Loctician Training in Maryland: Hands-On Dreadlock Training With the Seienstyle Process

By Ann-Marie Christell, Seienstyle

Boundaries are not restrictions

If you are a people-pleaser by nature, please hear this. Building a practice without clear rules is not generosity. It is slow self-erasure.

My name is Ann-Marie Christell, and I have been a professional loctician for over 26 years. For a long time, I let anyone into my salon at any time. Partners, children, friends, people taking photos without asking. I told myself I was being easygoing. In truth, I was exhausted and slowly losing my love for the work.

When I set clear boundaries, appointments only, no extra guests, hours that worked for my body, the clients I most wanted to work with respected them immediately. The boundaries did not lose me clients. They showed me which clients were mine.

If you live in Maryland and dream of becoming a loctician, I want to help you build your practice on that kind of clarity.

Why Maryland

Maryland packs a lot into a small state: the Chesapeake Bay, historic towns, mountains in the west and busy cities like Baltimore, Annapolis, Frederick and the suburbs close to Washington, D.C. It is home to people of every background and every hair texture.

In a fast-paced region like this, a calm, private space with a loctician who truly listens can be exactly what clients have been longing for.

The training

The Professional Loctician In-Person Training is a two-day, one-on-one training. I travel to you, wherever you are in Maryland, and we work side by side on live hair models.

You choose your focus before we meet. The options include dreadlocks on natural hair, dreadlocks with extensions, maintenance, mermaid dreadlocks, synthetic dreadlocks and more. Alongside the hands-on work, we talk about how you want to work: your hours, your space, your rules, and how to hold them gently and clearly.

The Seienstyle process

The method is inclusive across every hair texture, completely product-free, and gentle on your hands and your client's scalp. Dreadlocks begin to mature within two to three months.

We also cover the inner side of the work, how to be present with clients without absorbing what they carry, and how to build a brand and attract the clients you most want.

Ongoing support

Before our two days together, we meet on a video call. Afterwards, you continue with coaching calls, join the Seienstyle community and keep lifetime access to The Professional Loctician Online Course.

So, is in-person loctician training in Maryland right for you?

It may be, if you want to learn a gentle, product-free method and build a practice that protects you as well as your clients.
