The Loc’d Lounge Graduates First Cohort of SereniTeaLocsTM Certified Loc Guides, Marking a New Era in Loc Education and Professional Crown Care
The Loc’d Lounge proudly announces the successful graduation of the first cohort of SereniTeaLocsTM Certified Loc Guides, establishing a defining moment in modern loc-care education across Antigua and the Caribbean.
The inaugural ceremony, held on November 9th at The Listening Spa in Bay Gardens, celebrated six women who completed this transformative certification program. SereniTeaLocsTM is the first of its kind in Antigua, offering a comprehensive training experience that blends technical loc mastery, client psychology, service excellence, and foundational business readiness.
Created by Master Loc Guide and Founder Thea Joseph Baynes, the program was designed to elevate the standard of small and tiny loc installation and maintenance through a disciplined, structured, and highly specialized methodology.
“SereniTeaLocsTM was created to bring precision and professionalism to Crown care,” says Joseph Baynes. “Our Loc Guides are trained to perform at a high technical level, supported by mindset development, discipline, integrity, and an understanding of the responsibility that comes with caring for another person’s Crown. This first cohort represents the beginning of a growing network of confident, empowered professionals across the region.”
Throughout the program, students received guided instruction in Sacred Crown Assessment, Crown
Realignment Techniques, Client Communication, Professional Conduct, Business Foundations, Marketing Essentials, and Mindset Mastery. Their learning experience was supported by program contributors including Ms. Tarsha Henry (Finance and Business Development), Ms. Sharifa George (Marketing Education), and Mrs. Tiffany Tonge- Knowles (Program Editor and Guest Speaker).
The Loc’d Lounge also expresses gratitude to Dwayna Joseph of The Listening Spa for hosting the serene venue, Meg Total Wellness and Devoncial Ralph of Rae–el
Collections for gift certificate contributions, Moore Moments Photography for capturing the memories and Kanesha James of Basil Box for elevating the ceremony with curated culinary offerings.
As the program expands, SereniTeaLocsTM aims to build a professional network of Loc Guides who embody technical excellence, service integrity, and client-centered care. This certification now stands as a developing standard for those seeking to pursue loc-care as a profitable, values-driven career path.
