Boosi on Loc:So I took the Sister Lock course. Actually, so when I took it, my mom has Sisterlocks, and I had sisterlocks at the time. Okay. Right? And so Amony, Nelson, she is the one who started pouring into me in terms of, like, encouraging me to do sisterlocks.
Boosi on Loc:She was like, you can do it. Then I was like, no. But I started playing around with my mom's hair, started doing retightenings and whatnot or retightening a few here and there. And she was like, Jay, take the class. And I was just like, absolutely not.
Boosi on Loc:But you know me. Right? I sit on stuff for so long. And then Out
Thee Real Joy:of nowhere.
Boosi on Loc:Out of nowhere. I'm like, yeah. This one I'm gonna do today.
Thee Real Joy:I was like
Boosi on Loc:Yeah.
Thee Real Joy:Okay.
Boosi on Loc:Right. Out of nowhere. I'm like, yep.
Thee Real Joy:This is
Boosi on Loc:what I'm gonna do. And I'm gonna do it. And I'm gonna do it. And that's what I did. I signed up for the course.
Boosi on Loc:It was a four day course in Baltimore. So my mom was like, alright. Let's go. Let's pack we literally took a road trip, me and the kids, my mom. She stayed in a hotel with them for four days while I went to class all four days.
Boosi on Loc:Right? So I took the class, came back home, and I was just like, okay. Here we go. So I think I had, one client already waiting for me. And so with the class, you gotta take you gotta do three heads, you know, turn it in, get it approved, dah dah dah dah dah.
Boosi on Loc:So I have my clients waiting for me. But I originally took the class because I'm like, I got a lot of kids.
Thee Real Joy:A lot of them.
Boosi on Loc:Don't do too much. Like, six. Feels like six every day. I got, you know, I got three kids. That's a lot of kids.
Boosi on Loc:You know? And so I was like, wow. These these kids are expensive. Right? And, you know, me and my husband, Manny, we like to travel.
Boosi on Loc:So he was like, hey. We gotta fund this lifestyle now. Right?
Thee Real Joy:We gonna live.
Boosi on Loc:Exactly. That's the one thing we're gonna do. We're gonna live. We're gonna live. And so I was just like, well, this is a extra means, extra stream of income.
Boosi on Loc:And so that's how I, you know, got into doing sisterlocks, and I absolutely hated it.
Thee Real Joy:I feel you.
Boosi on Loc:Yeah. Right? Yeah. I hated it. It took forever.
Boosi on Loc:My body hurt. Couldn't stand it. But I stuck with it. Stuck with it. And going into the pandemic, I had, like, probably had, like, seven to 10 clients.
Thee Real Joy:Yeah.
Boosi on Loc:I was cool with that. Like, I was doing it part time. I was working, you know, full time. By that point, I had moved back to Connecticut. Right?
Boosi on Loc:And so I was working at Achievement First as a a college counselor. Yeah. And so, I was doing that full time, and I was doing this part time after working full time, come home from traveling. Remember
Thee Real Joy:that? Yeah.
Boosi on Loc:Traveling. Yeah.
Thee Real Joy:All over. Yeah.
Boosi on Loc:Exactly. I would take a client every night in my basement. And so that's how I started off in going into the pandemic. I only had, like, seven to 10 clients, and I was content with that. I was like, alright.
Boosi on Loc:This is good.
Thee Real Joy:Coming out of the pandemic.
Boosi on Loc:What? I was like, woah. Who is this? How do we get here?
Thee Real Joy:For sure.
Boosi on Loc:And where am I going? Because my clientele, like, quadrupled.
Thee Real Joy:I was about to say, like, it seemed and I was at her house during this time, and I just remember, like, I love being in the basement with you, like, while you were doing a install or doing somebody's hair. I love the conversation. I just love the whole vibe of it. So it was kinda like I was, like, there before I was there. Right.
Thee Real Joy:Because, like, everyone just, like I knew all your clients and everything like that. But it blew up. Like, I remember just more people kept coming.
