The Dream Team
The hands behind every crown
Three artists, one shared standard of healthy-hair care. Taé leads the salon as owner; Funmi and Yasmine bring their own expertise, voice and artistry to every client experience.
Founder & Salon Owner · Master Loctician
Taé
Taé founded The2TiteXperience and leads the salon as the loc artist clients know as The Loc Fairy. A Master Loctician, Licensed Cosmetologist, Certified Sisterlocks™ Consultant and Sisterlocks™ Brand Ambassador, she built the studio around healthy hair, honest guidance and an experience where every client feels seen. As owner, Taé sets the standard for the team and personally performs the salon's full loc and natural-hair menu.
Loc Artist · Microloc Specialist
Funmi
Funmi is a natural-hair specialist known for precise, patient work and personalized care. Her foundation is microloc installation through interlocking and twist methods, along with reties and long-term maintenance that help each client's hair stay neat, strong and healthy. She brings a detail-focused approach to every crown she cares for.
Licensed Cosmetologist & Traditional Locs Loctician
Yasmine
Yasmine—known as Yaz—is a San Francisco native, a Licensed Cosmetologist and seasoned Traditional Locs Loctician. She works with all hair textures and believes loc care is as much about education and relationships as it is about maintenance. Yaz brings an intentional, gentle approach that helps clients understand and feel confident in their hair.
Each stylist brings her own specialties, and the services offered can vary by artist. Choose the stylist whose work speaks to you, or select “No preference” at booking and we’ll match you with an available team member for your service.

Loved by Her Clients
I had a Sisterlock retie done by Yaz and she did an AMAZING JOB!!! Yaz took her time to ensure all of my stray hairs were secured.
Gina

Yaz did a fantastic job on my hair! And I loved that T came and checked in. The interlock method on my traditional locs looks so fresh and polished.
