Nia Menerville is the founder and CEO of The Loc God, a natural hair-care brand with $7,131,637.50 in sales from November 11, 2019 to March 1, 2022.

She didn’t have a smooth start. She started out styling hair terribly in an African hair braiding shop at age 17. Again, she started off doing her own hair and that of her mother’s hair at home. Eventually, she had the opportunity to work in a hair braiding shop and did hair for 3 years.

Nia started her own product line Loc God Products when she was 19 by perfecting her skills.
