Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Instant Locs ($150/Hour or Flat Rate for Two People).

Timing depends on hair length and density. At $150/hour per stylist, single-stylist installs typically take four to eight hours; two stylists often reduce time roughly in half. We provide a personalized time estimate during booking or consultation.

Yes. The two-stylist option speeds installation and improves efficiency. We coordinate techniques so both stylists match size and tension. A flat rate covers combined labor and faster turnaround for clients choosing this service.

Ideal hair length is generally at least one to two inches for small locs and two to three inches for larger sizes. Very short hair may need a consultation to determine if instant locs will hold securely.

A consultation is recommended but not always required. It helps us assess hair texture, length, and desired size so we can provide accurate timing, pricing, and prep instructions for optimal results.

Arrive with clean, product-free hair that’s detangled and dry. Avoid heavy oils or conditioners before your appointment. If needed, we can wash and prep hair at the salon for an additional service.

Maintain locs with gentle washing, light moisturizing, and scheduled retouches or palm rolling as recommended. New instant locs may need more frequent upkeep until they settle and mature over months.
