Woman with long honey-brown box braids in profile against a white tiled wall

Est. 2014 · Greenwood District, Tulsa

Locs, kept the old way.

Palm rolls, interlocks, starter locs and box braids from a parlour that still writes its prices on a board and its appointments in ink.

The parlour

Twelve years on Greenwood Avenue.

Desmond Okoye opened the parlour with one chair, a steamer and a promise to his grandmother: clean parts, honest prices, no rushing a loc.

Today the board lists the same services it did in 2014, plus a few new ones. Every visit starts with a scalp check and ends with a hot towel.

Desmond's parts are surgical. Three years with him and not one thin root.

The detox took out years of buildup. My scalp has never felt this clean, and the hot towel is the best ten minutes of my month.
