Community Highlights: Meet Demarion Young of Oils for your Coils

Today we’d like to introduce you to Demarion Young.

Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
I graduated from Florida State University with a degree in Hospitality and Business. I have always had a passion for working with people. I worked in the luxury hotels industry for 10 years in the Food & Beverage department and then transitioned into Executive Administration. That leads me into the high-end interior design world.

During that time, I started my hair care line Oils for your Coils in 2016 when I decided to go natural. My goal was to educate women on how to maintain healthy hair using natural ingredients. Also, I rediscovered my love for Real Estate and decided to become a licensed Realtor. Today, I am a proud Business Owner, Mother, and Realtor.

Appreciate you sharing that. What should we know about Oils for your Coils?
Oils for your Coils started in 2016. I was not finding any product that helped maintain my hair’s moisture. After doing research, I created our first product, the Hair & Body oil that helped keep my hair hydrated, soothes itchy scalp and skin, has antibacterial agents, and promotes hair growth.

I then launched Oils for your Coils to the public in June 2019. Since then, we now have 5 other products. Growth Oil, hair moisturizer, herbal hair tea, and mango & oatmeal leave in conditioner. We have gone to countless pop-up shops and expos nationwide and are in stores around the South Florida area.

I am most proud of all the positive feedback I receive from customers. My passion is helping people so to hear our products are working is the best news. If I continue to our brand, we will be in stores nationwide. You can also find our products online at www.oilsforyourcoils.com

We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
It has not by any means been a smooth road. When I first started creating this product, I had no intentions on creating a brand, it was just a product I was making for my family. With success in everything, you have to be consistent and understand that it will not be an overnight hit in most cases. I started this business by myself so I do everything from making the product, advertising, sales, financials which can get overwhelming at times. I found that encouraging myself to keep going and constantly analyzing where I started makes it all worth it.

Any big plans?

We just attended the Invest Festival 2022 in Atlanta. We are currently prepping for more expos, looking for investors, and business to business relationships.

My plans for the future is to get in stores nationwide and continue working on new products for Oils for your Coils. Also, being a Realtor at Grant & Associates, I strive to continue to provide exceptional service to my clients, whether it’s finding their dream home, rental property, or an investment. I will leave a legacy for my family and continue to be the best me.

Ultimately, I believe my purpose is to pursue my passion in giving back to others. The more you give, the more you receive.
