Meet The Stylist
Hi, Iโm Jai (pronounced like the letter J). Im Located in Los Angeles and I specialize in luxury protective faux loc installs designed to protect your natural hair including your edges. My work focuses on healthy hair practices and textured installs that naturally resemble real locs as they age. My goal is for every client to leave with a style that feels effortless, protective, and uniquely their own.
Texture matters more than people think when it comes to faux locs. When I create my locs, the goal isnโt just the style..itโs the feel and the way they age over time. Think Lisa Bonetโฆ her locs arenโt overly polished or shiny. They have that soft, shaggy, slightly frizzy texture that comes naturally from her hair type and thatโs exactly what makes them look so real and lived in.
Thatโs the look I aim to recreate with temporary locs.
I intentionally avoid anything too sleek or overly shiny because that โperfectโ finish can read as unnatural. Real locs evolve. They soften, they frizz, they gain character and thatโs the beauty of them.
So when your locs start to get a little fluffy or textured over time, just knowโฆ thatโs not a flaw, thatโs the goal.
Itโs all about creating a look that grows into itself and feels as natural as possible from start to finish.
I begin all new client experiences with a quick consultation to understand your goals. To book your appointment or discuss pricing, send me a text 818-641-2289.
