YonniRed School

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 in my salon since 1992, and I’ve taught hands-on loc classes since 2009, long before education in this, I created the Hybrid Hands-On Method. My method combines in-person, visual, and guided practice so students can actually learn by doing—not just watching. In 2011, I released the first 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 salon suite in Atlanta and students around the world, I’ve trained 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 turn raw talent into confident, profitable experts without wasting time on fluff or theory-heavy courses that don’t translate behind the chair.
