Most clients return every 4–8 weeks depending on hair growth, texture, and desired neatness. Shorter intervals maintain a crisp look, while longer intervals are possible with looser styles. We'll recommend timing based on your Sister Locs and lifestyle.

When done gently and correctly, retwists do not cause breakage. Our stylists use low-tension techniques and assess weak areas, recommending protective spacing or treatments. Improper or overly frequent tight retwisting can damage roots, so professional care is essential.

Pricing is based primarily on growth length and time required. Shorter growth receives lower rates; longer or heavily grown roots require more time and higher fees. We provide accurate quotes during consultation and offer maintenance plans to manage costs.

Yes, clean hair helps the retwist process. Wash and fully dry your Sister Locs at least 24 hours before arrival unless otherwise instructed. If you can't wash, inform us — we can accommodate with a cleansing and prep service for an added fee.

Appointment times vary with size, density, and growth length, generally ranging from 1.5 to 4 hours. Short retwists (minimal growth) are quicker, while extensive maintenance for long or thick Sister Locs requires more time. We schedule accordingly to ensure quality.

Avoid heavy manipulation, tight styles, and excessive product for the first week. Sleep on a satin pillowcase or use a satin bonnet, moisturize lightly, and schedule follow-ups as advised. Proper aftercare preserves neatness and prevents tension or buildup in your Sister Locs.
