Ep. 280: Everything You’re Doing Wrong with Your Locs | Tips from a Master Loctician - Emily Prince

In this week’s episode of the Friends in Beauty Podcast, I’m sitting down with Emily Prince, Founder of the luxury loc studio Privacy Parlor, to talk about what it really means to take up space as a beauty pro. We cover everything from grieving while running a business, to the emotional labor of being a Black woman in the beauty industry, to why locs are still not fully included in mainstream beauty conversations. Plus, Emily shares the biggest mistakes people make with their locs—and how to avoid them.

🌿 Topics We Cover:

• Taking up space in your personal + professional life

• Healing through grief as an entrepreneur

• Why locs are still excluded in beauty conversations

• Loc education: mistakes, myths + what clients should know

• Building Privacy Parlor from scratch

• Mindset shifts for showing up fully as yourself

📌 Subscribe for more interviews that inspire beauty pros to be seen, heard, and PAID.
