Tristan Walker, CEO of Bevel, Shares the Importance of Creating Grooming Products for Black Men

The multi-billion dollar beauty industry has neglected the needs of Black and Brown men for a very long time. For many years, I’ve had to go to the ethnic section of the aisle, which is normally composed of a few shelves that have minimum products to help with my grooming needs. Finally, in 2013, Bevel was created and changed the grooming industry for men of color forever. A Walker & Company, Bevel makes products for distinctive skin tones as well as products for curly and coarse hair. Gaining a lot of popularity for their electric trimmers and celebrity stamps of approval from the likes of Nas and Shaq, Bevel is well on its way to being a household name, especially with the recent introduction of their latest products that provide head-to-toe care for Black men.

Tristan Walker, the CEO of Walker & Company, is the Black man behind this innovative enterprise and we recently had the opportunity to speak with him in Atlanta. He started the brand because “he thought we [Black men] deserved better, especially when it came down to our grooming products and hair care products.” From not knowing how to shave the right way, he thought that it was a “right of passage that we all deserved to learn and we needed a brand to teach us how to do that.” Although Tristan is not a chemist, he did the work to find someone who could make the products for free. After about six samples of all of their products, he found the products that worked.
