About Me

What was seemingly a childhood hobby, has planted seeds of a now blossoming and fruitful career!  Tika Mercer began braiding and creative styling natural hair in adolescence. This favored pastime got noticed,  then led to employment at a local Natural Hair Salon. Years later, Tika was introduced to Sisterlocks™  and was able  to view the technique as not just a hairstyle, but a lifestyle. She found it somewhat breathtaking that Sisterlocks™  was and still is an icebreaker or conversation piece in a room full of strangers, as well as sisterhood and community. Tika Mercer is a now a Master Cosmetologist and Collegiate Level Educator, who has fused her love of all things natural hair with "That Hair Thing" called Sisterlocks™ !  She finds that establishing and retightening Sisterlocks™  is very soothing and creates bonding time as she enhances the natural beauty in each client. Tika has recently commemorated her Brand Ambassador Certification Status  by having her own Sisterlocks™ ​ established and gets warm sisterhood welcomes daily!!
