Pricing is provided after your request form has been reviewed. Some services may require an in-person consultation.

Most Common Concerns

• Soft hair textures: slippage and unraveling may occur during the early stages

• Curly hair textures: frizz is common and part of the locking process

• Coarse hair textures: shrinkage and frizz are normal

• Straighter hair textures: higher likelihood of slippage and unraveling

Early-stage frizz, swelling, and pattern visibility are expected as locs mature.

Recommended Maintenance

• Maintenance is typically recommended every 4–6 weeks

• Some clients may extend to 8 weeks depending on growth rate

• Clients who exceed the recommended maintenance window may not   be eligible for standard retie services and may require repairs or a    new  consultation.

• Excessive delays between appointments can lead to matting, thinning, or costly repairs

• Consistency is essential for uniform growth and long-term scalp health

Remaining with one loctician is strongly recommended to maintain consistency in size, parting, and technique.

Booking & Scheduling Guidance

• Follow-up appointments are typically scheduled before leaving your current visit

• Irregular maintenance can result in loc damage that may require repair services

How to Care for Microlocs

• Avoid excessive wetting, especially with extensions during early stages

• Braid and band before washing

• Allow hair to dry completely before removing braids

• Use heat protectant if blow drying

• Sleep with a satin bonnet or pillowcase

• Avoid heavy creams and conditioners that may cause buildup or slippage

Microlocs with Extensions

Install Time

• Twist Method: approximately 1 full service day

• Braid Method: typically 2 consecutive service days

Hair Provided

• 100% unprocessed human hair (10–14 inches) based on availability

• Custom lengths and colors may be available at additional cost

What to Expect

• Extensions blend and mature into permanent locs

• Pattern visibility fades as locs mature (braids take longer)

• Swelling, shrinkage, and frizz are normal parts of the process

Extensions require consistent maintenance. Without proper upkeep, extensions may loosen or fall out and will require additional services to correct.

Hair Type Recommendations

• Coarse hair: Twist method often recommended

• Soft or fine hair: Braid method may reduce slippage, especially on shorter lengths

Frizz & Slippage

• Frizz is normal and part of the locking process

• Slippage may occur in short, soft, or frequently wet hair

• Roots are interlocked for durability and structure

• Lightweight oil to seal moisture

• Water mist bottle before oil application
