Hi I'm Eileen. Having gone through pressing, curly perms, ordinary perms, back to curly perms, plaits, weaving, wigs made to fit, my hair was getting tired and weak. I went to a hair show as I do yearly at Brick Lane. The only difference was I did not realise this was a "natural hair" hair show. I ventured into the Sisterlocks tent there I was inspired by a bevy ladies wearing Sisterlocks. The speakers were convincing enough to allow me to put thought into this new concept. Previously the thought of locks would merely horrify me but this was some thing different, especially as I could see how my hair would be in six months to a year's time.The beginning of my journey was to grow out the perm process in my hair which was the hardest part.
When I had reached the level of re growth as indicated by Carol Lawrence my consultant, I could not wait to get it done. Now one year on I have a healthy head of Sisterlocks admired by all. I can't see myself going back to anything else because of its versatility and low maintenance.

Three locked 'sisters'

Hi I'm Delle. I now have many of the classic sisterlock ‘syndromes’:
Hanzenthehairits –its not just others, I too keep feelin’ it up…
Whitegirlatoma –I can’t resist the urge to flip it when it gets in the way!
Slapurgia – had to restrain myself on holiday in Turkey (men & women kept grabbing my hair – asking: “Is it real?”)
What can I say in my defence? – “To love your [hair] is the beginning of a lifelong affair…” My confidence has grown (with my hair) – couldn’t have more of an attitude, if I tried. And for the first time in my life, I am truly in love with my own hair, I don’t envy others with so-called ‘good hair’ –I know God truly did bless us with African hair. When I have to go out, I only worry about my clothes and shoes – I know that whether I leave my hair ‘freestyle’, or wet-set it into waves, or curls, I’ll still get compliments, whatever the occasion. What more can a gal ask for? I have recommended Carol to many who asked in amazement; “Who did your hair?” and have always heard good reports back from those who consulted her. She has been my consultant for 7 years now and has given me consistently good advice on maintaining my locks. Once they locked, it’s been the closest to ‘wash & go’ hair, there is… Ok, so I’m lazy, and like to have someone ‘do’ my hair for me – though I’ve learnt to retighten it myself as well – I prefer the pampering… I’m just hoping her diary doesn’t get too full to fit me in.
So go on, give it a try – you’ve nothing to lose, but your hang-ups about your hair…

Hi, my name's Andrea. Sisterlocks has given me a sense of freedom which is hard to explain. It suits my lifestyle and enables me to look stylish in a short time with little effort and to always stand out from the crowd. I would and have always recommended Sisterlocks and your professional helpful approach is why I trust you with my locks

Hi, my name's Joan and I am a 48 year old IT Trainer. I have been wearing my hair in Sisterlocks for two years.

Carol came to my rescue after my original consultants became unavailable 15 months ago. My hair had been worn natural for the previous two years following years of relaxers, braiding and many hours sitting in hair salons.

Sisterlocks have been a revelation to me. I have no more bad hair days, my self-esteem has improved 100%. My hair has been in the best condition for as long as I have known myself. I will never go back to any other style. Sisterlocks is here to stay.

Carol has been a fantastic consultant and friend. She works long and hard to achieve the fantastic results you see in my picture. I will continue to use her services. She has been the key to the way I keep my hair. I feel and look great. I am told so many times wherever I go.

I love Sisterlocks, I have nothing negative to say… it’s all good!

I have been retightening my hair in the sisterlocks style for 4 years now, with Carol Lawrence as my loctician.
 
My hair has never been as healthy or long in all the time I have known myself. The style has been a revelation, and is so versatile now that it is of the length it is.
 
I retighten every 6 weeks without fail and this strick maintanence regime is what keeps my locks looking so good and healthy. Carol has been fantastic and is very professional offering advice as well as providing an excellent first class service.

Hi I'm Ruth. 17th June 2005 is my Sisterlocks Emancipation Day!

I had suffered another bad relaxer and my lovely hair, that took me awhile to grow, had been culled! I was not only devastated but disappointed that I knew the risk but still went ahead anyway. I decided that I would not put any chemicals on my hair again, but what could I do with my hair in its natural state? I'd done plenty of research and found Sisterlocks. After doing some extensive research, I knew I found the answer. I met Carol and immediately knew I was in professional hands. She has been a tremendous support and has a solid knowledge base on which to draw on. It has been 2 years and 3 months now and my only regret is that I did not do this sooner.
