If you are considering becoming a loctician, one of your first decisions is whether to pursue online training, in-person training, or a combination. This choice will shape your learning experience, your timeline, your cost, and ultimately your confidence. I am Syreeta Scott, a Licensed Trichologist and founder of Reeta's Organics. I offer both formats, and I have worked with students who have thrived in both.

In-person training offers hands-on practice with real hair, real feedback from an experienced instructor, and the ability to ask questions in real time. You are learning by doing, not by watching. Your instructor can see your technique, correct your hand positioning, adjust your tension, and help you develop muscle memory. For microlocs installation, which is a highly technical skill, this hands-on practice is invaluable.
Online training offers flexibility, accessibility, and often lower cost. You can learn at your own pace, review videos as many times as you need, and fit training around your existing commitments. Online training is ideal if you live far from a training center, if you have a full-time job or family commitments, or if you learn better by watching and reviewing. The theory, consultation skills, and business knowledge can be learned effectively online.
Many successful students combine online and in-person training. They take online courses to learn theory and business fundamentals at their own pace. Then they come for intensive in-person sessions to practice installation on real hair. This approach gives you the flexibility of online learning plus the hands-on confidence of in-person practice.
