Our Philosophy
At The Loc Artistry by AV, we believe that healthy locs begin with a healthy you. Loc care is not just about what happens in the salon—it’s about caring for the total person. When your mind, body, and spirit are in balance, your hair thrives.
We build strong foundations for your loc journey by prioritizing wellness, educating and guiding you with the right tools, and holding you accountable for consistent care at home.
Our holistic approach is supported by the full ecosystem of our sister brands:
-
Wellness RN IV Hydration & Vitamins, co-founded by Amoy, provides IV Vitamin Drips and Shots to replenish and restore the body from within.
-
Sankofa Wellness Community nurtures grounding, connection, and spiritual balance.
-
Products by AV, our all-natural hair and skin care line, offers safe, effective solutions to hydrate, moisturize, and protect your locs between visits.
This vision is led by Amoy Virgo, MSOL, BSN, RN, Loctician, Certified Microloc Consultant & Instructor, who brings over 20 years of nursing expertise and a passion for holistic wellness. She created Loc Artistry as more than a salon—it’s a sanctuary where hair health and total person wellness meet.
At Loc Artistry, we honor your hair while caring for the person behind it. Because when you are well, your locs will be too

FEATURED SERVICES

Traditional Starter Locs
Begin your loc journey with expertly crafted coils or twists, tailored to your hair texture and desired style. Perfect for building a strong foundation for your locs.

Microloc Retightening
Ensure your microlocs stay flawless with precise retightening. Appointment time is based on the number of weeks since your last service, so accurate scheduling helps maintain your loc health and appearance.
