This Is Me

My Story & journey

My name is Maryam — Certified Microloc Specialist and founder of Proud With My Locks.
For over 7 years, I’ve had the honor of helping women, men, and children embrace the beauty, strength, and identity found within their natural hair.

My loc journey began long before I ever touched a client’s crown. It started with a deep love for textured hair — its power, its heritage, and its ability to tell a story without a single word. What began as a passion soon became a calling.

Today, I’m committed to providing professional, personalized, and heart-centered services where every client feels seen, respected, and valued. From consultation to maintenance, I guide each person with intention, care, and excellence — ensuring healthy, lasting locs that honor who they truly are.

At Proud With My Locks, every crown matters.
Every journey matters.
And I’m here to help you write yours.

My Values

& Philosophy

My mission is simple: to celebrate every crown with care, intention, and love.
I believe natural hair is more than a style — it is identity, culture, confidence, and a powerful expression of self-worth.

At Proud With My Locks, I honor the uniqueness of every head of hair. Whether installing microlocs, maintaining a journey that already began, or guiding clients through education and care, I bring professionalism, patience, and passion to every appointment.

I strive to create a warm, safe environment where clients feel uplifted and understood. My goal is not only to install or maintain your locs — but to empower you to feel proud of the beauty that is already yours.

Healthy hair.
Healthy confidence.
Healthy journey.
That is the heart of Proud With My Locks.
