“ Consultant Monalisalocs^TM certified? My co-worker? My friend? A passionate person? A perfectionist lock enthusiast? All that at once?

‍We have been working together for over 8 years. 8 years now that she has been going back and forth between Barbados and our beautiful island of Martinique We each have our place in this collaboration that unites us. She meticulously takes care of the installations and installations when she is in Martinique and when she leaves, I take over.

‍We trust each other and have the same vision of the quality of work to offer “

“ Lisa always wanted to create A locking technique that requires little maintenance and little time investment while having versatility and elegance. Her journey began 17 years ago when she invested in herself by setting up. Following her installation, she followed her first certification training in locks in the United States.
She then opened her salon in Barbados. and started to develop its customer base there.

I met him when I wanted to install my locks andThere was no no one in Martinique or Guadeloupe who proposed it.
‍Having already lived in Barbados, I looked for a consultant there and came across Lisa. Contact was made with her right away.

I travelled with my husband and my 6-month-old baby and When I came back I FINALLY had my locks. Problem: Nobody in Martinique could maintain them...So I asked Lisa if she would agree to Come and work in Martinique, 1 time per month.
She accepted and we gradually worked together to develop its business on our island

‍1 year later, I also trained in order to be able to replace Lisa if one day she could not come to Martinique (which happened with covid). During this period, Lisa had time to create your own locking technique, patent it and set up a training course in hairdressing locks to allow anyone from Martinique or the Caribbean who wishes to do so to train without having to travel to France or the United States

Today, Lisa and I work together and describe ourselves as not just associates, but as actually part of the same family “

“I met Clarisse in 2014 and we instantly felt a Strong connection between us, As if we had known each other forever

‍I remember picking her up at her house and we were going to buy porridge together very early in the night. I started doing my hair at 4 am. from morning until midnight and this for 2 days in a row, so we had to get some strength for the intense hairstyling day that awaited us.

‍She came to Barbados because there was no one at that time to make her the very particular type of locks she wanted. So she came to do her installation and came back every month to be able to do her tightening for about 6 months. One day she asked me if I wanted to come to Martinique. to propose this service and this unique technique that no one knew or at least did not yet offer “

“In 2017, I created MonalisaLocsTM 🎉

It took me a bit of time to launch my business but covid arrived and gave me the little push I needed to launch my own brand on the market. When I told Clarisse that I had launched my brand and registered my own locs technique, she was just as excited and thrilled as I was. We have been working together for 8 years now and we are both really very involved in MonalisaLocsTM, which we consider to be our baby.

We went through the stages one by one and I thank God every day for allowing me to meet and get to know Clarisse.
I have never met someone so true, honest, pleasant, pleasant, hard-working, ambitious and such a beautiful person, inside and out

God really blessed me with this encounter and Clarisse became not only my true and best best friend, but also someone I consider to be my family. Since that day, we have become a little better every day than the day before thanks to God.

We are the Champions. She and I are the Champions of the World and beyond! “

About Lisa, Founder Monalisalocs

Why did I create Monalisalocs™?

Why did I create Monalisalocs™? “I've always wanted to create a locs technique that's affordable, low-maintenance, and less time consuming, but with high-end appeal and a high quality of focus that gives the Royales a complete luxury experience.”
concevoir une technique de locs qui libère les femmes de la contrainte capillaire, sans compromis sur l’élégance, le confort et l’exigence de qualité. Nous voulions une méthode qui demande peu d’entretien, qui permette de gagner du temps au quotidien, tout en offrant un niveau de finition élevé, pensé dans les moindres détails.
Une technique capable de s’adapter au rythme de vie des femmes actives, exigeantes, qui souhaitent être impeccables sans y consacrer des heures.

What are Monalisalocs™?

“Monalisalocs™ is a locking technique and a brand that was created in 2017. Monalisalocs™ ne sont ni des vanilles, ni des nattes, ni des microlocks, ni des sisterlocks.

Les Monalisalocs™ sont une technique de locs fines haut de gamme, pensée pour les femmes qui souhaitent une coiffure élégante, durable et facile à vivre.
Conçues pour s’adapter aux cheveux texturés caribbéens, les Monalisalocs™ offrent un rendu fin, naturel et raffiné, tout en nécessitant très peu d’entretien.
Un simple resserrage mensuel suffit, sans produits ni routines contraignantes.
Mais les Monalisalocs™ vont bien au-delà de l’aspect esthétique.
‍
Elles incarnent une philosophie de liberté capillaire : moins de temps passé à gérer ses cheveux, moins de dépenses en produits, et plus de sérénité au quotidien.
Chaque installation est réalisée selon un protocole précis, avec une attention particulière portée à la structure, à la régularité et à la durabilité des locs.
Le résultat : une coiffure qui évolue avec élégance dans le temps, sans compromis entre praticité et sophistication.

Les Monalisalocs™, ce sont des locks pensées comme un investissement :
un choix conscient pour celles qui veulent être toujours bien coiffées, sans effort, et avec une allure résolument haut de gamme.
