In 2005 Shenate stepped on to the campus of PVAMU with only $200 and a dream! She had no clue of what she was building then, but she knew she wanted more. She was in a fight for her life, and she wanted to succeed while bringing her people with her. She sat in the school washeteria, 2 weeks into her freshman semester (September 2005) brainstorming how she could empower herself mentally, physically and financially. Suddenly a light bulb went off as a young man with long Locs passed by. The light bulb was an idea that said “Hey, I could do his hair, and charge like $15 bucks!” It all started with that first $15 and a dream, and now 13 years later The Loc Den has officially been in business for almost 9 years and counting! She owes it all to her faithful & beloved clientele, that trust and continue to patronize The Loc Den day after day. She is grateful for everyone who has supported her endeavors, and she’s continually committed to providing each of her customers with the absolute best Loc/natural hair services.
