Meet Berea Welcome! I’m Berea, Founder of Locs & Color Studio, Master Loctician, Educator, and Connecticut’s premier Kris McDred Certified Master Loctician. For over 14 years, I’ve dedicated my career to mastering healthy hair, precision loc care, and luxury hair services. My work is built on excellence—not shortcuts. Every appointment is intentional, every technique is refined, and every client receives the level of care their crown deserves. I specialize in microlocs, traditional locs, precision interlocking, loc repair and reconstruction, luxury color, and healthy hair restoration. My goal isn’t just beautiful hair today..its maintaining the health, integrity, and longevity of your hair for years to come. My pricing reflects advanced education, elite certifications, continued training, and years spent perfecting my craft. When you book with me, you’re investing in expertise, precision, consistency, and an elevated experience—not just a hairstyle. I proudly serve clients who value quality over convenience and understand that luxury haircare is an investment. If you’re looking for exceptional results, professionalism, and a stylist who truly prioritizes the health of your hair, you’ve found your home. Because your crown deserves nothing less.
