I’m Adrienne L. Harvard a passionate, and creative Loctician/Natural Hair Care Provider & Hair Loss Practioner. In 2008 I went from having chemical relaxed hair back to my natural state of hair, that was kinky and coily, and decided to get Locs. Being a mother of three at the time, going to the salon on a regularly basis to get my hair retwisted, was not an option, so I began doing my own hair. Unbeknownst to me, I started getting request from others to do their Locs, and that is when I officially began my journey of becoming an entrepreneur.
In 2015, I became a Sisterlocks Trainee which as time progressed over the years turned into being a Brand Ambassador/”R” Certified Sisterlocks® Consultant. In 2016, I became the business owner of Nu Locs of Life LLC in Greenwood, SC and opened my second location in Mauldin, SC. Follow our page on Instagram by clicking here. I recently became CEO/Founder of a non-profit organization called Locticians on a Mission,Inc. where we are that village that provides mentorship, training, and free Natural Hair Care services to underprivileged children.
