Hey, I’m Tatiana, the CEO of Braids That Speak Salon and the creator of Belle Microlocs®
You see…I believe that every hair stylist should earn 6 figures and can do it!
Despite having over a decade of experience doing hair as hobby, I too was stuck in the cycle of ‘’low pay, long hours’’ struggling to make 1000 USD / week.
And as a result, I was overworked and burnt out.
Moreover, I was tired of living paycheck-to-paycheck and had no financial stability.
And even though I knew things had to change…I didn’t know how.
But.
You see, I always loved experimenting with different hairstyles and techniques…
And during one such experiment, I created something that would change the course of my entire life : Belle Microlocs®
Belle Microlocs® was an instant hit and went viral overnight.
And because Belle Microlocs® is loc method that is low maintenance, versatile, great for women with low density hair, thinning hair, and anyone who wants to start off with instant length. These qualities attracted black women of all ages and tastes.
That allowed me to serve a much larger clientele than I ever imagined and you can too because this service is here to stay.
The demand for Belle Microlocs® increased so much that I had to hire a team of 8 stylists just to keep up with the demand.
People loved it so much that they started coming in from different states to my salon just to get their hair done!
And before long, I had no option but to expand to two more locations in addition to my main hair studio in Maryland.
Since then, I grew my business from a one-person operation to a 7 figure hair business with salons in 3 different states - ALL in a span of 3 years.
And I’ve also helped over two dozen of fellow hairstylists to learn Belle Microlocs so they too can earn 6 figures while working 3 - 4 days a week.
And in the process, I realized that increasing your income as a hairstylist was…easy.
You see, the quickest and most effective solution to charge higher rates as a hairstylist without hustling is rather simple.
All you need is a High-in-Demand, Low-in-Supply skill ( HDLS )...like Belle Microlocs®.
You see….a HDLS skill is not something that anyone can offer.
It can ONLY be offered by experts with the right knowledge and techniques.
And by mastering a HDLS skill and offering it to your clients, you set yourself apart from the sea of other hairstylists - and position yourself as an expert who charges premium rates.
Like how despite the huge demand, Belle Microlocs® can ONLY be offered by Belle Microlocs consultants.
This combination of positioning and HDLS skill is the foundation to my 7 figure business.
& that’s how Belle Microlocs® consultants make 6 figures a year while serving 3 - 4 clients a week.
And unlike other solutions that may require a lot of time, money, or effort, mastering the Belle Microlocs® technique is relatively easy.
With the right resources and guidance, you can master the art in a short period of time, and start offering it to your clients right away.
And that's why I created the Belle Microlocs® online course.
So that I can help my fellow hairstylists, braiders and locticians like you to break out of the ‘’underpaid and overworked’’ loop and make 6 figures a year while working less.

Janai:
"Learning how to do Belle Microlocs from Braids That Speak has been super rewarding. I have been braiding and maintaining locs for some years, but nothing compares to all the things I have learned while working with Tati for the past 8 months. Although I attended cosmetology school and became a licensed cosmetologist, I did not want to work at a traditional hair salon. The fact that there are so many women who need hair care within this specialty helped me make my decision in choosing to work here. I wanted to change lives and learning Belle Microlocs helped me to do just that! I love the fact that I get to be a part of so many different women’s hair journeys. It is amazing. I love being a part of the Belle Microlocs community."

"Working for Braids That Speak has been one of the best experiences I’ve had in the work field and in a salon in general. My boss, Tatiana, is the best I’ve had yet, she’s super kind, informative and always helps us if we have any questions or concerns. I’ve been doing hair and locs since I was 11 but the extra knowledge I’ve gained on the different types of hair textures and densities has been a huge plus! Doing Belle Microlocs has been a blessing. Being able to help so many different women look and feel their best has made a world of difference not only for me but for them as well. I love it here!"
