At Locafella University, we specialize in unlocking the art and science of loc styling, catering specifically to the unique beauty of Black hair. Our mission is to empower new stylists with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to master loc techniques, from foundational basics to advanced styling and care practices.
We believe that mastering the art of loc styling transcends the strands we twist and shape; it's a celebration of heritage, identity, and self-expression. "It's bigger than hair" is not just our tagline; it's a deep-rooted conviction that guides every lesson, every technique, and every interaction we have. It reflects our commitment to understanding and honoring the rich history and cultural significance of locs, recognizing that each twist and coil carries a story, an identity, and a legacy.
Founder: Jasmin Thomas
Master Loctician
Franchise owner of Locafella Locs Studio
From the humble beginnings of styling locs in a college dorm to pioneering a luxury brand that embodies the essence of Black excellence, our founder's journey is a testament to the power of passion, perseverance, and vision. With a bachelor's degree in psychology, they not only mastered the art of loc styling but also understood the profound impact of hair on identity and self-esteem.
With over 15 years of hair care experience, they took a leap during the pandemic and launched two state-of-the-art studios in 2021 located in the heart of Fontana, CA, and the iconic Melrose Ave in Los Angeles, CA. Today, as the leader of a talented team of 17 stylists, they oversee the care of over 500 clients each month, offering unparalleled service and expertise.
Beyond styling, they have innovated a natural hair care line that reflects their commitment to quality and sustainability. With 7 products currently gracing the shelves of Amazon and Walmart, they are setting new standards in natural hair care.
At the core of our instructor's ethos is the belief that "It's bigger than hair." This philosophy has guided them to not only build a brand but also to foster a community that celebrates faith, hope, love, and the rich tapestry of Black culture. Through their work, they aim to inspire future generations, proving that with faith and determination, dreams can manifest into reality.
