Starter Locs Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about starting locs, pricing, deposits, and aftercare answered clearly.
Starter locs begin at $150. Final price depends on loc size, length, and quantity. Smaller, micro locs and extra-long hair increase time and cost. Additional fees may apply for extensions or large full-head installs; we'll provide a detailed estimate at consultation.
A $50 deposit reserves your appointment time and protects the stylist's schedule. Deposits are credited toward service cost but are non-refundable for late cancellations or no-shows. We require deposit to ensure prepared staffing and materials for your starter locs session.
Yes — extensions are available for added length or volume. Prices vary by hair type, amount, and method (we do not offer micro loc extensions). Please request extensions during booking so we can allocate extra time and materials; additional fees will apply.
Session length depends on loc size, number, and technique. Typical starter loc appointments range from three to eight hours. Micro and very small locs take longer. We'll give an estimated appointment time during consultation so you can plan accordingly.
Aftercare includes gentle washing with residue-free products, nightly protection with a satin scarf, and scheduled retwists to promote tightening. Avoid over-manipulation and heavy products early on. We provide detailed aftercare instructions and product recommendations tailored to your starter locs.
Yes, we offer instant starter locs and crochet instant starter locs without extensions. These techniques provide a faster locked look, though longevity and appearance differ from palm roll or comb coil methods. Book a consultation to choose the best method for your hair goals.
