Aminah Green is the owner and operator of Tighten Up Loc Studio, according to the site. The studio is at 1235 West Chestnut Street, Suite 226, in Union, and the site describes it as a welcoming and professional space. The studio says its staff are highly trained.
The owner has more than 25 years in the hair care industry and decided in 2020 to work only with locs. The site's header calls the owner The Natural Hair Expert, a self-description.
Starter locs begin with either comb coils or double strand twists, and micro locs are tiny locs started with double strand twists. Retwists refresh locs and new growth, while loc re-organizing covers locs and new growth after about three months without a retwist. Loc care handles repair, maintenance, detoxing and treatments, and loc styling includes spider braids, fishtails, updos, box braids and double strand twists on locs. Loc curls are set with rods, flexi rollers or pipe cleaners, and loc cutting trims or cuts locs into a desired style.
Interlocking pulls hair through itself to form an interlock, with sizes that vary. Instant Locs and Loc Extensions are listed on the site as no longer offered. Scalp Love, a product made by the owner, is used to finish services, and the shop sells the Scalp Love Soothing Oil and Scalp Love Stimulating Oil.
The studio concentrates on locs and places the client's relationship with the work and their satisfaction at the center of each visit.
The studio describes itself as a welcoming and professional environment.
