Meet the Business Owner: Lethia G.
At thirteen, Lethia moved to Mukilteo, Washington. While balancing Mariner High School with Everett Plaza Beauty School, she discovered her gift for connecting creativity with compassion. By sixteen, she had endured the unimaginable loss of both
her mother and father. What could have ended her story instead refined her: through grief she found purpose, and through solitude she found God. That unshakable faith became the compass that guides her leadership. After time with family in Los Angeles and hands-on training at Shear Joy Salon, she returned to Washington and opened her first salon in 2003. In 2012, with her cosmetology degree from Everett Community College, she transformed that vision into Tangles and Locs Salon and Spa—a multicultural haven that grew from humble beginnings. Specializing in Natural Hair, Curly Hair, Ethnic Hair, Braiding and Locs. The equation was never luck: faith, consistency, and the belief that when you pour love into people, growth follows.
