What the session involves
A Loc Take Down appointment focuses on carefully undoing locs by combing and detangling until the hair is free. At Salon Daba the team works methodically and patiently to minimize breakage, moving section-by-section and pausing for comfort. Customers often receive a wash and blow-dry after the takedown so the hair is cleaned and manageable.
This service is provided as a timed appointment; the standard session length is 135 MINUTES. Because each head of locs is different, the stylist calibrates pace and technique to the hair’s density and condition, prioritizing gentle handling over speed to preserve the hair for whatever comes next.
Timing and scheduling considerations
The listed duration is 135 MINUTES, and Salon Daba charges by the hour, so total appointment time affects the final cost. Popular times fill up fastest in January, May and September, so plan ahead if you need takedown before an event or seasonal change. Evening and weekend slots are available for clients with entertainment-industry or hospitality schedules.
Location matters for convenience: our Hollywood (La Brea corridor) studio is easy to reach from Hollywood/Highland transit and nearby bus routes, which suits quick pre- or post-commute appointments. If you’re attending a show or event near the Hollywood Bowl or Griffith Observatory, mention that when booking so we can help find a suitable time.
Aftercare and next steps
After takedown most clients receive a salon wash and blow-dry to restore manageability and reveal hair condition. That post-takedown service gives you a clearer sense of length, texture, and any trimming or treatment needs. Stylists will discuss immediate styling options and recommend follow-up appointments based on what the hair looks like after cleaning.
Local climate and lifestyle affect next choices: Los Angeles’ mostly outdoor-friendly weather and active nightlife mean many clients prefer styles that tolerate humidity and commuting. Salon Daba serves nearby neighborhoods like West Hollywood, Koreatown and Silver Lake, so we often tailor suggestions to the client’s daily routine and upcoming events.
