Why It Matters

Not all microlocs are created equal.

There are locticians who twist extensions on. There are locticians who braid them in. And then there is the interlocked premade method — the technique that integrates seamlessly with your natural hair and lasts for years.

01
The Interlocked Method
Premade microlocs are individually interlocked into your natural hair — not glued, not twisted, not braided. This creates a seamless, permanent bond that grows with you and maintains its integrity for years.
02
Your Natural Hair First
Every install begins with establishing microlocs on your natural hair — a meaningful service in itself. The extensions are added to that foundation, creating length and volume that looks and feels seamless.
03
Fully Custom to You
Your hair density, natural texture, desired length, loc size, and custom color — every variable is considered. No two installs are the same because no two people are the same.

Meet Your Loctician

People find me in the middle of their becoming.

My name is Nyasha. I'm a Microloc Extension Specialist based in Southfield, Michigan — and one of a small few locticians in the world practicing the interlocked premade microloc method. Not twisted on. Not braided in. Interlocked — the technique that truly lasts.

Nyasha

But the hair is only part of it. Every client who sits in my chair is in the middle of something big — a new chapter, a new self, a decision to finally center themselves. That's the sacred space I hold. That's what Nurtured means.

Nyasha working at UCLA

I also specialize in supporting those healing from hair loss — including alopecia. Through custom installations, handmade loc toppers, and custom frontals, I create solutions that are as unique as your journey.

Services

Two paths to your perfect locs.

Both services use the same expert interlocking installation — seamless, secure, and designed to promote healthy hair growth and natural loc maturation from day one. The only difference is size.

"I absolutely love my hair journey! I just had my first re-twist on my loc extensions, my hair looks healthy and growing wonderfully. Nyasha does an amazing job, making me feel at ease throughout the process. Her communication skills are great, and she makes every step exciting and delightful."

— Michelle Osborne
★★★★★

"From the moment I sat in her chair, I could tell I was in the hands of someone truly special. Nyasha has a soulful, caring presence and takes the time to truly listen. She honored my vision while guiding me toward a healthier relationship with my hair. The result? Not just the dream hairstyle I'd been imagining for years, but a deeper sense of confidence and connection to myself."

— Kiare Fishburne
★★★★★

"I had my microlocs installed and I truly couldn't be happier. Nyasha did a beautiful, precise job, working within my time constraints while being realistic and transparent about what was best for my hair. She prioritizes her clients' hair health above everything, and the experience felt intentional, comfortable, and uplifting from start to finish. Highly recommend if you're looking for someone skilled, honest, and truly invested in your hair journey."

"I loved my experience with Nurtured Natural Hair & Locs! I had been thinking about microlocs for a while but was nervous about choosing the right person. The consult and installation did not disappoint. Nyasha is lovely — she puts you at ease and makes sure you understand each step. I am loving my microlocs! My only regret was that I did not do this sooner."

— Sheila Foster
★★★★★

"Honestly, this was one of the best, most restorative salon experiences I've ever had. Nyasha was so lovely and welcoming — from the initial virtual consult I was immediately put at ease. Her people-first approach is readily apparent, and she handled my hair with such care and patience. I'm so happy to have found an incredibly skilled loctician who has created such a loving and amazing space for both people and their strands to unwind and thrive."

— CJ Craft
★★★★★

"Nyasha is a true professional. We had a productive consultation over the phone and she kindly answered every question I had. She kept my needs in mind and was conscious of how we used our time. I felt at home in the studio, and she extended so much kindness. It did not feel like a regular get-in, get-out service. I've had my microlocs for ~6 months and have been going back for reties. Would rate 10 stars."

— Ochi Nwokoro
★★★★★

"My session with Nyasha was nothing short of amazing. This was the first time ever a hair care professional has washed my hair with this level of care and patience. She is a rare gem and made the entire experience calming, therapeutic and nurturing. She also did an amazing job restoring my locs after I had been maintaining them myself for about a year. The result was just stunning — she brought my locs back to life."

— Temecia Wilks
★★★★★

"NurTured Natural Hair & Loc is an upscale salon featuring a stylist with a gentle touch. From CA to NYC, Nyasha Hair Artistry was recently featured at UCLA Fowler Museum in Los Angeles. 'The House Was Too Small' live motion exhibit beautifully illustrated how the powerful designs of braid art magnificently connect all of us."

A Personal Note

The Artist Behind Nurtured

Nurtured is more than a loc service. It is my healing practice, my artistry, and my way of caring for people through one of the most intimate parts of their identity: their hair.

My name is Nyasha, and I am a natural hair artist, microloc extension specialist, and creative whose work lives at the intersection of beauty, healing, culture, and transformation.

Before Nurtured, my path moved through art, film, global community work, real estate, and storytelling. All of that lives in my hands now. Every install is designed with the eye of an artist, the patience of a craftsperson, and the care of someone who understands that a loc journey is never just about hair.

I specialize in interlocked microloc and loc extensions, custom loc solutions, and supportive hair care for clients beginning again, growing their confidence, healing from hair loss, or finally choosing the crown they have imagined for years.

My approach is intentional and nurturing from start to finish. I care deeply about using clean, thoughtful products, gentle techniques, scalp support, and natural healing practices that honor your body, your nervous system, and your long-term hair health.

When you sit in my chair, you are not rushed. You are listened to. You are supported. You are guided with honesty, artistry, and care throughout your loc journey.

Nurtured is not just about giving you locs. It is about helping you feel at home in yourself.

Common Questions

Everything you need to know

What makes your method different from other microloc extensions?
Most locticians twist or braid extensions onto natural hair — methods that look good initially but often loosen, slip, or fail over time. The interlocked premade method integrates each loc individually into your natural hair using an interlocking technique, creating a bond that is seamless, long-lasting, and grows with your hair naturally.
How long does the install take?
A full microloc extension install takes 2 or more days depending on your hair density, loc size, and desired length. This includes establishing your natural hair first, then adding the extensions. This is intentional — we never rush the process. Your result is worth every hour.
What does a full install cost?
Installs start at $2,800 and are fully customized based on your hair density, desired length, loc size, and color. Your consultation will include a personalized quote. Payment plans are available through Klarna, and a 50% deposit is required to reserve your dates. Virtual consultations are $75 · In-person consultations are $99 — both applied toward your install.
Do I need to be local to Detroit?
Not at all. Clients travel from across the country — New York, Florida, and beyond — for this service. Virtual consultations make it easy to plan everything before you arrive. We'll help make your trip as smooth as possible.
What hair type or length do I need?
We work with all natural hair textures. Ideally 3–4 inches of natural hair length is recommended to start extensions — though minimum requirements will be discussed during your consultation. I also specialize in supporting those healing from alopecia and hair loss, with custom handmade loc toppers and frontals available to create a seamless, beautiful result. The consultation is the best place to explore what's possible for you.
How do I maintain my locs after the install?
Maintenance is simple and low-fuss — exactly what microlocs are designed for. You'll receive full aftercare guidance and can book retie maintenance appointments as needed. Most clients come in every 8–10 weeks for a retie and wash service.
