Sumptuous Locks owner and CEO, Wariesi Flores, is R-Certified and trained to teach courses, which makes her the ultimate expert in Sisterlocks™ installations.

Please do not put any oils, grease or any form of conditioner in your hair.
You can schedule an in person or virtual consultation using Genbooks.
