Where Your Locs Feel at Home.

Welcome to TressesbyK

TressesbyK is an Afro hair styling salon proudly serving Kettering and the wider Northamptonshire community. Founded in 2023, we’ve quickly become a trusted home for over 50 regular clients who know the value of expert care for locs and natural textured hair.

We do more than style hair — we care for it. From starter locs to maintenance, repair, and natural hair care, we provide solutions to the common struggles many face when finding the right loctician or hair stylist. Every visit comes with guidance, open conversations, and answers to your hair questions, so you leave not only looking good but feeling confident about caring for your hair too.

Our salon is built on comfort and community. You’ll always find a relaxed, clean space, snacks, entertainment, and an open ear for your concerns. Whether you’re new to the journey or deeply rooted in it, we make sure your locs have a place they love coming back to.

At TressesbyK, our purpose goes beyond the chair. We’re building a hub for Afro and textured hair care in Northamptonshire. [A place to grow, connect, and belong]. With active engagement on Instagram and TikTok, and future plans for events, resources, and workshops, we’re committed to being more than a salon.

We look forward to being your one-stop destination for thriving, healthy Afro hair

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.
