Meet the Founder

Claude Hardrick

Founder of One Loc Nation Hair Care & One Loc Nation Salon

My story begins with my deep connection to hair. Growing up, my family instilled in me the importance of entrepreneurship. I spent my childhood shadowing my grandparents all over Chicago while they managed several businesses.

It was during my high school years that the spark of inspiration ignited within me. This is the period where I started to experimenting with hair cuts and twists on friends and family. I was always determined to own my own salon, which started while sweeping hair in a barber shop and dreaming about my future. My vision was rooted in the belief that ethical and sustainable business practices could revolutionize my community.

So I founded One Loc Nation, a brand that has become synonymous with conscious natural hair care. My products are celebrated for the holistic foundation of our ingredients and herbal formulas. Not only known for the responsible ingredient sourcing, but also the effectiveness. These products deliver results.
