Empowering Success Through

Koil Beauty Institute

Shaunell’s passion for empowerment extends beyond construction. Through Koil Beauty Institute, she’s helping a new generation of beauty professionals turn their ambitions into thriving careers. The institute offers hands-on training and education, blending technical skills with business acumen to ensure graduates are ready for success in the competitive beauty industry.

Her message to students is clear:

“You are capable of more than you think—let’s unlock your potential together.”

Koil Beauty Institute is more than a school; it’s a launchpad for future leaders.

The Heart of Koil

A Brand Born from Resilience

Koil is more than just a haircare brand—it’s a deeply personal journey of love, loss, and triumph. Frustrated by the lack of products that worked for her hair, Shaunell began creating her own formulas. In 2019, after the heartbreaking loss of her son, King, she almost gave up on Koil. But through her grief, she found renewed purpose and strength.

The black-and-white packaging of Koil represents Shaunell’s story: the darkness of loss and the light of hope and faith that guided her forward. The teardrop in the logo is a tribute to the raw emotions behind the brand. Koil’s first collection features coconut oil-based products designed for all curl types, offering hydration, growth, and all-day definition.

Koil is Shaunell’s labor of love—a brand that celebrates resilience, love, and the beauty of every curl. Her hope is that Koil empowers others to embrace their natural beauty and live with confidence.
