Founded by Registered Nurse and Certified Microloc Consultant Amoy Virgo, The Loc Artistry Global combines healthy hair care with evidence-informed scalp health and precision loc maintenance.
TThe Loc Artistry Global brings specialized microloc, Sisterlock, and traditional loc care to Playa del Carmen through recurring service dates throughout the year. Founded by Registered Nurse and Certified Microloc Consultant Amoy Virgo, our approach combines healthy hair care, precision, and education to support the long-term health and integrity of your locs.
Whether you live in Playa del Carmen, are an expat, a digital nomad, or are visiting the Riviera Maya, you'll receive the same personalized care and attention that has made The Loc Artistry by AV a trusted name in New York's Hudson Valley.
Every service is performed using our curated line of all-natural products and is designed to promote the health of your hair, scalp, and overall well-being.
Appointment locations are shared with confirmed clients approximately one month before each service period. Services are available by consultation, and appointments are intentionally limited to ensure every client receives an unrushed, individualized experience.

Amoy Virgo is a Registered Nurse with more than 20 years of experience spanning critical care, forensic nursing, healthcare leadership, and patient advocacy. In 2021, she founded The Loc Artistry by AV with a simple vision: to create a space where healthy hair begins with healthy habits, and where every client is cared for as a whole person—not just a hairstyle.
As a Certified Microloc Consultant and Instructor, Amoy specializes in microlocs, Sisterlocks, and traditional loc maintenance for all hair textures. Her nursing background influences every aspect of her work, from scalp health and product selection to education and long-term loc integrity. She also formulates a curated line of all-natural products designed to support healthy hair and scalp.
When she's not caring for clients, you'll likely find her exploring hiking trails, reading a great book, or writing. Those same values—curiosity, mindfulness, and connection—shape the experience she creates in the salon.
The Loc Artistry Global extends that vision beyond New York by bringing specialized loc care to Playa del Carmen through recurring service dates. As this community grows, so does Amoy's commitment to providing consistent, trusted care for residents, expats, digital nomads, and visitors throughout the Riviera Maya.

I’ve had an exceptional loc care experience when visiting in Loc Artistry in NY. Amoy, the owner of Loc Artistry, showed an exemplary level professionalism. The service was timely, precise, and focused on maintaining the health and integrity of my locs. Her attention to detail and overall experience made me feel like a valued client. The ambiance was peaceful, clean and very inviting. I highly recommend this service to anyone serious about maintaining beautiful, healthy locs.

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. Thank you Amoy!
— Deanna
It was a WHOLE wonderful experience for me! Not only was the owner Amoy an absolute pleasure to be in the company of, she has mastered her craft. Her studio gave a complete zen vibe. I left with an amazing hair treatment (dreadlock interlocking) and an education on how to maintain my locs in a healthy way. My hair came out amazing and I felt renewed from the experience! I highly recommend “The Loc Artistry”.
