Our Story

Rooted in Oakland,
devoted to the crown

The2TiteXperience is an owner-led Oakland loc studio powered by three artists: Taé, Funmi and Yasmine. Each brings a distinct voice and set of strengths; together they share one standard for healthy hair, thoughtful education and care that makes every client feel seen.

Founder & Salon Owner

Taé sets the standard; the team brings it to life

Known to clients as The Loc Fairy, Taé founded The2TiteXperience and leads it as salon owner and Master Loctician. As a Sisterlocks™ Brand Ambassador and Certified Consultant, she brings a deep technical foundation to the studio and sets its standard for healthy hair, clear guidance and an unrushed client experience.

The studio is not built around one pair of hands. Taé brought together Funmi and Yasmine because each artist adds valuable experience, perspective and connection. Every artist brings her own specialties and services to the chair, and Taé personally performs the salon's full menu — so you can choose the stylist whose approach connects with you.
