Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Instant Locs (Rate/Hour).

Timing varies by hair length, density, and desired loc size. Most full-head instant loc sessions take three to eight hours; hourly billing ensures you only pay for actual chair time. We'll provide an estimate after reviewing your photos.

Please send clear front-and-back photos before booking. First-time clients receive a consultation to discuss loc size, parting, and approximate hours. Photos let us estimate time and cost, and confirm hair readiness or necessary prep appointments.

Absolutely. We customize loc thickness and parting patterns to your preference within the limits of your hair length and density. Very fine or short hair may require longer sessions or alternative techniques; we'll advise during consultation and photo review.

Instant locs work well on many textures but require sufficient length—typically two to three inches minimum. Coarser hair locks faster; finer strands may need added time or extensions. We'll assess suitability from your photos and recommend the best approach.

Maintain with gentle washing every one to two weeks, avoid heavy waxes, and palm-roll or retwist as recommended. Sleep with a satin scarf or pillowcase and book retouches to keep neat. Proper home care prolongs loc health and appearance.

We charge by the hour; final cost depends on hair length, density, loc size, and session time. Send photos for a tailored estimate. Deposits may be required for first-time bookings, and we'll discuss total expected hours before your appointment.
