What Locs of Love
Academy Covers
Most cosmetology programs treat natural hair as a side topic. We built an entire curriculum around it. Across the full program, students cover the technical and professional foundation needed to work confidently with clients and pursue Michigan State Board of Cosmetology licensing.

No prior professional experience required. The curriculum builds from fundamentals to professional-level techniques across the full program. What we require is commitment.

Cosmetologists, barbers, and beauty professionals who want to specialize in loc and natural hair care come here for the focused, hands-on training they can't get anywhere else.
