Yes — Loc Style Only requires clean, maintained locs. If your roots are loose or you haven't had maintenance recently, book a retwist first to ensure a long-lasting, neat style and to avoid extra charge or rescheduling.

No — this service is styling only. Shampoo and conditioning are not provided. If you prefer your locs washed or deep-conditioned before styling, book a separate wash or combined service or arrive freshly washed and fully dry.

Arrive with clean, fully dried, and well-maintained locs. Remove heavy oils, excess product, and loose debris. If you need root tightening or major maintenance, schedule a retwist first to ensure the stylist can focus solely on styling.

Yes — our stylists can create intricate updos and protective styles during a Loc Style Only appointment, provided your locs are in good condition. Complex designs may require additional time or a prior retwist, which can be scheduled separately.

Most styling-only appointments take between 60 and 180 minutes depending on complexity, length, and thickness. Your stylist will give an estimated time during consultation; complex or customized looks will require longer bookings.

Hold depends on technique, hair condition, and aftercare. Properly styled and maintained locs can last days to weeks; use satin protection, avoid heavy moisture, and follow stylist aftercare to preserve shape. Schedule regular maintenance for longevity.
