Hair salon, Hair extension technician, Hairdresser in Union, NJ
Aminah Green didn't stumble into loc work — she built more than twenty-five years of experience in it, long enough to earn the title "Master Loctician" and the trust of a client base that keeps her fully booked. From her studio at 1235 West Chestnut Street in Union, operating as Tighten Up Loc Studio, Aminah has made locs her specialty and her signature: retwists, new loc starts, and the ongoing maintenance that keeps a client's locs healthy over years and even decades of growth. A $50 consultation fee, credited toward the first service, signals something about how she works — this isn't a walk-in-and-go operation, but one built around understanding a client's hair, scalp, and goals before any work begins. That care shows up in the numbers: a 4.9-star rating across 59 reviews, the kind of consistency that only comes from technique refined over a long career rather than a few years of practice. Locticians who reach master-level status typically develop an eye for the subtle differences between hair types and loc ages that determine whether a retwist strengthens a loc or stresses it. For clients across Union County and beyond who have committed to the multi-year journey of growing and maintaining locs, finding a stylist with Aminah's depth of experience is less like finding a service provider and more like finding a long-term partner in their hair care story.
