When I say I specialize in feminine loc styles, this is what I mean. 🥰. If I can’t guarantee anything else, I can guarantee a CRISPYYY retwist. Neatness and consistency are my top priority when styling. 💕. ATL, I’m ALWAYS accepting new clients. 😌

I’m dating to date. If something comes out of it, great. If not, no pressure or hard feelings. I just take what I’ve learned and keep it moving. To me, things just flow better when there’s no expectation on a relationship. You have to let the vibes be organic & unforced.

This may sound crazy to some but I’m okay living with my parents for right now. Lol. They don’t bother me, I come and go as I please, and I’m not far from the city. Don’t get me wrong, I still have bills but it’s a win,win. I’ll move out when my man asks me to move in. 😂😂😂.

I think your 20s are definitely meant for your character development. It takes some soul searching & a few Ls to figure you out though. You have to be willing to put in the work.

I remember when I HATED doing stitch braids. Now I’m knocking them out in an 1-1 1/2 hrs. No, you don’t have to come pressed out. No, you don’t have to come blown out damned near straight. I’ll always try my best to achieve a perfect stitch! . Atlanta, I’m at your service. 😊

Oh and let me let y’all in on a baby hair secret for natural hair. Use extreme hold edge wax, spray this, swoop baby hair, tie a SATIN scarf around them . BOOM. you have baby hair that lasts about 3 days depending on the texture.

If you can't braid, say you can't braid. Don't blame the hair texture and for the edges, it's nothing a lil edge control/gel can't fix.

My client originally wanted 2 Feed-In Braids. Her hair is soooooo thick that it’s like braiding 2 braids into 1 buuuut we did it! She fell in love with this style from another stylist so we compromised! I definitely delivered!✨. This is my first time doing a “design”. 😅
