About Katrina
My natural hair journey started at the suggestion of my husband more than 10 years ago. I didn’t listen to his suggestion until 2001 when I grew weary of the braids, relaxers, and unprofessionalism in various salons. I didn’t wait to transition I just did it. I cut off more than 12 inches of relaxed hair and wore a low fade. I enjoyed the freedom of my haircut and Corporate America didn’t mind the hair cut either.
I wore two strand twists, comb coils, curly afros, and afro puffs. It wasn’t until I decided to grow traditional locks that I experienced subtle critics in business meetings and various looks from people in executive management that made me cut my hair again. The one comment in a meeting that I will never forget from a director was…”Oh I didn’t think you washed your hair.” I couldn’t believe I was living in the year of 2005. I just cut it, because I didn’t want my struggles of obtaining my Marketing B.S. and MBA to be lost all due to a hairstyle.
After cutting my hair I felt defeated and was determined to have my hair the way I wanted it. I love everything about natural hair and I began educating myself and consulting with various lawyers concerning my experience. That is when I began researching Sisterlocks™ and thus found Locks4Life and Paulette.
July 15, 2006 was my homecoming to Sisterlocks™ and I haven’t looked back since. I even took the re-tightening class and I have been maintaining my own hair for a year now. How empowering is that? Armed with 2 degrees, 10 years of professional experience, my natural hair knowledge gained through 10 years of research, knowledge concerning natural hair and Corporate America, and my recent enrollment in the Sisterlock™ Training class in Atlanta I am ready and willing to bring the Locks4Life experience to the Atlanta Metro area. Locks4Life-Atlanta is all about creating clients 4 life and that is my motto when you sit in my chair.
