This is how I ground and bring myself home. It is a practice, and doesn’t always require a flight.. ✨

Finding space.
Slowing down.
Choosing myself, honoring my peace..

Sometimes it’s just 15 minutes from home. ✨

I am home, wherever I land. 🛬

I unplug. I watch my thoughts. I get curious about different paths. I discover and create sacred spaces. It’s a journey.

I journal. I stay present. I give thanks. 🙏🏾

To my beautiful salon community: x You’ve sat in my chair, shared your travel stories, and witnessed some of my own travel adventures through the years. You know that for me, “crowning” someone has always been about more than just hair.. it’s about how you feel when you truly see yourself.

I started as your invitation to join me on mindfully crafted journeys designed to refresh and inspire you. It is a global movement for immersive travel, wellness and embodied celebration. Building cultural connections through community.

Whether you’ve been with me for years or you’re just joining the journey, I’m so honored to have you here.

There comes a point in every nurtured craft, where the knowledge wants to be shared. Passed forward.

I sometimes joke about the miseducation of locs within the loc community, but it’s bigger than the Client learning to care for their own hair. What’s missing is the standard.

The loc community deserves both knowledgeable and skilled stylists to educate their clients and the community of loc care.

Techniques need to be mastered to provide the best methods for each individual’s hair texture and life style. 🌱

👑 Hair care does not end when you loc your hair. 👑

I’ve quietly been building something to bridge the gap between knowledge and blind practice.

Soon I’ll be opening applications for a small in-studio apprenticeship inside my salon for stylists ready to learn the practice of true Loc Cultivation.

If you’ve been feeling called to deepen your loc practice, this may be for you.

Lock in. More soon. ✨👑✨

I am a Loc Cultivator.

Loc care is about nurturing the locs from root to tip, respecting the journey, and creating an experience where every client feels seen and cared for. ✨👑✨

👑 I am a Loc Cultivator 👑

Creating an experience where my clients leave feeling confident, refreshed, heard, and cared for will always be the best part. 🥰
