Only one was a licensed cosmetologist, and I recently discovered that even she had just finished beauty school which explains why she was not knowledgeable of some of the questions that I asked of her. So I have learned that being certified in Sisterlocks means that people meet the qualifications to be a "technician" but not necessarily an "artist." For $750, I expected an artist, long term hair partner, and a professional. I kept getting technicians in it purely for the money not the passion. All is not lost though, I still anticipate 14 to 18 inches in length in 8 years, but they will be finger twisted versus interlocked.Benita Blockerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02481194374001578354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6282460026244353937.post-72327132146593556812013-02-09T09:23:58.141-08:002013-02-09T09:23:58.141-08:00I discovered that the Atlanta area offers "Tw...I discovered that the Atlanta area offers "Twistylocks". . .Benita Blockerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02481194374001578354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6282460026244353937.post-52415213970989676112012-07-27T05:00:10.492-07:002012-07-27T05:00:10.492-07:00Now, that I had my full SisterLocks installation d...Now, that I had my full SisterLocks installation done . . .

She had just released another client so she had room for one more. Smile. Me!. Big Smile. I hope that this helps. She was booked six weeks out for full SisterLock installation. So I had to put a non-refundable deposit down to hold my installation date. So I am trying to get prepared for the two day service. About 10 movies is what I am planning to take with me.Benita Blockerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02481194374001578354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6282460026244353937.post-24221498415557823142012-07-07T02:07:34.704-07:002012-07-07T02:07:34.704-07:00pHenomenal congrats on your new Sisterlock journey...pHenomenal congrats on your new Sisterlock journey.

You are making the absolute BEST investment of $750 of your life. I had my Sisterlocks installed in March 2004, started with a full and thick head of 5 inches of all-natural kinky hair. My locks grew to an amazing length of 14-18 inches (they extended to my lower back). I colored my locks prior to my installation date, as I was told by my very experienced consultant that I would not be able to color my locks for 8-12 months. Good luck to you and welcome!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6282460026244353937.post-83768280705975035762012-06-22T22:03:51.442-07:002012-06-22T22:03:51.442-07:00Energize: I also feel you about searching for a h...Energize: I also feel you about searching for a hair partner! I am age 41, and it is only now, after going through a thousand hairstylists, that I finally feel that I am going to be "at home" with my new loctitian. It is a great feeling! I am hoping that you find the same one day soon!Benita Blockerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02481194374001578354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6282460026244353937.post-63186838952490238822012-06-22T21:58:36.824-07:002012-06-22T21:58:36.824-07:00Thanks energize!

She had just let one client go and had room for another one. In addition, I had to name drop and even get one of the referral persons to personally call her before my call was returned. So I really feel blessed to get assigned to her. Another "dredlock" specialist had seen my loctitian's work over and over again, but she had never met her. Her work has been outstanding to see even with my own eyes. I can tell a difference now between her work and others. So I am even more excited now than I was on my first day of my sample locs. Also, I have been letting my clients feel and touch my sample locs. I have a few more client becoming more and more interested. I may become certified within a few years or less.Benita Blockerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02481194374001578354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6282460026244353937.post-60711641456991754332012-06-22T06:59:20.639-07:002012-06-22T06:59:20.639-07:00You sound so excited about your new hair adventure...You sound so excited about your new hair adventure!
