TEYANA TAYLOR ANNOUNCES THE CLOSING OF HER HARLEM NAIL SALON: Teyana Taylor announced via Instagram that her Harlem Nail salon Junie Bee nails will be closing. She said, “It saddens me to announce that Junie Bee Nails will not be returning to this location. Junie Bees strives to excel as a black owned business and now its time to OWN A BLOCK! As a culture it’s imperative to expand our business standards to completely OWN the establishment that we operate out of!” She continued, “From the beginning of our journey we were second guessed and they attempted to minimize the success of a BLACKED OWNED BUSINESS. We’ve endured less than equal treatment as an occupant but we stood strong amongst the opposition! Junie Bee’s success has put us in a position of OWNERSHIP!!!” She added, 'Thanks to all of our wonderful staff who has aided into our success!! We will be providing a BIGGER and better atmosphere that will support all of your needs!! During this time we’re embracing the movement as BLACK LIVES MATTER & BLACK BUSINESSES!! We will no longer be renting.” Taylor opened Junie Bee Nails back in 2018. (Madamenoire)
