MEET OUR FOUNDER
Hey👋 Meet Kika- the heart behind TressesbyK
She is an expert loctician, and nurturer at heart who moved from Nigeria to the UK and quickly noticed how few locticians truly understood Afro-textured hair, prompting her to start a personal journey of tending to both hers and partner’s locs.
And what started as a mitigation for the numerous disappointing salon experience soon grew into a passion and a trusted brand across Northamptonshire and beyond.
With her background in health, Kika brings a gentle, attentive touch to every appointment. In her chair, clients don’t just get premium loc maintenance and styling. They find comfort, care, and a safe space where their crown is always celebrated.
“every crown deserves to be handled with love. ”
