Omalocs Beauty Founder Oma Wins Grant Supporting the Future of Beauty Access and Community

May 29

At Omalocs Beauty, our mission has always been bigger than hair.

What started as a platform centered around microlocs and Sisterlocks has grown into a movement focused on visibility, access, education, and opportunity for people navigating the loc journey.

That’s why we’re excited to share that our founder, Oma, was recently recognized and awarded funding support through HerSuiteSpot, an organization dedicated to helping women entrepreneurs grow and scale impactful businesses. The feature highlights the work being done through Omalocs Beauty to make the microlocs space more accessible, connected, and discoverable for both clients and locticians alike.

Building More Than a Beauty Platform

For years, people interested in microlocs and Sisterlocks have faced the same challenges:

Struggling to find qualified locticians
Limited access to trusted educational resources
Lack of centralized inspiration and hairstyle ideas
Minimal visibility for talented professionals in the space
Feeling isolated during their loc journey

Omalocs Beauty was created to solve that.

From our growing Get Microlocs Near Me directory featuring thousands of locticians, to our hairstyle lookbooks, educational content, and growing digital community, the goal has always been to build a home for the microlocs community — one that makes discovery easier and helps elevate the artistry and professionalism within the space. This recognition from HerSuiteSpot is a reminder that the work matters.

Why This Grant Matters

Women-owned businesses, especially businesses led by women of color, often face significant barriers when it comes to funding and access to capital. HerSuiteSpot’s HerRise initiative was created to help bridge that gap by supporting entrepreneurs building impactful businesses and communities.

For Omalocs Beauty, this support helps fuel the next phase of growth as we continue working toward expanding the Omalocs Beauty platform, increasing visibility for microlocs locticians, creating more educational resources for the community, improving discoverability for consumers searching for services, building a trusted destination for microlocs inspiration and culture.

As the microlocs category continues to grow, we believe the community deserves infrastructure and innovation that reflects just how impactful this movement has become.

The Future of the Microlocs Community

Microlocs are no longer a niche conversation. More people are embracing locs as a lifestyle, beauty choice, and expression of identity. And with that growth comes the need for better resources, stronger community connection, and platforms designed specifically with this audience in mind. That’s what we’re building at Omalocs Beauty. Not just a website, not just a directory, but an ecosystem for discovery, education, inspiration, and opportunity within the microlocs and Sisterlocks community.
