Lansing, MI · The Next Chapter
Help me become a licensed cosmetologist.
I’ve spent years building this lab around loc and braid work, but without a cosmetology license, there’s a ceiling on what I can offer in the chair. Every contribution toward tuition gets me closer to a fuller menu, and a bigger future for this community.
Doing hair is so much more than a hobby to me. It’s something I take pride in, my creative outlet, and one of the biggest ways I’ve been able to build something of my own. It means the world to me.
Through Shawnie’s Loc Lab I’ve had the privilege to work with so many amazing people, grow in my craft and as a business owner, and see just how far a professional career in this industry could take me. Now I’m ready to take it to the next step.
Your support will help me invest in my education, which will give me the ability to expand my skills, serve my clients even better, and open doors to larger opportunities in the beauty industry.
When you donate towards my education, you’re not just helping me pay for school, you’re investing in my future and my clients for years to come.
Thank you for believing in me!

Why This Matters
This isn’t just a class.
It’s the next chapter of the lab.
A cosmetology license means I can legally expand what happens in this chair (cuts, color, chemical services) without sending clients elsewhere. It’s the difference between “loc specialist” and full-service stylist, and it changes what this lab can become.
Licensed & Credentialed
State licensure means every service in the lab is backed by real training, not just years in the chair.
One Stop For Clients
No more referring clients out for a cut or color. Book once, leave fully done.
Building What's Next
This is step one toward the salon suite, the product line, and the classes I want to teach.
Thank You
Every name here got me closer.
