What the service does
Wick install and loc combination reshapes existing locs into larger, fuller locks by joining and refining sections. At Alice African braids and locs in Fayetteville we carefully combine and shape locs to produce a clean, strong, uniform look. Pricing starts at $1200+ and varies with the number, size, length, and amount of work required.
Appointments for a full wick install-loc combination are scheduled as a 480 minute session to allow careful sectioning and secure joining. A pre-booking consultation may be required to assess scope. Clients must arrive with hair clean and completely dry. A $50 deposit secures the appointment; remaining balance is paid in cash. Cash App: 910-977-7749.
How results are shaped
The final size and uniformity depend on how many locs are combined, the target diameter, and the existing lengths. Our process focuses on consistent sectioning and secure joins so each combined loc has even tension and shape. Fayetteville's humid subtropical climate can affect drying after appointments, so clients should plan to avoid heavy sweating or moisture immediately after the service.
Choosing larger, combined locs reduces the total loc count and creates a fuller visual profile, but it increases session time and can raise cost because more shaping and secure joining are required. That trade-off — fewer locs versus more upfront time and investment — is evaluated during consultation so you and your stylist can set realistic expectations.
Preparing for your appointment
Before your appointment, wash and fully dry your hair; the stylist requires clean, completely dry hair to start. A consultation may be scheduled beforehand to confirm loc count, size goals, and time needed. The $50 deposit secures the booking; the remaining balance is due in cash at the appointment. Cash App payments accepted at 910-977-7749 for deposits.
After the service, expect your combined locs to need gentle handling while joins settle. Avoid heavy moisture, excessive sweating, or tight styles for the first days to help shape sets. Fayetteville clients who commute to Fort Liberty or work long shifts should schedule appointments during evenings or weekends when available, and plan travel that avoids immediate exposure to rain or high humidity.
