Hairstylist and braider Tillie Dixson wants her clients and her more than 414,000 TikTok followers to know how to take care of their hair on their own.and social media, doesn’t just braid her clients' hair. As a licensed cosmetologist and someone who has a full-service salon, she is able to offer a bit more than the standard service – including teaching her clients.
As a cosmetology student, she hadn’t learned much about taking care of curly or textured hair. Both the curriculum and client base at her cosmetology school didn’t give her the opportunity to work on Black people's hair. So, she decided to attend Aveda Frederic’s Institute Indianapolis, where she studied cosmetology from October 2019 to December 2020.
Woodard had been looking for a permanent stylist since she moved to Indiana 20 years ago. Her search stopped when she found Dixson.When Woodard first started going to Dixson, her hair was breaking at the roots. Now, the length is coming back. When Gideon-Ikhine, 23, leaves Dixson’s hair braiding salon, she feels like a brand-new person. The last time she got her hair done she said she felt like “that girl” and related heavily to the lyrics in Beyonce’s new song “Alien Superstar.”
While offering just the braiding service is cheaper, part of the reason some of Dixson’s clients continue booking is because of the experience she provides in addition to the braiding.
