THE OWNER
Dr. Joanne Cornwell, Founder of Sisterlocks and Michelle Bryant, Sisterlocks Master Trainer of the Sisterlocks Corporation, for unethical practices. This brought world wide attention to the salon and the salon's newest YOUTUBE channel "Ask a Loctician."
VANITY encourages clients to maintain a healthy scalp and hair through education and aftercare maintenance outside of the salon. Empowering clients is the #1 priority. How do we do this? Discussions of internal health, diet, hormones, and stress levels are incorporated into consultations and single service sessions to help clients manage their expectations.
