Volume, documented
The manifesto
BIG HAIR IS THE POINT.
Zuri opened Big Coil Energy because every salon she worked in tried to make curly hair smaller, smoother, quieter. Here we go the other way: shape cuts that maximize volume, color that turns heads, styles with real height.
Every stylist is trained on every curl pattern. Nobody in this building will ever reach for a flat iron without asking first.

Zuri cut my 4C hair to grow UP instead of out. I have never felt more like myself.
Purple curls by Paloma. Healthy, bouncy, and visible from space.
They asked before touching a flat iron. That’s the bar and nobody else clears it.
Keke’s braids didn’t hurt AT ALL. I took a nap. In a braiding chair.
Andre gave me a taper that makes my curls look intentional and tall. 10/10.
