Empress Locs And Braids

Grand Rising my Sisters & Brothers, This review will give you all the in’s and out’s of my experience with Empress Locs & Braids… I’m here to give you the Sipping Tea! Let me tell you from the beginning to the end was an amazing journey at Empress Locs & Braids with Mrs. Alexandria, she was EVERYTHING! I wanted to start my Loc Journey trying to find the right person was a tad bit frustrating, constantly and daily conducting my research trying to find the right person day in and day out. Must remind you I’m in the process of deploying for a whole year, so (1) the time was limited and (2) I had to find the right person and the right person fast. But how? The Universe has guided me multiple times to Empress Locs & Braids. Meaning every time I found one loc-tician near me my intuition was telling me otherwise. So I decided to make my first phone call on 24MAR22. I stated to her that I lived two hours away and she was willing to work with me by doing a photo text consultation (which was very helpful). She EXPRESSED that interlocking small will be the best method for my texture. Of course I was giving some minor push back because I was nervous of course. I immediately booked my appointment for the 7th of April. Let me tell you I was so nervous and excited at the same time I called and texted her every other three days just to ask questions and to ease my mind and she did just that without any annoyance or irritation. The day arise and I have finally arrived, scoping out the area (Wowwwww) the location placement is very elegant to its pinnacle. The moment I walked into her shop the High Vibration Energy was at its climax (whew). I was able to be me and free, which is hard to say because some salons don’t provide that atmosphere for me (my disclaimer: I can only say this from my experiences). I was able to be my witless self, this place was most defiantly a non-judgment zone! We exchanged stores not knowing that most stories were so similar in a way. She started off by detangling my nappy-ness then gently laid my head back for a message and wash. She then oiled my hair (she makes all her oils by the way, and let me tell you her oils are different, the moment it touches your scalp it’s a soothing that is never felt before). She proceeds to section my hair, oil then trim. (Before the trim I was edgy) Mrs. Alexandria had asked me if it is ok that I trim your hair just a bit. She then proceed into educating me in why most split ends needed to be trimmed, locs will not be able to hold. I simply agreed, after all she’s the one with the magic fingers. She then carried on by creating my foundation/grid and by the look of my hair her parts are clean and crispy. It took longer than expected but what can I say perfectionist always do their diligence on taking there time! She then spins me around, my mouth drops and all I can say is that I cried and fell in LOVE! Yoooooooo Mrs. Alexandria is the TRUTH and most importantly she carries herself with poise throughout this whole process (7hr process). As I payed she blessed me with a crystal charm for my locs that express “New Beginnings”. When she provided me this crystal I had confirmed with the universe that it was leading me to her because through my life as it stands I been starting a lot of “New Beginning”. Please I say again Please do not hesitate to book your appointment with Empress Locs & Braids, either your a first timer starting your new Loc Journey or your just wanting a fresh detox with a fresh twist Mrs. Alexandria will hook you up and I promise you will not regret. (below are photos I took today, I styled the two braids myself, getting a feel with what I can do with my hair). I hope this review will serve you well, wishing you nothing but Peace, Love and Happiness🤍

Alex is a skilled professional Loctician who is about her business! She takes her time to ensure your locs not only are well maintained and styled to perfection, but are healthy and well cared for. I was having challenges with breakage and thinning hairline, which has dramatically improved since Alex has been doing my microloc tightenings. She recommended products and educated me on what I need to do as my daily routine, as a result my hair is thriving! I highly recommend Alexandria Jeffrey of Empress Loc & Braids, LLC!!

She's cold, showed up late, and overthinks too much... just winds up doing a terrible job, was very disappointed in my hair... wasted my money.

Empress locs and braids is the best Loc salon you will find in the orlando area. And “best” is based on the price, quality work and cleanliness of the environment. She knows her craft and is very professional. I would recommend her without a doubt! TSB
