Meet Terri Akan /
Leeds, England
@curlsinc
With a passion rooted in personal experience, Terri began her journey into curly hairdressing to learn how to care for her children’s textured hair. Inspiring a passion for educating others on waves, curls, coils, and kinks. After years of training and refining her expertise, she opened Curls Inc in 2023, a curl-specialist salon in North Leeds offering precision cuts, expert styling, and curated routines for natural hair.
Terri is known for her personalised, education-led approach and her commitment to empowering clients to embrace their authentic selves through simple, achievable routines that celebrate natural beauty.
The realisation that so many people with textured hair were underserved, misunderstood, or given limiting advice pushed Terri to take the leap and open a salon where natural hair is celebrated.
Through her research and commitment to finding healthier, more ethical options for textured hair, Terri discovered Organic Colour Systems. Since then, she has become not only a valued salon partner, but also an educator and advocate for empowering clients to embrace their authentic selves.
