# Courtney Money > I am Courtney, a creative braider and loctician serving clients around Decatur and Atlanta. I create expressive protective styles, from stitch braids and knotless braids to freestyle loc styling and maintenance. My work combines clean parts, sleek finishes, healthy hair care, and thoughtful detail so every appointment feels personal. I help you protect your hair, express your individuality, and leave feeling refreshed, confident, and ready to show out. - Address: Stone Mountain, GA, USA - **How do I choose the right hairstyle for me?** A professional can help you consider your hair type, length, condition, lifestyle, and the look you want to create. Sharing inspiration photos and discussing your goals can make it easier to select a style that feels both flattering and practical. - **Are braids and loc styles suitable for all hair types?** Many braiding and loc services can be adapted to different hair textures and lengths, but the best approach depends on the hair's current condition and the desired style. A professional should assess the hair and recommend techniques that support comfort, appearance, and overall care. - **How should I prepare my hair before a service?** Clean, gently detangled hair is often a helpful starting point, although preparation can vary by service and hair needs. A professional can explain any recommended steps so the hair is ready to be styled with care. - **How can I protect my hair while wearing a protective style?** Protective styling works best when the hair and scalp are treated gently before, during, and after the service. Keeping the scalp clean, avoiding excessive tension, and following professional care guidance can help support the health of the hair. - **What is the benefit of professional loc maintenance?** Professional loc maintenance helps keep parts organized, supports a neat appearance, and allows the condition of the hair and scalp to be observed. Regular care can also help prevent unnecessary tangling and encourage a healthy loc journey. ## Services - [Loc Maintenance](https://geniusbrandatl.com/services/loc-maintenance.md): I maintain healthy locs with clean parts, neat retwists, and careful care. - [Freestyle Loc Styling](https://geniusbrandatl.com/services/freestyle-loc-styling.md): I create expressive freestyle loc styles while protecting length and hair health. - [Stitch Braids](https://geniusbrandatl.com/services/stitch-braids.md): I create sleek stitch braids with clean parts and a polished protective finish. - [Knotless Braids](https://geniusbrandatl.com/services/waist-length-knotless-braids.md): I provide waist-length knotless braids with additional lengths available by request. ## Contact & Social - [instagram](https://instagram.com/geniusbrandatl) ## Pages - [Home](https://geniusbrandatl.com/index.md) - [Signature Freestyle Loc Session](https://geniusbrandatl.com/services/freestyle-loc-styling.md) - [Signature Loc Maintenance](https://geniusbrandatl.com/services/loc-maintenance.md) - [Signature Stitch Braid Set](https://geniusbrandatl.com/services/stitch-braids.md) - [Waist-Length Knotless Braids](https://geniusbrandatl.com/services/waist-length-knotless-braids.md)
