My name is Lashawn though most people know me as Echo.
I’m a Mother,Wife, and Woman of GOD
-
I have been a professional braider for over 23 years.
-
I decided to specialize exclusively in Braiddowns, four years ago, after
recognizing the DEMAND for braiddowns as a standalone service.And the Lack of Salons/Braiders that'll offer braiddowns as such.
-
Conversations with my clients revealed to me that the the many braiders are rendering the service poorly.
-
It became clear to me that there's little to no educational resources available to properly teach Braiddown techniques.
THAT CHANGES NOW!
Finding someone who can teach you the craft, the business, and the client experience all in one place is rare — and that’s exactly what you’ve found here.
I’ve been braiding for 23 years, taking clients for 20, and creating content nearly as long. A braider who can’t market herself or retain clients is leaving money on the table.
What sets this apart is how I teach. My autistic brain is wired for pattern recognition — I don’t just show you one way, I prepare you for multiple scenarios and textures so you’re never caught off guard.
We build your foundation from the start so you never have to pivot later. Customer service, retention, and marketing aren’t extras — they’re essentials. When your foundation is solid, there’s no slow season.
No gatekeeping. No fluff. Just everything I wish someone had poured into me. The craft. The business. The character. All in one place.
The value will always exceed the price. Are you ready to invest in yourself?
