Loctician Training in Oklahoma City: Hands-On Dreadlock Training With the Seienstyle Process
Sep 30, 2023By Ann-Marie Christell, Seienstyle
Warm, but clear
When you spend a whole day with someone and they share things they have never told anyone, a real closeness can form. That is part of the beauty of this work. But it also means some clients will want more from you than an appointment can hold. They may want to become friends, or treat you as a free therapist, or expect you to be available at any time.
My name is Ann-Marie Christell, and I have been a professional loctician for over 26 years. I have learned to keep my professional container gently and clearly intact. Not because I do not care, but because I do, and because the work only stays sustainable when there is a structure around it.
Why Oklahoma City
Oklahoma City is a friendly, close-knit place, with neighbourhoods like Bricktown, Midtown, the Plaza District and Paseo, and a growing creative scene. People there tend to value warmth and community.
There are many people in Oklahoma City who have been dreaming of their dreadlocks for years. In a community where word travels and relationships matter, a loctician who is both warm and clear can build a loyal, lasting practice.
What our two days together look like
Before we meet, we have a one-on-one video call to understand your experience and agree on your focus. You choose from dreadlocks on natural hair, dreadlocks with extensions, maintenance, mermaid dreadlocks, synthetic dreadlocks and more.
Then I come to you in Oklahoma City, and we work side by side on live hair models for two days. Alongside the technique, we talk through real situations: the friend who wants free dreadlocks, the client who stays for hours after the appointment, the messages late at night. We practise how to respond kindly and clearly.
Frequently asked questions
Will setting boundaries push clients away? In my experience, the clients you most want to work with respect them. The boundaries help show you which clients are truly yours.
What does the method offer? Dreadlocks on every hair texture, made without products, gentle on hands and scalp, and beginning to mature within two to three months.
Do we cover pricing too? Yes. Charging fairly is part of a healthy relationship with your clients.
What support continues afterwards? Coaching calls, the Seienstyle community, and lifetime access to The Professional Loctician Online Course.
So, is in-person loctician training in Oklahoma City right for you?
It may be, if you want to learn a gentle craft and build warm, healthy relationships with clients that last for years.
