Every story has a beginning, and this is ours...
A young awkward pre-teen sat watching MTV in the 80’s.
Most people remember the music - but not me. It was an interview with a high volume, blonde video jockey about her fake hair that would stand out. Extensions?!? I wanted them. NO, I needed them!!
The seed was planted.
The addiction had begun. In 1999 I installed my first set of extension braids. What followed was a mass consumption of videos, books, tutorials, methods, and tools.
In this haze, the internet was growing and the first hair extension forum was born.
New products, methods and creations were invented and strong friendships were forged.
Alternative colors and creative styles were difficult to find reliably. I became a vendor of bulk supplies to fill the product gaps for this growing online community.
With my house bursting at the seams and a steady stream of dedicated followers, Doctored Locks opened as an official retail store in the summer of 2003.
Original product lines, new methodologies and quality education set the foundation. Rapid growth continued and by 2007 Doctored Locks had become a small employer and was again bursting at the seams.
Doctored Locks 2.0 was forged! A new shop location added a full service educational salon as well as a fully equipped media studio. I was not only interested in selling high quality products, but found great joy in teaching others the trade.
By 2014, we had added many innovative product lines to the industry. All of us who work here pride ourselves in not only the quality of products, but also in the whole hair tribe that supports this business.
"We are friends at the core of it all - and THAT makes you want to come to work and give 110% everyday." ~Doc
We are continuing our mission to bring our customers the highest quality in products and education. Doctored Locks continues to bring inspiration and innovation to life.
