The world was first introduced to Houston native Serena Page on Season 6 of Love Island USA, where her radiant authenticity, effortless charm and quick-witted ease quickly set her apart. With a presence that felt both fresh and familiar, Page captivated audiences—not just with her onscreen journey, but with a natural allure that translated far beyond the villa. From forming unshakable bonds and finding love with fellow contestant Kordell Beckham to ultimately taking home the win, the reality star's path felt less like a competition and more like the emergence of a star. Now, as the current season of Love Island: Beyond the Villa airs, Page has a devoted following and a built-in platform—one where beauty, style and substance lead the way.
How does it feel right now to have all this success and popularity?
It's definitely crazy! All of it was very unexpected. While we're in the villa, it's very much closed off from the world. You don't really know what's about to happen. It's honestly amazing. I think the best part is how unexpected it was. It's like, some of the products that you've used for such a long time and now you're in some type of partnership with them. It's definitely crazy, but super amazing.
What was the biggest "moment" for you? You're being asked to do runway shows, events, brand collabs. What was the one thing that one that made you say: 'I cannot believe I get to do this?'"
It was definitely fresh out the villa...I was still partially confused as to what was going on. But, 100 percent going to the Cécred Salon. That was such an amazing experience. I've loved Beyoncé for as long as I can remember, and I love hair as well. For her hair-care brand to reach out and really want to get me in that salon was amazing.
The word on the street is that you are thinking about coming out with your own hair line. Is that something in the works?
Yes, 100 percent. I feel like I'm such a perfectionist. Building something from the ground up, it really takes a lot of work and a lot of time. I would hate to just put something out there that, it's just like, 'Oh, I just wanted to put this out there!' You know, the money grab.
I've always had such a passion for hair and managing my natural hair because I went natural in high school., I've tried so many different products, so many different things to see what works best for my hair. It's really like you really have to go through the motion of trying a bunch of different things to see what works out for you. That's where I am now. I want to put out the best thing that'll help anyone in the beginning stages of their natural hair care stage or in the middle, or even their development has been natural for 10-plus years, I still want the product to be just as useful.
Are there any brands besides Beyoncé's that you think are really doing it right in the space, either with skin care or hair care?
I have a lot of different partnerships with different hair and skin care. I think there's really not a particular recipe on how to do it right, because there's so many different audiences. There's so many different target points. Speaking from my experience, I love Neutrogena because they're very light. I love CeraVe. They're very light. I don't like a lot of product on my face when it comes to skincare. Anything that can go on smoothly, not irritate my skin, lightweight products.
Definitely. As far as the rest of your summer, what else are you looking forward to either professionally or personally?
I'm just taking it a day, a week, a month at a time. I'm so big on trying different things and living life to the fullest and not wasting opportunities that come. I definitely want to have a vacation. I love to travel, especially for leisure, but a lot of it is for work. Definitely have some vacations under my belt that I have to do for fun and some projects that are upcoming that are super, super fun. I'm working on just toning things down a little so I can zone in more on my hair-care line, because that will require a lot of time and focus to do it correctly.
