Locs

Locs are a commitment, and keeping them healthy takes regular attention. When you call about locs, you're likely noticing roots that have grown out, parts that have blurred, or dryness that makes your hair feel brittle. You want someone who understands the care your locs need without causing damage or tension. Our crew comes to your place with everything needed to bring your locs back to a clean, neat state.

We start by examining your scalp and locs, checking for buildup, dryness, or weak spots. Then we wash and condition with products suited to locs, making sure your hair is clean before we work. Depending on your locs' stage and the style you want, we use palm rolling, interlocking, or retwisting to tighten roots and keep parts defined. We moisturize your scalp and locs as we go to prevent breakage and keep your hair healthy.

Every head of locs is different. The length and thickness of your locs, the stage they're in, and how much maintenance they've had all change how long the job takes and what it costs. Starter locs need gentle handling and more frequent retwisting, while mature locs may need less work. The style you pick, like two-strand twists or a barrel, adds time. We look at your hair before we start and give you a clear estimate based on what we see.

On the day of your appointment, we arrive with our own tools and products, and we set up in a space you choose. We work carefully to avoid pulling too tight, and we check the health of your hair as we go. After we finish, we clean up any loose hair and product, leaving your space as we found it. Before we arrive, have your hair clean and free of product buildup if possible. After, follow our care tips to keep your locs fresh longer.