Boosi on Loc:The world shut down. Salon's
Thee Real Joy:The world shut down. People didn't know what to do with their hair. Right. People were like, what is going on?
Boosi on Loc:Mhmm. People panic.
Thee Real Joy:Panic.
Boosi on Loc:And they were like
Thee Real Joy:Either shaving their head or getting locks.
Boosi on Loc:Or getting locks. Right. And so people started reaching out more and more, and I'm like, yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Boosi on Loc:Yeah. Come. Come. Come. Come.
Boosi on Loc:Come. Next thing you know, I was, like, doing I was working full time Yes. And doing hair full time.
Thee Real Joy:I remember you have, like, your laptop on Zoom with students, you know, and then, like, still trying to navigate through. And then I remember you having a conversation with your husband. Mhmm. And you told me that you had that conversation. You were like, I think I have to go full time.
Thee Real Joy:I have to pick one. Right? Like Mhmm. I have to pick one or the other. Like and you're like, I think I'm a go this route.
Thee Real Joy:And I remember you went to Manny. Yeah. You kinda
Boosi on Loc:Yeah. Manny was just like, You gonna do what? He was like, yeah. No. That's that's ridiculous.
Boosi on Loc:And I was just like, no. I'm serious. I think I have enough clientele where I can go full time and leave my job. And he was just like, absolutely not. You know?
Boosi on Loc:Because that that nine to five, I didn't know what I was getting
Thee Real Joy:paid Yeah.
Boosi on Loc:Every two weeks. 16
Thee Real Joy:vacation time.
Boosi on Loc:Exactly. Retirement.
Thee Real Joy:Like, you gotta think about all that. Right.
Boosi on Loc:And we go into business for yourself. I don't know what I'm getting every week. I don't know who's gonna show up, how many clients I'm gonna have. But I was, like, willing to take that risk. I'm a step out on faith type of type of girl.
Boosi on Loc:I'm a step out every time. I'm a risk taker, and I'm a step out on faith every single time. But my husband sat on it for, like, two weeks, and he ended up coming back to me. He was just like, you know what? If this is what you wanna do, if you think this is the right time, who am I to stand in your way?
Boosi on Loc:Yeah.
Thee Real Joy:Let's do it. Let's do it.
Boosi on Loc:He was like, worst case scenario, you can always go back to
Thee Real Joy:work. Exactly.
Boosi on Loc:Another thing about me, I'm a keep food on the table now.
Thee Real Joy:I don't know what I gotta do.
Boosi on Loc:I don't know what I gotta do.
Thee Real Joy:But I'm a do it.
Boosi on Loc:But I'm a do it. I'm a keep food on that day without okay?
Thee Real Joy:My kids gonna eat.
Boosi on Loc:Right. My kids gonna eat. Well, if I gotta be Jamie, Ochi, or Boosie, kids gonna eat.
Thee Real Joy:Right? For sure. Oh, for sure.
Boosi on Loc:Right. And so 10/01/2021, I went into business full time, and I have never looked back. Like It was the best decision I could have ever made for myself professionally.
Thee Real Joy:And I love to say this tagline, favor ain't fair. Because when I tell you, you've never posted a ad in no newspaper. You've never had a billboard. You've never but when I tell you, people are constantly, constantly, constantly flowing in. Like, it's like
Boosi on Loc:To the very
Thee Real Joy:how have you not locked up the whole Connecticut yet? I I'm like, where are these people coming from? I know. And it's to the point where I where I'm, like, around town and I see someone, I'll be like, who do you hear? Like, how you got sister locks in?
Thee Real Joy:Like Right. You ain't been to look.
Boosi on Loc:You ain't been to the stew. You
Thee Real Joy:ain't been to the stew. Yeah. Who did that? Who did that? But, yes, it's just such a blessing just to be able to see how it took off for you.
Thee Real Joy:Yeah. Sure. And then kind of, like, explain to them, because I know I said at one point in time, your loctician, I think, wasn't taking clients, right, because of the pandemic. Right. Yeah.
Thee Real Joy:And I remember I was at the house with you, and we were in your dining room. We're just sitting there chatting, playing around, and you was like, f, do my hair.
