Answers to common questions about instant loc timing, pricing, and aftercare.
Our hourly rate reflects stylist experience, hair length, density, and chosen technique. Complex or thicker hair requires more time. Booking two stylists at the flat $150/hour option speeds the process and can reduce overall appointment time while maintaining consistent results.
The $150/hour two-person flat rate covers two stylists working simultaneously to install or maintain instant locs, combined chair time, and shared professional tools. It speeds completion for larger or intricate styles; product costs may be extra. We'll confirm inclusions during booking.
The duration varies: our timed options range from 1.25 hours for small touch-ups to three or more hours for full installs on dense hair. Two stylists speed the process. We assess hair at consultation and recommend a precise time block for efficient, high-quality results.
Yes. Selecting the flat two-person rate assigns two stylists to your service, shortening total time and improving symmetry. It's ideal for dense or long hair and complex patterns. Availability depends on scheduling; we recommend booking in advance to secure a two-stylist appointment.
Keep locs dry overnight after installation, avoid heavy conditioners that cause buildup, and use lightweight oils sparingly. Sleep on a satin cap and gently palm-roll new locs as recommended. Schedule follow-up maintenance sessions and follow stylist product recommendations for long-term health.
Yes. We provide consultations to assess hair type, desired style, and timing needs—either in-person or virtually. This helps determine whether an hourly booking or two-person flat rate is best, and it allows us to estimate precise duration and provide accurate pricing before your appointment.
