Appointment length varies by hair density, length, and chosen style. Typically installation takes three to six hours for standard locs; intricate sizes or added extensions can extend sessions. We provide time estimates during consultation to plan accordingly.

With properly installed and maintained locs, damage is minimal. We use low-tension methods, nourishing treatments, and recommend regular maintenance to prevent breakage. If your hair is fragile, we'll customize the approach or suggest preparatory strengthening treatments before installation.

Maintain loc health with gentle cleansing every one to two weeks, light moisturizing with oil or leave-in, and scheduled retightening every 4–8 weeks depending on growth. Sleep on satin, avoid excessive manipulation, and use recommended products provided by our stylists.

Locs are most common on textured hair but our techniques adapt to many textures. During consultation we assess length, porosity, and health to recommend the best method. For very fine or low-density hair, we offer alternatives or preparatory strengthening plans.

Expect a personalized consultation to confirm style and maintenance, gentle cleansing, precise parting and installation, and a finishing treatment. We'll review aftercare steps and schedule follow-ups. The service focuses on comfort and long-term hair health.

Pricing depends on hair length, density, loc size, and whether extensions are used. We provide accurate quotes after a consultation. Deposits may be required to secure appointments. Contact the salon or book a consult for a detailed estimate tailored to your needs.
