Loc’d & Loaded: 11 Stylists in Phoenix You Need to Know

08/14/2025 | 2 Min. Read

Listen… if you’ve been in Phoenix for more than five minutes and you’re rocking locs (or thinking about starting them), you already know the struggle — finding someone who really knows how to bless your crown. Not just “yeah, I can twist it” energy, but actual skill, care, and artistry. Well, I got you.

I went down the Instagram rabbit hole and found 11 locticians in the Valley who are out here keeping scalps healthy, retwists crisp, and styles on point. And honestly? Most of them can also hook you up with braids if you ever feel like switching it up — but locs are definitely their lane, and they do it well.

Here’s who you need to have on your radar:

@rareessensestudio – A whole vibe, with the skill to match.

@masterlocservicesforyou – Your hair will thank you for letting these hands touch it.

@shadesbylenny – Clean parts, neat work, and styles that last.

@official_akstyles – From starter locs to intricate styles, they’ve got you covered.

@tailoredbytay – Styles so tailored, they feel like they were made just for you (because they were).

@k.symonebeauty – Locs with a touch of luxury.

@cherished.touch – Exactly what the name says: your hair will feel cherished.

@divinestylesbytee – If your locs had a Pinterest board, it would look like Tee’s work.

@savstyled.it – Neat, polished, and photo-ready.

@_sogoldenlocbar – Healthy hair and golden results every time.

@ceeda_locgoat – The name says it all — greatness in loc form.

So whether you’re in need of a fresh retwist, thinking about starting your journey, or just looking to switch locticians, this list is basically a cheat sheet for the Phoenix loc community.

And the best part? Supporting these artists also means supporting Black-owned businesses right here in the Valley. That’s a win for your hair and the culture.

Whats the word?
