What this service includes
Loc Take Down is removal of existing locs charged by the hour; this listing shows a standard duration of 75 MINUTES. The appointment focuses on careful combing out of locs and detangling the hair. Many clients have reported receiving a refreshing wash and blow‑dry after the comb‑out, leaving hair feeling lighter and cleaner without adding extra services unless requested.
How long the takedown takes and how much of the process fits into a single appointment depends on loc thickness, length, and how tightly the locs were formed. Because we bill by the hour, your stylist will prioritize preserving hair integrity and completing as much of the comb‑out and basic finish as time allows, then recommend any follow‑up work if needed.
What to expect during appointment
Your stylist begins with a quick assessment of loc condition and your hair goals, then proceeds with patient, gentle comb‑out work. Salon Daba’s team is experienced at working slowly to minimize breakage and discomfort. Appointments in our Hollywood (La Brea corridor) location are scheduled to suit commuters and evening clients who come before or after shows and shifts.
Because takedown can be time‑consuming, expect a focused session without rush. If the comb‑out finishes early, many clients choose a wash and blow‑dry; if more time is needed, the stylist will explain what remains and whether an additional booking is recommended to complete the work safely.
Aftercare and next steps
After a thorough comb‑out, hair often feels lighter, cleaner, and more manageable — outcomes several clients have noted following their appointment. Your stylist will discuss immediate next steps such as a deep conditioning plan, protective styling options, or a follow‑up appointment to finish any remaining detangling or to create a new style.
Seasonal timing matters: our busiest months are January, May, and September when many clients schedule transitions. In Los Angeles’s mild climate, clients frequently plan takedowns around events, travel, or a change in routine; your stylist can advise timing to align with your schedule and local commitments near Hollywood Boulevard and the La Brea corridor.
