Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Arliscia Dial. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Arliscia, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. What’s the kindest thing anyone has ever done for you?

The kindest thing someone has ever done for me is believed in my dream. I’m very hard on myself and I often dim my light so that I’m not in a place where I stand out . I have ppl around me who believe in me , support me, push me and clap for me . That makes my heart smile .

Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers?

My name is Arliscia and I’m 35 and a mother of 3. I’m also known as Liscia and as AD The Loctician. I’m a licensed natural hairstylist. I specialize in all things locs . My goal is to make locs sexy and beautiful. My two businesses are called Salon 2131 & Mirrored Beauty .

Learning and unlearning are both critical parts of growth – can you share a story of a time when you had to unlearn a lesson?

I had to unlearn that everyone coming up with you is happy for you. It hurt really bad but it was definitely a lesson learned .

Have you ever had to pivot?

I started out with lashes and lipgloss and wanting to do all hair . I finally figured out that when it comes to hair you have to pick a area of specialty. Locs is my area. I started doing locs in 2003 . I started with my mother’s hair .
