Let’s talk about NOT FINISHING WHAT YOU START. 👀

How many times have you told yourself you were going to learn a new skill, invest in your education, or finally take your business to the next level… just to stop halfway through?

Listen, you can’t expect different results if you keep abandoning the very things that could help you grow. Being talented is one thing, but being disciplined enough to learn, apply, and stay consistent is what separates you from the rest.

As a stylist, your growth doesn’t stop once you learn the basics. There’s always room to improve your technique, understand your craft on a deeper level, and become more confident in the services you provide.

That’s exactly why I created my online course. To share the knowledge, experience, and lessons I’ve gained from years in this industry so you can apply them to your own journey. 🙌🏾

But let me be clear: ENROLLING IS THE FIRST STEP. FINISHING IS WHERE THE GROWTH HAPPENS.

Stop collecting courses you never finish. Stop talking yourself out of opportunities to grow. Invest in yourself, show up for yourself, and put what you learn into practice.

If you’ve been thinking about enrolling in my online course, this is your sign to stop putting it off and START! And when you do, commit to seeing it through. 💻✨

STOP being scared to charge your worth! 👏🏾

Your prices shouldn’t just be based on what everybody else around you is charging.

You have to consider your experience, education, skill level, time, products, overhead, demand, and the VALUE you’re providing to your clients.

And charging your worth also means making sure the EXPERIENCE matches the price. 🔥

Are you professional?
Are you consistent?
Is your work clean?
Are you knowledgeable about the hair and scalp?
Are you providing an experience that makes your clients want to come back?

I had to learn that being booked and busy doesn’t always mean you’re being profitable. If you’re constantly working but still feel like you’re not making enough, it may be time to look at your pricing.

You can be an amazing stylist and still be undercharging.

Inside my Mastering the Art of Locs Online Course, I don’t just teach you how to do locs. I teach you about the BUSINESS behind being a successful loctician too. 💰

Learn the skill. Understand your value. Build your business. Charge accordingly.

MENTEE SPOTLIGHT ✨ Meet Semajae! 🤎

One thing about Semajae, she is going to INVEST in her education! 👏🏾

She has actively taken my courses both in person and online, and one thing I’ve always admired about her is her dedication to continuously expanding her knowledge.

She doesn’t just want to know how to do hair. She wants to understand healthy hair care, natural loose hair, growth, maintenance, and the WHY behind what she’s doing. 🙌🏾

And that’s what makes her so versatile!

Semajae is the type of stylist who can work with multiple hair types and textures because she continues to educate herself instead of putting herself in one box. From natural loose hair to locs, she’s constantly adding more knowledge and techniques to her skill set.

As her mentor, it’s been beautiful watching her continue to show up, learn, practice, and GROW. 🥹🤎

This is exactly what I want for everyone who takes one of my courses. Don’t just take the information and move on. Apply it. Practice it. Ask questions. Keep learning.

There is ALWAYS another level to your craft.

So proud of you, Semajae! Keep going! 👏🏾🤎

If you’re ready to expand your knowledge, strengthen your skills, and become more confident behind the chair, my Mastering the Art of Locs online course is available now!

READ CAPTION ⬇️‼️‼️‼️

Healthy locs don’t start with a retwist… they start with a healthy scalp. 👏🏾

As locticians, we can shampoo, moisturize, oil and maintain the hair, but we also have to understand that scalp and hair health can be influenced by what’s happening inside the body too.

Are you drinking enough water? 💧
Are you eating a balanced, nutrient-rich diet?
Are you getting the vitamins and minerals your body actually needs?
Are you paying attention when your scalp is showing you that something may be off?

Products can help support the scalp, but they aren’t the entire answer.

And as professionals, our job isn’t to diagnose our clients. It’s to recognize when something may be outside of our scope and know when to recommend that they speak with a dermatologist or healthcare professional.

This is why I believe learning scalp health is just as important as learning how to do a beautiful retwist. You have to understand the foundation you’re working with.

I break down scalp care, loc maintenance, techniques, business and so much more inside my Mastering the Art of Locs Online Course. 🤎

Today I’m celebrating Sheretha Snead! 🥰✨

Sheretha is passionate about hair and skincare, but what really stands out is her heart for creating products that serve a purpose.

