What happens during service
This service is built for dense sets: more than 100 locs with about four inches of new growth after two months without a retwist. Expect methodical work to address loose hair and new roots. Because of the extra detangling and detailed root-tightening, the appointment is scheduled for 105 MINUTES to allow careful, paced work without rushed tension.
Technicians work section by section to realign new growth at the base of each loc and smooth loose strands into place. The process reduces visible frizz and clarifies root pattern, but it takes longer than a standard retwist; clients trade a longer chair time for a more uniform, finished look at the roots.
Hair and scalp care
Clients frequently combine a focused scalp check and cleansing with this service. Reviews mention deep shampoo and thorough washing paired with retwists, which supports easier detangling and improved manageability. Technicians monitor scalp sensitivity and buildup and tailor handling so the work supports hair health rather than creating excess tension at the roots.
Product choice and tension are adjusted for each head: thicker locs and extended growth need gentler handling and different maintenance recommendations than freshly retwisted hair. Many clients report their locs feel fuller and healthier after salon care, and technicians offer guidance on at-home upkeep to help results last longer.
Booking, timing and location
Salon Daba sits on the La Brea corridor in central Hollywood, convenient for commuters using the Hollywood/Highland area and nearby transit. We accommodate evening and weekend appointments for entertainment and hospitality professionals, and many clients visit before or after shows and events at local venues like the Hollywood Bowl and Griffith Observatory.
Demand peaks in May, September and December—clients often schedule intense detangling and retwists for spring events, post-summer resets, and holiday travel. Because those months fill quickly, book early; reviews also note occasional same-day availability when schedules permit, so ask about openings when you call or book online.
