Curls Disrupted

Hey Curl Pros! Welcome to our little corner of this podcast world where facts are favored over opinions and food goes in our bellies. We are Aeleise (left) and Aishia (right), founders of Cut It Kinky + Black Girl Curls, licensed practicing natural hair stylists, brand agnostic curl educators, moms to tiny humans, upsetters of the Internet, and just your overall snarky aunties who really know our 'ish. Curls Disrupted was started because mainstream beauty outlets weren’t teaching relevant or accurate to the women that look just like us. Women who spend thousands of dollars yearly and still unsatisfied with their natural texture and the services and products marketed to them. We just want to give DOPE A** hair to natural hair wearers and set a quality standard for professional curl services and service providers. Join us as we disrupt the curl paradigm.

    Pivot

    We were hype for 2020, then Corona came along and the entire industry has had to rethink how we work and who we work with. This is a new normal because we get to decide for ourselves what normal is. Normal doesn't mean being exhausted, resentful, exploitative. We chat about designing business that revolve around how we want to live, not around how the industry has always operated.

    Building An Inclusive Curl Business

    This conversation is about the the tight curl experience in salon and what you can do to craft a more vinculsieve curl business. Why is this topic near and dear to us? For the last 4 years we have been engaging digitally with thousands of tight curl folks around the globe in our #30DHD and Black curl magic programs. As those participants worked through our content they wanted to find curl artists near them to have their serviced. We started recommending curl artists we knew and knew about through our professional networks. The result was less than stellar. Most of the stylists we've encountered that specialize in curly hair are not black, do not have tight curls, and don't have experience working with tight curls. Which often means there is no reference point for a service standard that includes tight curls in their business. This is what we are here to address today. 1. Timing 2. Pricing 3. Service methods 4. Product selection 5. Aesthetic

    The Texture Ghetto

    Where the beauty industry attempts to segregate and category black stylists It’s insulting to our talent and a lazy attempt at diversity. Black stylists are cutting specialists, color geniuses, curl artists, natural hair gurus, chemical +thermal rearranging experts, pioneering educators, and far more than token representation. The beauty industry is currently being pushed into a place that is long overdue. The industry as a whole has a responsibility to recognize the full depth and breadth of the talent + contributions of black stylists. Pay black educators Pay texture educators Travel for texture education Prioritize texture education
