Hi, I’m Qiana but most people know me as "Yonni Red"

Meet The Founder, Licensed Stylist/ Loc Educator

First I'm a licensed hairstylist since 1998. Been a loc teacher since 2002. So I also help locticians master retwisting, styling, and client care—faster than any traditional beauty school ever could so they can open a sustainable business. I help barbers do speedy retwist that last longer than natural hair industry trends. I’ve been teaching and doing locs since 1992, and I’ve taught hands-on loc classes since 2009, long before education in this, I created the Hybrid Hands-On Method, a Learn by Doing with Real-Time Feedback way of teaching so locticians and barbers can learn by doing—not just watching, like most online transformation courses. In 2011, I released the first ever youtube tutorial from a loctician featuring the full style instruction. My styles like "The Dreaded Man", & "Basketball Hoop have gone viral several times! Over 10 million views on instagram the week I'm writing this! I’m also the author of The Art of Retwist, a foundational guide to one of the oldest and most effective retwisting techniques in the industry—one that allows you to work faster, cleaner, and more confidently behind the chair. My work has been featured on major sets and productions, including J. Cole’s “Middle Child” video, and I’ve done loc styling for film, TV, and editorial shoots. I was also the first to put a full loc styling tutorial on YouTube, bringing pro-level techniques to a global audience before it was cool. With a proven hands-on teaching style & students around the world, I’ve certified hundreds of locticians—especially part-timers and beginners—how to turn their natural skills into consistent income and loyal clients. My programs are built around one mission: To help locticians and barbers create financial stability with their talent for locs!
