Black-and-white portrait of locs pulled up from behind

Loctician · Highland, Shreveport

Locs with purpose.

Starter locs, retwists, interlocking and repair. Nia means purpose; mine is healthy locs that last a lifetime.

Meet Kofi

Twelve years of patience.

I started my own locs in 2008 and started twisting friends’ locs in my dorm two years later. People kept coming back, so I made it my life.

I am gentle with tension, careful with product and honest about timelines. Locs are a journey; I would rather go slow and get it right.