Boosi on Loc:For sure.
Thee Real Joy:I was like, what you want me to do? Braid it? Put it in a ponytail? Because she always, like, want some braids or something. So I'm like, okay.
Thee Real Joy:What do you want me to do? She's like, no. Take this tool and retighten it.
Boosi on Loc:She was like, retighten? How do I do that? I said, girl, figure it out. Just go through each entry point until you don't have any more new growth.
Thee Real Joy:And then so what if I mess it up? I was
Boosi on Loc:like, it'll be alright.
Thee Real Joy:You say we'll figure it out.
Boosi on Loc:Yeah. Absolutely. And literally, Ev got the tool and she started retightening my hair. Wait a minute. The final lock.
Thee Real Joy:Yeah. Like, it's so weird because I just remember, like, doing it.
Boosi on Loc:Yeah. Which is crazy. Right? Because that's, like I think it's, like, even deeper than what we even realized. Right?
Boosi on Loc:Because you you talking about my hair.
Thee Real Joy:That you've invested?
Boosi on Loc:I've invested. Hundreds. Doubt?
Thee Real Joy:What I think they
Boosi on Loc:For me, at the time, it was hundreds. Okay. That was thousands. Right? Yeah.
Boosi on Loc:But at the time, I invested hundreds of you talking about my locks, my crown. Tightenings. Exactly. This has been a whole, like And here I did was handed you the tool without even thinking about it. So, again, right, going back to, like, our dynamic, our bond, our vibe, it was actually no question.
Boosi on Loc:It was it was no question, and that was something that was established. Again, I gotta take it back to Wheelock and everything that you did for me on that campus. Like, that's where that trust, that dynamic, that vibe, that energy, everything was really established there because look at how much you guys looked out for me there. Like, yeah, I make sure I ate in more ways than one. More ways than one.
Boosi on Loc:Yeah. I make sure I ate every single day.
Thee Real Joy:Okay.
Boosi on Loc:Right? So it just goes back to, like that's why I say, like, stuff is so much deeper than what we realized. Yeah. Because it was, like, no question for me to hand you that tool and be, like, get it done.
Thee Real Joy:And I feel like that expectation from you comes with a lot of things. Right? Like, when you're talking about so we're talking about your hair to now bringing me into your business.
Boosi on Loc:Yes.
Thee Real Joy:That is, like, a huge like, for someone to trust you and believe in you like that and then bring you into something they put the the grind, the money. Because I didn't take the sister life. You went and took that life. That was your investment. Mhmm.
Thee Real Joy:And to teach me everything you knew Right. And give it to me, like, I think that even looking back on that, that trust, and it's like do
Boosi on Loc:you remember how that started?
Thee Real Joy:I remember you came to me and was just like, you know, everything with Jamie starts as a joke. Everything with Jamie starts as a joke. So we were talking one day, and she was like, you about to take some of these clients.
Boosi on Loc:For sure.
Thee Real Joy:I'm like, girl, goodbye. I'm not doing that. Sure. And then she'll, like, keep kinda, you know, up. When you gonna take a client?
Thee Real Joy:Like, I'm not taking a client. Like, that's not happening. Right. So then she really came to me seriously, and they was like, hey. She gave me the time.
Thee Real Joy:She made me do it, the person. That's how I remember it.
Boosi on Loc:Well, I yes. Something like that.
Thee Real Joy:Okay.
Boosi on Loc:But initially, right, I was just, like I had just gotten into it full time, and I was, like, super overwhelmed. I wasn't even able to get back to people in a timely manner.
Thee Real Joy:Okay.
Boosi on Loc:Right? The emails, the DMs, the the the work phone, the personal phone. It was a lot. Social media. Right?
Boosi on Loc:Creating reels and all the other stuff. And I was like, Eb, I need some help. Like, I need some serious help. And you're about to take one of these clients, but I need some help. So you started creating
Thee Real Joy:content Content for you.
Boosi on Loc:And answering the business phone, the
Thee Real Joy:emails, and the DM.
