My Mission

More Than a Stylist. I’m Here to Teach, Empower, and Elevate.

I’ve spent almost 10 years perfecting my craft as a loctician, specializing in traditional locs, microlocs, extensions, repairs, and advanced loc care. But my true passion is teaching.

I started as an assistant under one of the top locticians in my area, and that experience lit a fire in me — not just to grow, but to pour everything I’ve learned back into others. Over the years, I’ve mentored new stylists, taught classes, built detailed workbooks, and created systems that help locticians earn more, work smarter, and build generational wealth.

Today, my mission is bigger than hair:

I’m building a school and a movement , a space where up-and-coming locticians can learn the craft, the business, and the confidence needed to become six-figure stylists.

Loc’n It Up with Ari is not just a salon.

It’s an educational hub. A legacy. And a platform for future beauty entrepreneurs to win.
