We had the good fortune of connecting with Chariti Hill and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Chariti, where are your from? We’d love to hear about how your background has played a role in who you are today?
I am from Atlanta, GA. Oakland City to be exact right off Cascade. Growing up seeing the things you see, all you dream of is better. Better environment, better surroundings, better resources, and better sleep at night. Growing up how we did, I knew from a child I had to do something to progress and be great. No matter what it was.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
CHillLocsLLC is a growing traveling natural hair business expanding more and more daily with plenty of practice. I started doing others hair at my 8 year loc mark and never stopped. I’ve been doing my own hair for 13 1/2 years. I think what sets me apart is my timing, cleanliness, the atmosphere I bring to my clients qnd the good energy that feeds off me. I’m most proud to say that actually after my first interview I was invited to LA for hair in Beverly Hills. I’ve traveled to a total of 6 different states outside of Georgia for hair and im glad that people know my name and face. Nothing is easy. Those slow weeks make you wonder if you should go back to work. Those busy weeks make you think you can’t handle it all. But at the end of the day you understand that this isn’t only for you. It’s for your family and it’s all worth it. I’ve learned to take my time and let my work speak for itself. I’ve noticed that my clients are so happy when they leave they refer more people than me handing out cards. It’s a blessing and I’m just grateful to be able to spread love and live by name Chariti. My business isn’t like others. I don’t have strict rules and I live by respect. I’ll take care of you whenever you need as long as you respect me.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
My favorite spots in the city are Cru Soufside. I love a good lounge. I can go to the most quiet place and have a good time. Always great to check out a hawks games or falcons game. I would take them to Rancheros in Lovejoy for the best margaritas they can find.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
My shoutout goes to my three daughters. Kamari, Khelani, and Kennedy. I push so hard and I have no limit to the things I wanna do in life because of them. They are the reason I don’t feel the tiredness while I work. And the reason behind my smile everyday to continue.
