About Us

My name is LaDonis, and I've been a licensed cosmetologist for over 23 years. I've spent more than two decades behind the chair — building relationships, reading people, and understanding that what you wear and how you show up says something before you ever open your mouth.

LLK Customs started because I kept seeing the same problem: generic, forgettable designs that had nothing to do with the people wearing them. I wanted to create things that actually meant something — gear that spoke to the culture of the salon, the grind of the holidays, the pride of a graduation, the inside jokes only your people would get.

This isn't fast fashion. It's intentional design from someone who's been in the business of making people feel good about themselves for over two decades.

At LLK Customs you'll find two sides of the shop: our Behind the Chair collection — apparel and drinkware made for and inspired by salon professionals and beauty culture — and our Seasonal & Events section for the moments that matter: graduations, holidays, milestones, and everything in between.

Everything is print-on-demand, which means your order is made specifically for you. No warehouses full of sitting inventory. No mass production. Just your item, made fresh.

LLK Customs is one part of LLK Designs — a family of brands built around creativity, culture, and community. We're a Black woman-owned, U.S. Army veteran-owned business, and we take pride in every single order that leaves here.

What We Stand For

Intentional design. Every piece starts with a real person in mind, not a trend report.

Quality over quantity. We'd rather have 10 products you actually want than 100 you scroll past.

Representation matters. Salon culture, Black excellence, milestone moments, military pride — this brand was built to reflect the real lives of real people.
