Charlotte hasn’t always been known as a place that embraced African-Americans who wore natural hairstyles. Indeed, many used to believe that rocking a ’fro or some dreadlocks made it tough to land a job in Banktown. But these days, people feel free to embrace process-free styles ... and that makes Lockstar the right salon at the right time. Located in a quaint house/office in Plaza Midwood, the stylists at Lockstar maintain the natural look of hundreds of heads in Charlotte — and they also work to teach folks how to keep their manes naturally healthy. Plus, they do “white-boy dreadlocks,” too. 2132 McClintock Road. 704-334-6624.
