Our Story

Rooted in Oakland,
devoted to the crown

The2TiteXperience is an owner-led Oakland loc studio powered by three artists: Taé, Funmi and Linda. 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. 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 Linda because each artist adds valuable experience, perspective and connection — and each brings her own specialties to the chair.
