Guess who's a Sisterlock Consultant?

That's right, I took the class in Miami and met several wonderful women.  Since taking the class, I've installed SL for two people which was a great experience.  My goal is to make sure I give 110% to each client.  Stay tuned for more...

Abijah's hair is doing great.  I closed the ends many of them and took down some of the locks that were too big.  My experience with her hair fuels my desire to make sure I establish and install SLs properly. 

For my hair, things are going well.  My classmate Handz inspired me to attempt to retighten my own hair...more to come on this as well.

Settling in

I must say, Abijah and I are both enjoying our sisterlocks.  Because I have my own set now, I don't play with hers at much :-)  It seems every month brings a new adventure in terms of styling.  I was never big on getting my hair done, especially have fancy styles.  I love to workout and I couldn't see paying all that money just to sweat it away.  Sisterlocks have been a welcomed blessings.  When it rains, Abijah say "we don't need umbrella's we have sisterlocks."  So far, we've stuck with the routine of going every 4 weeks for re-tightenings.  It didn't take long for me to add up the cost and figure out that I'd better take the class.  So, I registred to take the class in Miami which is being held this month.  I kinda would like to take the class held in Baltimore, which would give me with ability to build a network in my area.  Oh, well!  I can't wait to come home and try out my new skills.

It's infectious

It's been a minute since I posted something, but alot as transpired within a short period of time.  I'm proud to say that I (Latasha-Abijah's Mom) am now a member of the sisterlock family.  I remember when Abijah would ask if she could comb my hair and after she had her sisterlocks installed, I couldn't make my hands out of her head :-)  As a mother, I decided that I needed to project the image that I always tell her is beautiful, so without hesitation I started the journey and my locks were born Decemeber 23rd.

We share the same consultant, which is not the person who installed Abijah's hair.  As a child whose head is still growing, her locks should have been smaller (but they are still gorgeous).  Additionally, the person who installed her sisterlocks didn't go all the  way down which for some may be ok. However, I personally didn't like the look and felt she would have alot of slippage (she swims).

When I checked the SL website and noted we had a consultant less than a mile from the house, I contacted her immediately.  She was heaven sent!  Without asking or suggesting, she began closing the ends during a retightening session.   I knew then that I was dealing with an experienced person and that's where we are now.

My mother had a consultation last week and we will soon be three generations of SL women L0L.  It's been an amazing experience.  I'm come close to missing meeting because I got caught up in a conversation about my sisterlocks.  The person who stopped me and a perm but knew I had sisterlocks as she's contemplated getting them. Today, a woman reached out and grapped my arm and said "do you have sisterlocks".  I was thankfully that she stopped me because I didn't want to appear as a stoker, but had I noticed her as soon as I reached the door.  This is good (my heart is smiling).

Day 1

Day 1 went very well.  We finished 1 of 4 5 hour sessions and we're ready for the next session.  Abijah is very pleased, which means I'm happy.

Patience for myself

If we pay attention, God will give us revelation. 
“The keys to patience are acceptance and faith. Accept things as they are, and look realistically at the world around you. Have faith in yourself and in the direction you have chosen.”

“The key to everything is patience. You get the chicken by hatching the egg, not by smashing it.”


“Patience is passion tamed.”

Thank you God for revelation, I must now reflect, apply and learn from my ways.

Sister Lock Consultation

Today we had a consultation with Kirigo and it was a pleasant experience.  She was very welcoming and treated Abijah as a client.  By that I mean, she asked her questions, educated her on the history of sister locks and solicited questions.  Our appointment is set for Aug 23-24th and we can't wait.

Saying yes to Sister Locks

Abijah is a typical 6 year old who loves anything pink or purple.  So needless to say she's a girly-girly and adores hair.  I'm not that great at styling her hair, but am fortunate to have someone in the area who styles it bi-weekly.  Last year my husband suggested we lock her hair, but I wasn't feeling it. Less than two weeks ago, the mother of her swim buddy stated her daughter was getting locks.  Let me say that God's timing is perfect!  I'm so thankful that he placed me in her space to hear those words.  When I got home, I shared it with my husband who obviously was o.k. with it.  I starting searching the website and thought about a good friend from the Coast Guard who got sister locks.  I contacted her and she provided me with the name of the person who retigntens her hair.  Kirigo heard the excitement in my voice and scheduled a consultation for us for the following week.  Mind you, I still hadn't discussed any of this with Abijah :-D When I asked her if she wanted to get sister locks, she wasn't sure what they were.  I showed her a picture and she immediately said, "yes" with an excited voice.  Our appointment is tomorrow and we're both excited!
