A Little About Sisterlocks

Sisterlocks® is a trademarked locking method that was invented just over 20 years ago by Dr. JoAnne Cornwell that differs significantly from traditional locking methods. Only trained certified Sisterlocks® associates like myself are able to give official Sisterlocks®. Much smaller and lightweight than traditional Locs, Sisterlocks® enable easy manipulation of difficult and intricate styles. Sisterlocks is a process that begins with an initial consultation, followed by an installation or establishment appointment with a certified specialist, and finalized with a retightening appointment. For authentic Sisterlocks® and Brotherlocks®, special tools and methods must be used, so it is important that it performed by an experienced salon with certified locticians.

About Ivy Essence

Ivy is a Saint Louis native and has always enjoyed doing hair for fun or just practicing on her little sisters. Ivy did her “BIG CHOP” in the spring of 2010 when she was on spring break. Later that year she learned about Sisterlocks after her older sister got her hair loc’d and loved everything about them. In 2011 once Ivy graduated college she decided that Sisterlocks would be the hair style for her.  After getting her Sisterlocks installed she knew that she would love them forever. Ivy took the Sisterlocks training class after being recruited by her older sister Tameka to work for her business and the rest is history! In 2013 Locs N Cutz was officially started, after attending barber school. Later on throughout the year, Locs N Cutz started to go by LocsByIvyEssence after having such an impact on her social media platforms. As of 2018, Ivy is no longer a Sisterlocks brand consultant on their website. However, she still establishes Sisterlocks and other loc’n method like it, such as interlocks, two strand interlocks etc. In 2020 even while a pandemic is going on Ivy Essence has opened her own salon which is called Essence Naturals Salon.
