Watch my transformation consultation..
Normally I don’t do this, but I just felt like I could save her hair…
And that I did!

You ever had a rush of thoughts and needed to get it all out in 30 seconds… that’s how it felt with this video and that’s why it’s so weird 🫠🤣🤣🤣
But the weirdness got yall to watch the entire thing…
So hopefully now it’s clearer why I still stand my ground on what I said beforehand…
The end.
Love ya

This is a genuine question for salon owners and microloc technicians.

If a retie specialist is primarily using a latch hook and skill, why are they often paid under the same commission structure as services that require color, chemicals, extensions, relaxers, and ongoing product costs?

Should retie specialists be earning a higher percentage?

Should commission structures be different for low-overhead services?

And for the technicians:

Would you rather chase 1-2 installs a month, or build a consistent book of retie clients that come back every 6-10 weeks?

I’m curious where everyone stands on this.

Salon owners, what’s your reasoning behind your commission split?

Locticians, what percentage would make a retie-focused position attractive enough for you to choose that over working alone?

Let’s discuss 👇🏾

No to the sister locs grid for extensions!!!

Retie bar discussions part 2

I’ve been thinking about something…

Why aren’t more locticians opening dedicated microloc retie bars?

Not salons that do a little bit of everything. Not a chair in the corner. An actual retie-focused business.

Microloc clients need maintenance every 8–10 weeks. That’s recurring income. Predictable scheduling. Repeat clients. No chasing trends.

If you had 2–4 locticians focused primarily on reties, with systems in place for speed, consistency, and client retention, that business could potentially cover its own rent, pay staff, and generate profit without depending on new installs every month.

Some locticians are fully booked and burnt out.

Some salon owners are struggling with overhead.

Some stylists want more freedom and don’t want to work 6 days a week.

So why aren’t we seeing more retie bars?

Is it lack of training?
Lack of systems?
Ego?
Fear of sharing clients?
Not enough microloc clients in certain cities?

I’m genuinely curious.

If someone opened a well-run microloc retie bar in your city, do you think it would succeed?

Tell me why or why not.
