Project Description


 

Statement


 


 

At Locs of Love by Tee Hair Studio and Essentially Natural Co., our mission is to uplift, heal, and empower individuals through natural hair care, education, and culturally-rooted products. We provide more than just beauty services—we create sacred spaces where people feel seen, loved, and celebrated in their natural form.


 


 


 


 

The Problem We’re Solving


 


 

Far too often, people with natural hair feel overlooked, misunderstood, or forced to conform to beauty standards that don’t reflect who they truly are. Many also lack access to stylists who specialize in holistic, healthy hair practices or products made with their specific needs in mind. This disconnect can affect self-esteem, identity, and spiritual wellness.


 


 


 


 

Market Size & Opportunity


 


 

The global natural haircare market is booming—projected to reach over $13 billion by 2028. Black consumers, in particular, are spending billions annually on haircare, yet many still struggle to find culturally conscious salons and products. There is a growing demand for inclusive, luxury spaces and clean, plant-based products designed for textured hair.


 


 


 


 

Our Solution


 


 

Locs of Love by Tee offers expert loc and natural hair services grounded in love, culture, and care. Alongside the studio, Essentially Natural Co. provides all-natural products and luxury accessories—like herbal oils, silk pillowcases, and satin durags—that promote healthy hair and self-love at home. Together, we serve as a bridge between professional care and everyday empowerment.


 


 


 


 

Why We’re Seeking Funding


 


 

We are seeking funding to:


 

  • Expand the studio with upgraded tools, equipment, and wellness-centered features
  • Develop and launch the full Essentially Natural Co. product line
  • Hire and mentor new stylists to meet community demand
  • Create a safe, beautiful, and empowering space for our clients to grow and glow


 


 

Your support directly helps us reach these goals and pour back into our community.


 


 


 


 

Our Team


 


 

Led by founder and loctician Tee Mora, this mission is powered by passion, expertise, and purpose. As a solo business owner, Tee wears many hats—stylist, educator, product formulator, and spiritual guide. As we grow, we plan to expand the team with culturally aligned talent who share our vision.


 


 


 


 

Thank You to Our Backers


 


 

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for believing in this journey. Your support means more than funding—it’s a blessing, a vote of confidence, and a step toward reclaiming beauty and identity for those who’ve too often been left out. Together, we’re not just building a business—we’re building a legacy.