Her recent product, Baby Bum Balm, was created with little ones in mind, focusing on helping provide relief for babies experiencing dry and irritated skin. 🧴👶🏾💛

As an entrepreneur, creating a product is one thing. Creating something that comes from a genuine desire to help others is another.

I’m so proud to watch Sheretha continue to learn, create, and build her brand. This is what happens when you combine passion, education, and purpose. ✨

Keep going, Sheretha! Your ideas deserve to be seen, your gifts deserve to be shared, and your business deserves to grow! ❤️

One mistake I see way too often is forcing new parts every time you retwist. 👀

Your client’s locs already have a foundation. Your job isn’t to create a brand new part every appointment, it’s to clarify the foundation that’s already there.

This is where the comb-away method comes in. Instead of forcing the comb through and creating a new section, use your comb to gently separate and comb away the loose hairs that don’t belong in that loc. This helps you reveal the existing part and maintain the integrity of the original foundation.

Constantly creating new parts can cause you to pull hair from neighboring locs, change the size of the sections, and throw off the foundation over time.

Work WITH the foundation, not against it. 👏🏾

It’s little techniques like this that can completely change the quality of your work.

I go deeper into proper parting, sectioning, maintenance, technique, scalp health and so much more inside my Mastering the Art of Locs Online Course.

💐 @joyousesthetics is a Master Loctician, Esthetician, and Nail Tech who truly represents what it means to be a lifelong learner.

She does AMAZING work, but what inspires me most is that she never lets being great at what she does stop her from learning more. She continues to invest in her education, expand her knowledge, and elevate her craft. 👏🏾

That mindset will always set you apart.

As a stylist and entrepreneur, there is ALWAYS another level to reach, another technique to master, and more knowledge to gain.

Kacie, keep learning. Keep creating. Keep elevating. Your dedication to your craft is inspiring! ❤️

I’m so proud to have you as part of my mentorship family! 🫂✨ by @touchedbytyra21

😭🚨 5 Mistakes New Locticians Make — Part 1: USING TOO MUCH D*MN PRODUCT

One of the biggest mistakes I see new locticians make is thinking more product = a cleaner, longer-lasting retwist.

It doesn’t!

Using too much gel, wax, mousse, or heavy products can cause buildup inside and around the loc. And because locs are compact, that buildup isn’t always easy to completely wash out.

Over time, you can end up with locs that feel heavy, look dull, collect lint, or have visible residue.

Your product should assist your technique — not replace it.

A clean retwist comes from proper sectioning, tension, technique, and knowing which products actually belong on the hair and scalp.

And this is exactly why I created Mastering the Art of Locs.

I’m not just teaching you how to make locs LOOK good. I’m teaching you how to understand loc maintenance, scalp health, proper techniques, client care AND the business behind becoming a successful loctician.

If you’re serious about becoming more confident behind the chair, it’s time to stop guessing.

I wish I had THIS when I first started doing hair. 😭

In the beginning of my career, I had the passion, but I didn’t always have the answers. I struggled with pricing, policies, techniques, difficult clients, scalp care, building clientele, and figuring out how to actually turn my skill into a profitable business.

A lot of it I learned through trial and ERROR. 😩

And that’s exactly why I created Mastering The Art of Locs.

I took the lessons, mistakes, techniques, and business knowledge I gained throughout my career and put it all in ONE place so you don’t have to spend years confused, frustrated, or trying to figure everything out on your own.

You can learn from what worked for me AND what didn’t. 👏🏾

✨ Lifetime access
✨ Step-by-step education
✨ Loc techniques + scalp care
✨ Pricing, policies & business knowledge

Let me introduce you to @styledbyfocus_ all the way from the 🇬🇧 United Kingdom!

A Professional Barber. Master Loctician. Braider. And honestly… this man is TOUGH! 🔥

What makes me even more proud is that Focus isn’t satisfied with simply being talented. He’s committed to becoming a better business owner, educator, and entrepreneur.

After completing Mastering The Art of Locs, Focus also decided to take his growth a step further through my 1-on-1 Mentorship, where we’re working together to upscale his business, sharpen his strategy, and take what he already does exceptionally well to another level.

That’s what investing in yourself looks like.

You can be GREAT at your craft and still recognize there’s another level waiting for you. 👏🏾
