Read Our Story

At ROXXLOXX™, our story begins with a passion for natural hair and a commitment to the people who wear it with pride. Founded by Master Cosmetologist Roxanne Ray, our brand was built on decades of experience, artistry, and love for locs, coils, and curls. From the very beginning, Roxanne saw the need for not only exceptional salon services but also professional-grade products that empower clients and stylists alike to bring out the best in natural hair.

What started in 1986 with Personal Affects Salon has since grown into a trusted brand recognized both nationally and internationally. In 2017, we launched LOXX™ products powered by ROXXLOXX™, bringing to market a line of high-quality hair care solutions designed specifically for locs and textured hair. Each formula reflects years of hands-on expertise and innovation—crafted to deliver results you can see, feel, and trust.

But we’re more than just products. We’re educators, stylists, and transformation specialists. Through ROXXLOXX™ Education, Roxanne has trained countless professionals, sharing techniques and systems that set new standards for loc care and natural hair health. Her courses and events bring together clients and professionals, creating a community centered on knowledge, empowerment, and confidence.

Whether you’re booking a service in our chair or using our products at home, you’re stepping into a legacy of excellence, care, and artistry. Our mission is simple: to help you embrace your natural beauty with confidence while making your hair care journey easier, healthier, and more joyful.

Welcome to ROXXLOXX™—where care for your locs is rock solid, on lock, and always inspired by you.
