Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I'm Yesha, a master loctician of 17+ years. I built LocSync because I was drowning. THE PROBLEM I LIVED: For nearly two decades, I've specialized in complex loc repairs - the work most locticians won't touch. Damage, thinning, breakage, bald coverage. I love the craft. I love the transformations. But I was spending 20+ hours EVERY WEEK answering the same questions: • "How much for starter locs?" • "Can you fix damaged locs?" • "What's your availability?" • "Do you do instant locs?" At 7am. During appointments. At midnight. At 2am. I couldn't turn off my phone. Couldn't enjoy family dinners. Couldn't be present anywhere. The guilt of unanswered messages was crushing. THE SOLUTIONS THAT FAILED: I tried hiring receptionists - they didn't understand locs. "What's the difference between interlocking and palm rolling?" Blank stares. I tried every AI chatbot on the market. They all failed because they're trained on random internet articles that give conflicting, often WRONG loc advice. One told a client to use beeswax (NEVER). Another recommended weekly retwists (way too often). Generic solutions don't work for specialized crafts. THE SOLUTION I BUILT: If it doesn't exist, build it. LocSync is the first AI receptionist trained on professional loc expertise - not Wikipedia, not random YouTube comments, but 17 years of real knowledge. It can: • Explain why locs thin and how to prevent it • Recommend proper maintenance schedules based on texture • Answer questions about methods, repairs, and styling • Book appointments automatically • Handle VOICE CALLS (not just chat) • Respond to Instagram DMs, texts, and website chat • Work 24/7 while you sleep WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT: 🎯 Built BY a loctician, FOR locticians (not tech bros who Googled "dreadlocks") 🎯 Voice + chat in one system (most AI skips phone calls entirely) 🎯 Trained on professional expertise, not internet noise 🎯 $125/month vs $3,000/month for human receptionist 🎯 Never calls in sick, never quits, never needs training THE BIGGER PICTURE: This isn't just about booking software. This is about recognition. Locticians have always been an afterthought. Generic "salon software" treats us like we do haircuts. We're always adapting tools built for someone else. LocSync is the FIRST AI receptionist built specifically for locticians. This proves our craft is specialized enough to warrant dedicated tools. This opens doors for more loc-specific innovation. Whether you use LocSync or not, this is a milestone for every loctician who's ever felt invisible in the tech world. WHAT'S NEXT: Beta testing is live now. Full launch today. This is just the beginning. I'm building the ecosystem locticians deserve - AI reception today, inventory management and client education platforms tomorrow. Would love your feedback! And if you're a loctician drowning in DMs like I was, let's talk. AMA! 🚀 Yesha Nashiym-El Founder, LocSync Detroit-based | 17 years in locs | First-time tech founder