Boosi on Loc:And you started setting up my consultations.
Thee Real Joy:Yes. Okay.
Boosi on Loc:Yes.
Thee Real Joy:So into and for that, that's a lot of pressure. But it's this thing of I never thought about saying no.
Boosi on Loc:And I never thought about, like, you being able to do it for me. And I didn't even, like, there was no training. I was just, like, yep, you got that.
Thee Real Joy:Log in on your phone. Yeah. Do that. And, like, that's another thing with Jamie. She will have so much trust in you that she won't give you, like, a blueprint.
Thee Real Joy:She won't she'll give you the idea and make you come up with it. Like Mhmm. What Make it yours. Yeah. Make it your own.
Thee Real Joy:Make it your own. Do what you wanna do with it. So I think just knowing that this person has this trust in you and they are just, like, waiting to see you, like, take off with this. It's like almost like this false confidence it gives you. Right?
Thee Real Joy:Like, okay. I don't know what I'm doing Yeah. But I'm a do it. Right. And I'm a figure it out as I do it.
Thee Real Joy:I'm a just do it. Right. Right? Just make it. You make it.
Thee Real Joy:Just do it.
Boosi on Loc:You got this? Yeah.
Thee Real Joy:And I think that's how things started flowing. Like like I said, I took that client, and I remember at first, I took the client who is not my client today, but then there was also other ones. And I don't think we ever talked about this. Mhmm. It would, like, hurt my feelings, like, when people would come to me one time.
Boosi on Loc:Yeah.
Thee Real Joy:And then, like, I would never hear from them again. Because I'm like, what did I do? Like, did I mess up? I know that my speed wasn't the best. Right.
Thee Real Joy:But I always
Boosi on Loc:I can't tell you, it was gonna get there. It was
Thee Real Joy:gonna get better. She would tell me. I'm like, I don't think she's gonna call me back because and then, like, no. She will. She will.
Thee Real Joy:Like, no. She will not. She's not calling me back. Like
Boosi on Loc:She will.
Thee Real Joy:But, yes, I think just that encouragement just like and I always say, Jamie think I could do anything.
Boosi on Loc:Oh, for sure.
Thee Real Joy:Jamie think I could build a house. She think I could fix a car. Yeah.
Boosi on Loc:Lay down carpet.
Thee Real Joy:Anything. So just having someone to, like, always just believe in you and see the potential, I think just kinda led us down this path
Boosi on Loc:Yeah.
Thee Real Joy:Of, like, where we are now. For sure. So I have my own LLC, the real joy of beauty, and you have Lucy on lock. But we collaborate a lot, and I think the whole the whole point of us is, like, we like to collaborate. There's, like, no competition.
Thee Real Joy:Right? Like, there's never this competitive, like Mhmm. Even, like, people will come to her and then come to me for, like, consultation.
Boosi on Loc:Right.
Thee Real Joy:And they'll end up, like, going with either or. And it's just like, oh, okay.
Boosi on Loc:Yeah.
Thee Real Joy:And when they come in, we're like, hey. How are you? Like, they're weirded out They're weird. More than that we are. They're trying
Boosi on Loc:to tiptoe Yeah. Me or you.
Thee Real Joy:They'll, like, say certain things. Like, you know, I just didn't go that route because sisterlocks. Okay. So, actually, let's break it down. So for installs, I do micro lock installs, and Jamie does the micro lock and sister lock.
Thee Real Joy:Yeah. Because she took that training, that four day training, she has a certificate. She has everything for it. I actually cannot do Sisterlocks. Right.
Thee Real Joy:So that is, like, the difference. But a lot of times, even when people pick Microlocks, Jamie sometimes will be like, okay. Well, I think Ebony is the better loctician for you because of the style you want. If you want two strand twists, she's really good at that. Mhmm.
Thee Real Joy:She likes to do more. She likes two strand twists too, but you're good at interlocking.
Boosi on Loc:Yeah.
Thee Real Joy:So you, like, handle more of those. If they want them smaller, to look like sisterlocks.
Boosi on Loc:Right.
