Don’t you deserve a relaxing and nurturing
Loc Care Experience?

You need to feel comfortable and enjoy a considerate use of time during your Loc Experience.

You want to know, or better yet, LOVE your Locs and the journey
but maybe…

  • Having information overload and questioning where to start?

  • Needing a simple routine for self-care because you MATTER?

  • Needing a Loctician who makes you feel understood while guides you through your Loc Journey?

  • Looking for a place to zone out, de-stress, and take an ADULT NAP? (Yes, a NAP!)

Only by…

Discovering a Loctician that has built their business and techniques around the Art of Natural Hair Locs and Holistic care, you’ll be in the hands of someone who has the top priority of pampering you on your Loc Journey.

  • "With Akiya, I trust that it is all love and good energy."

    I've been coming here for years now. I've been to other places that do great work as well, but not only is Akiya great at doing hair, her energy is unmatched. Your crown chakra is the center of your spirit, a connection to the Divine. We all know not to let just anyone touch our hair. With Akiya, I trust that it is all love and good energy. And you'll leave feeling good about your hair and in good spirits.

  • "...with the quality environment, Love of Hair Artistry is the place to be."

    When I tell you I have no one better to do my hair, I mean it. Combine that with the quality environment, Love of Hair Artistry is the place to be. Pros: The team is great with all hair, welcoming to all people, can do great styles, offers a variety of products for at home care, provides a variety of services depending on if you just need a touch up, maintenance, or just starting, online scheduling, and they always have something cool on Netflix in the shop. She is busy, but will always find a way to work you in. So you have to pay attention to when she opens her calendar, which features the following 2 months.

  • "Love of Hair Artistry is exactly that: the art of loving and caring for your hair. Love as a verb."

    Love of Hair Artistry has made my loc journey delightful. Once I found Akiya's services, I knew she was who I wanted to loc my hair...but she had a substantial waitlist. During the time I was on the waitlist, I educated myself further about how to care for my hair and made sure this was the right decision for me. The consultation with Akiya further deepened my confidence in her skill; we discussed my hair texture and what would be the best process, size, and care for my hair type. 5 months later and I have never felt more confident. Love of Hair Artistry is exactly that: the art of loving and caring for your hair. Love as a verb. I feel more present with my hair and more embodied in general. Such much gratitude to Akiya! Highly recommend!!!
