Curls, Coils & Cashflow 2026 · Sunday 25 October · STĀ Studios, London
£4.8 billion a year flows through Black hair and beauty in the UK. The stylists and founders behind that spend are earning £15–20k for sixty-hour weeks.
That gap isn’t talent, and it isn’t demand. It’s business knowledge (pricing, tax, contracts, margin, marketing), and nobody is teaching it to independent textured hair professionals. Cashflow exists to close it.
What the day is
One day of practical business education for textured hair stylists and founders. Every session answers a commercial question: what you earn, what you charge, what you keep and how you protect it.
- Building wealth in textured hair: keynote panel
- Money masterclass: read your real P&L, with a take-home worksheet
- Get certified, get protected: licensing, law and IP
- Marketing and social media growth
- Scalp and trichology, and why that skill earns stylists more
- The future of textured hair education: industry panel
- Closing Ask Me Anything
- Brands to Watch: up to five independent, founder-led brands given a marketplace space at no cost to them
Why we’re asking
Curls, Coils & CIC is a Community Interest Company. We hold an asset lock, and every surplus goes back into the community. We keep tickets at £20–30 so stylists can afford to be in the room, but the real cost of putting on the day is around £60 a head. Partners including Planoly, EasyDry and Tootilab are already investing. We’re raising £2,500 to close the gap before 25 October.
What your investment does
- £25 matches one ticket
- £60 covers the real cost of one stylist’s place in the room
- £250 covers ten
