The Shine J Academy

“I took the interlocking to further my understanding of interlocking techniques and to improve the quality of my work however got soooo much more. I got an in-depth understanding of hair in general, the loc-ing process, and the business part of it. Her personality is very vibrant and her teaching skills are very fine-tuned. I enjoyed the class and took a lot away from it.”

“I had a wonderful experience with Shine J’s interlocking course from start to finish. I feel so much better about my own skills and knowledge of locking hair. Shine obviously put her entire heart into this endeavor, and it’s definitely apparent. I’m well-informed and prepared to provide high-quality services to my clients. I’m even more pleased about the course content and community I gained through this process. Excellent class.”

“Shine is an amazing loctician. She is a beautiful person both inside and out. I took the retightening course to learn to maintain my locs and the course was detailed and very informative. She not only shows you how to do the interlocking method, but what to do in the event you mess up. I can definitely say that if you want a good experience, choose the shine experience!!!!!! ”

“Wonderful experience and course. Shine J truly tells all in this class & gets you right into the depth of what it takes to be a successful loctician. Definitely a game changer.”

“I Love Shine…She is knowledgeable about all hair not just locking and interlocking. She is a certified Master Cosmetologist as well. Shine is honest, personable, and caring, which I feel are important characteristics to have in life; especially dealing with others. She has been my loctician for about 4 years now and I love my hair, and the whole ambiance every time I go for my monthly retightening. My daughter and I started our locks at the same time, because she was 3 at the time it was a little difficult to find someone to maintain her locks. Shine’s interlocking classes have allowed me to maintain my daughter’s hair, as well as mine if need be. She is funny, intelligent, and such a down-to-earth person. She truly shines personally and in her craft. I look forward to not just getting the service for my hair but the whole Shine J Experience.”
