What the appointment covers
This service begins with a 15-minute consultation included in the booking to review hair history, desired size and density, and realistic outcomes for loc extensions. The consultation helps set priorities for the 5-hour work window and clarifies decisions for clients who are new to locs or transitioning from beginner locs.
Clients often value the consultation because it prevents surprises and sets a clear plan. Feedback from clients who had beginner locs highlights that planning up front leads to faster, more confident installation and a final look that matches expectations without extending chair time unnecessarily.
How time is allocated
The booked installation portion is 300 MINUTES of hands-on time allocated for placement, shaping, and securing extensions. Within that timeframe we balance length, density, and parting strategy so your desired look fits the appointment. Choices you make in the consultation — fuller density or longer length — change what can be completed in one session.
Because this is a fixed five-hour package, scheduling early matters during peak months (May, June, November) when clients plan for summer getaways and late-fall family events. Evening and weekend slots are commonly requested by local professionals, so allow lead time for reservations near Hollywood/Highland and the La Brea corridor.
Aftercare, maintenance and follow-ups
After installation, maintenance decisions and local climate shape how your extensions settle. Los Angeles’s Mediterranean weather, active nightlife, and frequent event schedules mean clients plan follow-up maintenance and washes around shows and travel. Many clients return to the salon for routine washes and retwists to keep locs tidy and aligned with their original plan.
On appointment day bring reference photos and any questions you want covered in the 15-minute consult, and plan your schedule around a 300 MINUTES session. The salon’s Hollywood location is convenient for pre- or post-commute bookings via the Hollywood/Highland area, making it easier to coordinate with work or event timing.
