What professional maintenance involves
Professional maintenance for small loc systems begins with a careful assessment of new growth, parting, and the overall condition of each loc. The stylist evaluates how much root work and tidy-up is required to secure the system and restore clean part definitions without changing the established pattern.
Maintenance work focuses on managing new growth and blemishes at the root zone, addressing loose strands, and keeping sections neat to reduce tangling. The exact steps vary with each client’s loc density, length, and the amount of new growth present, so the appointment is tailored rather than one-size-fits-all.
Pricing and appointment time
Price depends on the number of locs, new growth, length, and the time required; the baseline service price from our records is $150. For an accurate quote, the salon requests client photos before booking so we can estimate the scope of work and confirm costs in advance.
Typical scheduling information from our records lists the maintenance duration as 185 minutes, though actual duration varies with each client’s needs. When you send photos, we’ll estimate both cost and time so you can choose an appointment slot that fits your schedule and commute.
Preparing for your appointment
Please send clear photos before booking to receive an accurate quote that reflects your loc count and new growth. Photos let the stylist gauge preparation needs and recommend an appointment length, which helps avoid under- or over-booking and gives you a realistic arrival time expectation.