Thee Real Joy:I feel like that's kinda how we, like, divvied it up.
Boosi on Loc:Yeah. For sure. Right. And also to our calendars too.
Thee Real Joy:And it just depends on timing and calendar.
Boosi on Loc:Available.
Thee Real Joy:But that's still such a unsaid thing. It is. Like, never sat down and I'm like, okay. So So when this conversation come in, you're gonna get one.
Boosi on Loc:Right.
Thee Real Joy:I'm gonna get one.
Boosi on Loc:Know. And
Thee Real Joy:then, like, it just
Boosi on Loc:It's always so natural. It just it flows perfectly. It ends up working out. And like you said, we don't ever feel any type of way. There's no competition.
Boosi on Loc:Like, there is no competition around these parts.
Thee Real Joy:At all.
Boosi on Loc:We want no parts of competition.
Thee Real Joy:And people will, like, say it to us as if, like, they don't understand
Boosi on Loc:Yeah.
Thee Real Joy:How it's not. Like, y'all be careful. Right. Because I've seen friends, like, moving with each other. I see friends do this, and it doesn't work out.
Thee Real Joy:So just be careful. We like
Boosi on Loc:Y'all sure y'all wanna do that?
Thee Real Joy:Yeah. Y'all sure y'all wanna share y'all it's like and it's like just a competition piece is just not it just doesn't exist.
Boosi on Loc:It doesn't exist. Absolutely not. And we talk about our differences. Right? We each bring so many different, our talents are different, different perspectives, just how we do things, how we see things.
Boosi on Loc:We have a different eye for certain things. And so that adds to the dynamic. That's why it works. You know what I'm saying? It's like even with my business, when you started doing, content for me.
Boosi on Loc:Right? Because you have, like, this eye. The one thing about Ebony or Joy, the real Joy, she will study something, will watch videos, will look at other people's contents and dissect it, and she gonna get that thing. That's why my tagline is Ebony got it. Eb got it.
Boosi on Loc:Eb do it. Yeah. Go see Eb because you study these things. You research. You look at other you listen to lives.
Boosi on Loc:I don't do all that.
Thee Real Joy:Yeah.
Boosi on Loc:I don't do all that. And so when you started doing content for me, my followers doubled. I had those videos you did that went viral that were mine
Thee Real Joy:Yeah.
Boosi on Loc:That you did them.
Thee Real Joy:You You
Boosi on Loc:know what I'm saying? And so I think that just speaks to why the dynamic you know what I mean? Us being business partners and we just go with the flow and wherever it takes us, it just takes us, because we have different talents.
Thee Real Joy:Yeah. And I think too, like, our temperament also plays in that when we talk about celebrating our differences. I think the way that we deal with conflict in the real time versus behind the scenes Right. I think that you're really good with dealing with it in the moment. Right?
Thee Real Joy:Like, keeping everything. But then, like, later on, when the doors are shut, I'm like, no. Like, we gotta turn up. Like, we got to, like
Boosi on Loc:pick up with these staples.
Thee Real Joy:Yeah. Like, this can't happen again.
Boosi on Loc:Right. Right.
Thee Real Joy:Right. So I think that that plays such a good part. Like, that's just such a good dynamic that we have as well. So
Boosi on Loc:And another thing that's unspoken is the pieces what you have you push me as a professional, right, as a business owner. It's just like, well, why don't you have this? Why aren't you doing this? Where's your policies? Because I I'm actually a bad business person.
Boosi on Loc:I lead with my heart. Right? So I'm like, oh, okay. Come on. I'll do your hair anyway.
Boosi on Loc:No. It's okay. Come on. No. It's it's alright.
Thee Real Joy:And I'm, like, in the corner, like Like, no. No, man. Like,
Boosi on Loc:I hear you, but no.
Thee Real Joy:Yeah. I get it. Right? Exactly. I definitely get it.
Thee Real Joy:But no.
Boosi on Loc:So you challenged me to be a better business person, a better business owner. You know what I mean? And to, like, really stand on business and be firm and Yeah. Hold myself accountable, hold my clients accountable for certain things. So all of that, just so y'all know, that came from the real joy.
