🚨 LOCTICIANS & FUTURE LOCTICIANS—THIS is what a loc consultation should look like.
A consultation is NOT just asking, “So, what are we doing today?” 👏🏾
In this raw Loc Damage Assessment, my client presented with several concerns, including separation within her loc strands. But before discussing a service, we had to understand WHY it was happening.
🎓 This is where education matters.
We discussed the stages of loc development, assessed the integrity of her loc strands, identified the damage, and addressed how repeatedly tying a loc into knots can weaken and compromise the strand.
Then I took it a step further—I demonstrated the correction. 🎯
As a loctician, your consultation should allow you to:
• ASSESS what’s actually happening
• IDENTIFY the cause—not just the symptom
• EDUCATE your client and dispel misinformation
• DEMONSTRATE possible corrective techniques when appropriate
• CREATE a clear plan of action moving forward
Your hands can perform a service—but your knowledge is what makes you a professional. 🧠
This is exactly why I created LOYL Academy. I don’t just teach you how to establish and maintain locs. I teach you how to think like a knowledgeable loctician—how to assess, consult, troubleshoot, educate, and make informed decisions behind the chair.
If you’re ready to strengthen the knowledge behind your technique, it’s time to stop just doing locs and start understanding them. 🎓✨
