting my Cousin to be happy with his locs I would think about what can be done.  

​

I would often laugh back then at my cousin who would come to me and complain about his hair falling out or ripping apart and he wanted it fix.  He would not take NO for an answer he was determined to have his hair put back in.  Now this was shocking to me because not only is he a man, but he had so much more hair that he really would not be missing anything.  But the point was he was attached to his hair, and he wanted it back.  I realize many others needed this type of help and started to advertise it first on YouTube.  This made me go viral and since then have been a global stylist.  

I must admit today 30 years later I have encountered many customers with many different issues.  Clients from all around the world have today visited our salon with multiple issues that we solve today those who suffer with hair loss or had pre-existing hair loss issues.  Benite Beauty salon is the first of its kind to cater to those who are looking for this specialty type hair services. 

​

In 2018 My first salon was downsized, and I started over and moved to a salon suite from a retail salon.  I moved to be able to travel more and provide services internationally.  Since relocating and rebranding our services and product line, we have been expanding our business and also have been part of small business advocacy and Meta groups to offer more opportunities to our community.  

​

At this time Braids by Bee inc. is expanding and will be taking appointments in Fort Lauderdale, FL and Norfolk, VA at this time we only have two locations.  As of 3 years ago we started a new department that allows one to donate their dreadlocks when they cut hair.  We again are the first to create a space where one can donate and hair can be recycled , repaired and prepared for somene else's use.   Benite continues to gown an expand brand not only by still providing sevices by creating travel tours but also by creating more products for her type of clientele.   We are also in the process of working with local state and counties to offer classes online .  We will be bidding on contracts and applying for grants to build our brand which you will be included because we will need your help to spread the word and support in any ways you can.  Stay tuned for more coming from Benite Corion the owner of Braids by Bee inc. and  InstantLoc Dread Extensions.
