CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
"I completed my microloc install last week. It was a great experience from start to finish. Amoy has created a practice and space of feeling well cared for as a client. She answered all my questions and gave me knowledge that eased any angst I had taking on this new journey. Despite my concerns about sitting for so long, the time went by fast with ease and comfort. I was extremely happy with the finished results and am excited to continue with my reties and growth to come.”
—Deanna R.
“Kiera did my daughters hair with patience and care. My daughter is very tender headed and usually hates to get her hair done. At the end, not only did her hair look great, she was saying she wanted to go back. I would highly recommend Kiera to anyone looking to have their locs cared for!"
—Tara C.
“It was my first time at the loc artistry and Lydia did my microloc retie meticulously. She was very good with time too. The environment was warm and welcoming and I’d definitely be a regular. I highly recommend.”
— Nneka U.
