Tia's was founded more than a decade ago through the perseverance of one woman and her love for natural hair. Raised in Trinidad doing the locs of her father and siblings, Tia ironically never had them herself until later in her life. From the beginning the plan was always to loc her own hair, but working in the corporate world meant the choice wasn't hers to make. As an employee with locs was not one that went far, she decided to bide her time; waiting until she was out of "the system".
On arriving in London, Tia had the good fortune to meet and train with one of the pioneers of dressing natural hair; an active advocate in it being more than just a stumbling block on the road to beauty. Whilst practising in Trinidad and training in London, she learned the foundations of working positively with un-straightened hair; and instinctively began developing her own insights on the best way to not only 'manage' it, but to style it, revealing its elegance and versatility.
Student becomes teacher
Tia soon built on her foundations and opened her own London salon. Here she set about educating new staff on both the basic and intricate insights picked up through years of working with natural hair. A significant testimony to her ability is the return of customers on whom she first practised over a decade ago.
In Tia and her staff you will find a wealth of knowledge and informed advice; tailored to the individual, not just the hair or style.
