The Curl Code

Curls and coils don’t need to be tamed—they need to be understood.

The Curl Code is a two-day KEUNE Academy experience for stylists ready to master Type 3 and 4 textures with skill, respect, and health at the center of every decision. This is cutting, color, and finishing built specifically for curls and coils—so every client leaves with a look that celebrates their natural pattern instead of fighting it.

Eli Mancha and Aliya Harris prove that texture, color, and health are never separate conversations—every cut, formula, and finish built to protect the integrity of the curl. Watch them do it first. Then it’s your turn to do it yourself, start to finish.

Day 1 belongs to Eli and Aliya. Watch live model transformations across Type 3 and 4 textures—curl-pattern-informed cutting, color placement that protects curl health, and finishing that defines without disrupting. See exactly how cut, color, and health-first technique work together. 

Day 2 it’s your turn. You’ll take your mannequin through a complete cut, color, and finish transformation—start to finish—under trainer guidance, building the confidence to deliver healthy, definition-first results for every curl and coil pattern that sits in your chair.

Why You Should Attend:

• Master curl-pattern analysis and cutting strategy for Type 3 and 4 textures
• Learn color placement and formulation techniques that protect curl health
• Watch Eli and Aliya execute live model cut, color, and finish transformations, start to finish
• Execute your own complete cut-color-finish mannequin transformation, start to finish, under trainer guidance
• Build a health-first system for textured hair that clients will trust and return for

Walk away with the technique, the formulas, and the respect for texture that makes curls and coils your most confident service. You’re not just cutting and coloring curls—you’re cracking the code.
