Appointment length depends on service complexity. Basic maintenance like retwists usually takes 1–2 hours, starter loc work or intricate styles can take 3–5 hours. During your consultation we provide an exact estimate and timing for your chosen look.

Yes — Loc Styling is suitable for starter locs using gentle methods. Begin maintenance about 4–6 weeks after installation to establish pattern and prevent unraveling. We tailor timing based on hair type, locking method, and your desired outcome.

Aftercare includes sleeping on a satin pillow or bonnet, gentle moisturizing, avoiding heavy buildup products, and following your stylist's recommended washing schedule. Regular gentle palm-rolling or retouching helps maintain shape and encourages healthy loc growth.

Yes — color and extensions are available but require a consultation to assess hair health. Color may affect texture and maintenance, while extensions must be installed properly. Additional charges and a patch test may be required for safety.

Maintenance frequency varies by growth and style. Retwists and upkeep are commonly every 4–8 weeks. Looser or protective styles can extend timing. We recommend a personalized schedule during your consultation to maintain health and appearance.
