Grammy-winner Beyonce worked in her mother Tina Knowles' hair salon during her younger years, and she shared that it's been a huge inspiration to her throughout her adult life.

Beyonce told Essence magazine: "My mom had a roster of amazing clients at her salon, and while the environment was therapeutic for them, it was also for me.바카라

It was the salon that made Beyonce realise her dream of being a performer.

"She found a therapist for me, during a period when I was extremely introverted and hardly spoke. It was in her salon that I realised my dreams of being a performer -- inspired by one of her clients who happened to be an opera singer,바카라 said Beyonce, who is married to rapper Jay-Z.

The 바카라˜Single Ladies바카라™ hitmaker added: "I was captivated by her stories of a recent trip to Germany. In awe, I distinctly remember telling my mom that I wanted to be just like her client."

It was those experiences that helped Beyonce in character building and sense of style, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

"So much of the fabric of who I am came from her salon. It is something that just connects to all of my senses, and it바카라™s a beautiful place to grow up,바카라 said the 42-year-old singer.

Beyonce concluded by saying: "That바카라™s my foundation -- and I think as an artist, so much of my bold experimentation with hair comes from being inspired by art and sculptures; getting creative with braids; figuring out new techniques; and exploring ways to maintain hair growth with protective styles and wigs, while still feeling fabulous. It all stems from my experiences growing up in my mother바카라™s salon."
