Appointments generally last between two and four hours depending on loc length, density, and desired effect. Complex techniques like multi-tone blends or lightening may require longer sessions or staged appointments to protect hair integrity.

When performed with loc-safe products and techniques, coloring is designed to minimize long-term damage. We assess porosity and strength first, recommend gentle formulations, and include protective treatments to maintain loc integrity across services.

Absolutely. We offer a wide palette—from subtle highlights to vivid shades—customized by texture, porosity, and maintenance preferences. Some techniques may require staged services; we’ll recommend options that respect your loc strength and lifestyle.
