Today, Beyonce made Brooklyn more beauty-full.

At a ribbon cutting ceremony attended by New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, the 28-year-old singer unveiled the Beyonce Cosmetology Center at the Phoenix House in Brooklyn, New York.

The center will offer a residential substance abuse treatment program that will teach women and men how to prepare for a career in cosmetology.

This isn't the first time Beyonce has worked with Pheonix House. According to Forbes, she donated her salary from her film Cadillac Records -- in which she played Etta James who struggled with drug addiction in the past -- to the organization.

Beyonce's been busy of late. She just launched her signature fragrance last month with a star-studded gala in New York City.

Hats off to this beauty icon who's prettying the world with more than just her face.

That just makes me want to give Beyonce a great big hug! I have been in the cosmetology school industry for almost a decade and it is always so rewarding to me when of our students graduate and start a new prosperous career - but especially when they have surmounted enormous obstacles like the individuals Beyonce is reaching out to with this Cosmetology Rehabilitation Center. What a GREAT idea! A wonderful resource to help the graduates of cosmetology school prepare for the cosmetology board exam is the following website: http://www.onlinecosmetologyexam.com
