Today we’d like to introduce you to TaRhonda Lloyd.
TaRhonda, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
I learned how to braid at 5 yrs old by playing with my “Kenya Doll”. Fast forward to about 11 or 12, I started practicing on myself & family members. Braiding has always been my passion for as long as I could remember. I would braid for fun, I would even braid for free.
Around the age of 14 years old, I started getting paid for doing something I loved! People would always say “Oh She Braids?” “I didn’t know that!” Fast forward, I attended & graduated from Empire Beauty in 2012. Shortly after I started renting booths from different salon owners.
June 2021, I decided it was time to stop renting booths so I rented a suite. November 2021, I became a Salon Owner! From “Oh She Braids?” to “Oh She Braids!” I am so grateful to everyone that has supported me through the years. It’s been a long time coming.
I thank God for it all! I finally get to win!
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
The beauty industry has its ups & downs. Dealing with slow seasons & losing clients can be discouraging. Being patient & consistent is key. Trying to please everyone is the biggest struggle. I find comfort in knowing that I did my best with each client.
Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
I’m a Braider! I specialize in Senegalese twist, Tribal braids, and kids freestyle braids. I am fast, consistent, and reliable. I’ve been braiding for over 20 years & I still enjoy it! I’m obsessed with my progress. My passion is my purpose.
