How the process begins
Before any appointment we require a consultation or clear pictures so the stylist can assess your hair, scalp, and goals. That intake determines the number, size, and length of starter locs with extensions and is necessary to produce an accurate plan and final quote.
During the initial session your stylist will begin the starter locs and integrate extension hair to achieve immediate length. The first appointment establishes the foundation; future tightening and maintenance will shape how the locs settle over time, so the initial configuration matters for long-term styling.
What shapes the outcome
Final price and the finished look depend on several client choices: desired loc size, number of locs, extension length, and the extension hair itself. Those variables change the time and materials required, so your consultation focuses on balancing aesthetics, maintenance, and cost to reach your goal.
Local factors matter too: Fayetteville’s humid subtropical climate can affect how extensions dry and how locs settle, so we discuss practical care considerations during booking. Your lifestyle — commuting to Fort Liberty or needing evening appointments — also influences the recommended size and upkeep schedule.
Preparing for appointment day
Consultation or pictures are required before booking; bring clear photos showing your current hair and any inspiration for length and parting. This ensures we can confirm availability, estimate time, and provide an accurate price based on the size and number of locs you want.
Plan for a substantial first appointment: the session duration is 460 minutes and the base price is $600. Final time and cost may vary. Our West Fayetteville location near Murchison and Skibo roads is convenient for commuters and military families who often schedule around shifts and errands.
