Season 1
Ep. I - What’s At Stake?
In the premiere episode of Uncoiled, “What’s Really At Stake?”, Jameelah Evans presents a current snapshot of the Black beauty industry. The episode begins with a reflection on salon legacy and cultural history, then examines the realities of today’s evolving beauty economy. It concludes with a forward-looking discussion on what is at risk if integrity and professionalism continue to decline and what becomes possible if the industry recommits to excellence, mentorship, and stewardship.
Ep. II - Organic vs. Naturally Flavored
We speak directly to the stylist about the difference between running a salon for appearance versus running one with genuine care. Sustainable success is rooted in authentic care, not simply a polished image. Luxury isn’t how it looks; it’s how it’s felt.
Ep. I I I - Honoring Our Crowns
For as long as I've been alive, and even before, natural hair care has been about management, taming, controlling, and containing. What if this year we shifted the language to honoring? What does it look like to honor your hair? Honoring means listening to your texture instead of fighting it.
Ep. IV - Big Fish, Small Pond
In the Season One finale of Uncoiled, host Jameelah reflects on what it truly takes to build a thriving business in the Black salon industry. From starting as a mobile stylist to becoming a community leader, she shares lessons on mindset, networking, and entrepreneurship—reminding us that your zip code is not your ceiling.
