Booking and consultation details
This service includes a 15‑minute consultation up front to confirm goals, check your current locs, and set realistic expectations before beginning the longer appointment. The hands‑on portion of this booking totals 420 MINUTES, so the consultation is short but focused on alignment between your vision and the work plan.
Salon Daba is on the La Brea corridor of central Hollywood, convenient for clients commuting via Hollywood/Highland Metro or nearby bus routes. We routinely accommodate quick pre‑ or post‑commute bookings and evening or weekend appointments for people working in entertainment and hospitality.
What happens during service
During the 420 MINUTES of work the stylist applies extensions to achieve the chosen length and density while monitoring the health of your existing locs. Expect decisions about taper, volume and length to be made together; the final appearance depends on your starting locs, hair availability, and the style choices you confirm at consultation.
Clients often value a calm, professional approach and efficient work; past clients with beginner locs reported very positive outcomes and noted that experience and clear communication helped the session move swiftly. The stylist will check comfort, fit and balance throughout the appointment.
Aftercare and scheduling follow-ups
After the session we recommend planning follow‑up maintenance appointments as needed for washing, retwisting, or adjustments; one common next visit for clients is a wash and retwist once styling has settled. Booking a follow‑up ensures the look maintains its intended shape and makes scheduling easier around busy months.
Keep in mind seasonality: May, June and November are our busiest months, so if you need extensions for travel or holiday events plan appointments early. Los Angeles’s Mediterranean climate means many clients keep styles year‑round, but summer travel can increase demand.
