Pay It Forward

I am going to make this short and sweet.


I am looking to bless 10 young females, who's families are struggling to make their ends meet. A lot of families have had to cut back on luxuries and that's where I want to help. I want to give my services to 10 young ladies by doing their hair for free. I will braid their hair for 1 year free of cost.

If you know a family who is struggling to pay the bills and DESERVE a helping hand submit a essay on why you think the family deserves help. I will review all essays and depending on how fast I receive replies I will contact the winners.

In your essays please give a contact phone number to you or the family so that if they are chosen I can contact them and let them know. Send essays to lolita@braidsbylolita.com


You may not be interested in helping a family but in whatever you do in life please consider paying it forward. You never know who's life you may be blessing.

*Families must live in Los Angeles CA and be able to have the young ladies dropped of at the salon.

RE: Stolen Pictures?! Yes, my pictures were stolen!

The braider who stole my picture has since removed my picture. I wish her the best in the business world but I advise her to buy a camera.

Stolen Pictures?! Yes, my pictures were stolen!



Alot of you know that I post ads on craigslist.org Well I logged into my account to post ads last night and to my surprise another braider has STOLEN my picture! Here is the picture that was stolen (my YouTube subscribers will recognize this picture I'm sure). This picture is also on my current flyer and it has also been on past flyers. This picture is very popular because it has been stolen numerous amounts of times by different braiders. I am trying to take my picture being stolen as a compliment to my work but its still wrong.

I have since posted a ad on craigslist.org addressing the braider who stole my picture but a "client" of the other braider wrote a rebuttal to me stating that she would hate for the braider to lose clientele over this so....I decided you can read all the ads for yourself guys


Here is the other braiders ad (In the link braids that's where my picture is located. Also notice where she says here are "pictures of my work below")

Here is the link to my first ad about posting my picture


Here is the rebuttal from her "client"


Here is my second (and currently last ad)


Now I didn't write this post to put her on blast, I am writing it because I don't understand how you can call yourself a professional at anything with you lie to people about your job.

At the end of the day you can steal pictures from people but like I have said before all braids have a personality and no ones braids are identical. They can be similar but never identical.

RESEARCH YOUR BRAIDER BEFORE BOOKING AN APPOINTMENT
When you are looking for a braider please do not look at the pictures in the ad and think it is theirs. Alot of braiders now a days are stealing pictures from other cities and states (by way of craigslist ads). If you like the pictures you see in a braiders ad please look at all of the pictures and see if the braiding styles match. Some braiders will post stolen pictures and mix in pictures of their own; where one picture will show beautiful braids and the other picture will show sloppy braids.