Boosi on Loc:And now you're gonna have your clients back. Me. Yep. It was her.
Thee Real Joy:Yeah. And we about to, come out with a square link. So when y'all get to reschedule them appointments last minute, you could click that square. It's gonna say, Boosie, you go in there, you reschedule your own appointments. Okay?
Thee Real Joy:Sure. Thank you. But, yes, I think that this is just such a nice way to celebrate and to, like, really, like, sit down and, like, solidify, like.
Boosi on Loc:Yeah.
Thee Real Joy:Just because I feel like we just go through the motions every day and, like, just but we never really, like, give each other, you know, like, just, like that is huge. Like Mhmm. Going into business, I feel like we both kinda fell into entrepreneurship. For sure. I kind of, like my heart goes out to the entrepreneurs who really, like, have these, like, set plans, and they've just been going at it for so long.
Thee Real Joy:And, like, don't give up. Like, you know, like, your time is gonna be your time. Mhmm. My heart really goes out because I can't imagine, like, wanting that and, like, not being able to,
Boosi on Loc:like Yeah. Bust that door down. Right here. It's just, like Yeah.
Thee Real Joy:You know? So
Boosi on Loc:Sometimes you gotta scratch the whole plan. You gotta scratch that whole, the blueprint, the the business plan, and everything and just, like I think
Thee Real Joy:that is huge. Like, start with what you have. Mhmm. If I could, like, we could just give any, like, quick, like, what we've learned to this moment Right. I think that there's a lot of times where I've, like, walked into an empty studio.
Thee Real Joy:And in my mind, I have this vision and, like, it's probably gonna cost, like, $1,200 to to for me to do that. But I start with what I have. I have a chair. I have a mirror. And you just build on as time goes.
Thee Real Joy:So I think, like, that is a huge piece. What about you? What would be, like, your advice to give to someone who is a new business owner or someone trying to, like, bust in the door of entrepreneurship?
Boosi on Loc:Right. I think definitely, trust the process. Like and it's such a term that I think is, like, overused. It's so cliche. But it's so true.
Boosi on Loc:Like, in everything you do, you really truly have to trust the process, stay encouraged. You have to give yourself grace.
Thee Real Joy:Yeah.
Boosi on Loc:I I have to remind myself to give myself grace.
Thee Real Joy:Yeah. Like All the time.
Boosi on Loc:All the time because it's just like you will leave. You know what I mean? At the end of your day, sometimes you leave feeling so defeated. Or, you know, at the end of this class, it's like, wow. That didn't quite go how I thought how I planned for it to go.
Boosi on Loc:Right? And so sometimes you just gotta, like, give yourself grace, scratch the plan, you gotta trust the process. It's just like, stick with it. Yeah. Just stick with it.
Thee Real Joy:And I think back and trust yourself. Trust the process and trust yourself. Like, you got to this point somehow. Trust that vision that you have in your head. Right.
Thee Real Joy:Trust that voice. Trust that when you go to sleep at night, that voice is just, like like, keeping you up with that. You can see it. If you can see it, you can do it. Right.
Thee Real Joy:Just take every little steps and, like, really ask God to just order your steps on how to get there because it starts with the little things. And in the moment, it's not gonna seem like it's big, but when you look back, you're gonna be like, that step is what got me here. So Right.
Boosi on Loc:And find your people.
Thee Real Joy:Find your people. Find your village.
Boosi on Loc:Find pour into you. Right. And that's why, like, I I take I I love pouring into others because folks poured into me.
Thee Real Joy:Yeah.
Boosi on Loc:Omni, especially, really poured into me, encouraged me as a as a entrepreneur, as a business owner. And then you continuously pour into me. You have to find your people, your prayer circle. You know what I mean?
Thee Real Joy:Just keep it full. Tight.
Boosi on Loc:Yeah. Keep it tight. Keep it tight
Thee Real Joy:in this mind. Yeah.
Boosi on Loc:Yeah. Definitely. But
