    I have been shopping for a while for someone to start my locs. I did not want to go to just anybody for this commitment I was hopeful when I read the reviews. I fell in love with the pictures I saw from her work. Meeting her and having my own experience was the icing on the cake. It was a great first impression. She is very warm and very knowledgeable. I feel she will help me have healthy locs. My hair was incredibly neat. I got so many compliments on it. I look forward to having her be part of my loc journey.

    Highly recommend!

    Such professionalism and understanding to people's situations and time constraints. My daughter didnt want locs anymore and spent all summer taking them out (164), Melinda was empathetic and very accommodating to us; we went so we could show her the task at hand and she squeezed us in the following day, coming in early to rescue my baby's crown. She washed, detangled, prayed a little Im sure, trimmed then silk pressed my daughters hair. It was at this time I almost cried because my baby girl with the locs was gone and now I have a tween who has a loose neck from flipping her hair so much. She is currently navigating hairstyles that fit her but we all know where she's going for silk presses and maintenance

    Thank you so much to Melinda for the amazing style and retwist she gave me! If you’re thinking of booking an appointment with her, don’t hesitate; she took such good care of my hair, was so kind, and had amazing hospitality! Will be booking again!!

    The best retwist I’ve had. My hair hasn’t felt this refreshing and a long time. Definitely recommend to anyone who’s looking for a loctician.

    I really love Melinda she is sweet, attentive and patience. She knows her stuff about hair mainly locs she is literally the only person I allow to touch my hair. I been going to her every month for almost 2 years straight. I always recommend people to go to her for hair styles and hair care. I never had a bad experience. Highly recommend🤗

    Melinda started my locks, her work is great and every time I go there my hair just comes out healthy. She makes her own oils and I am not sure what is in it, but it really grows my hair. I definitely recommend her if you want your locks started.
