What the appointment includes
Loc takedown at Salon Daba is a time‑based service charged by the hour; the listed duration is 165 MINUTES. The appointment focuses on carefully removing locs so your natural hair can be refreshed. Many clients experience a gentle comb‑out followed by a refresh wash and blow‑dry, which helps the hair feel lighter and cleaner after removal.
Because the service is billed hourly, actual chair time may vary. The 165 MINUTES provides a typical window for a full takedown, but density, length, and the chosen finish (for example, a simple wash or a styled blow‑out) influence how long the appointment takes and whether additional time is needed.
How we handle comb-out
Our team emphasizes patience and careful handling when combing out locs. Staff work methodically to separate and detangle sections without rushing, which reduces avoidable stress on the hair. Clients repeatedly note that the process felt smooth and considerate, with attention to comfort throughout the appointment.
The focus during comb‑out is preserving as much of the natural hair as possible while removing the locs. Stylists assess fragility and adjust their pace accordingly, stopping to rinse or rest the hair as needed. This measured approach helps prepare hair for whatever comes next, whether a wash, blow‑dry, or fresh styling.
Local scheduling and seasonality
Salon Daba is on the La Brea corridor in central Hollywood, convenient for clients using Hollywood/Highland Metro and nearby bus routes. That location supports quick pre‑ or post‑commute bookings as well as evening and weekend appointments for entertainment and hospitality professionals needing flexibility around rehearsals, shows, or late shifts.
Demand for loc takedowns peaks in January, May, and September—months associated with New Year resets, pre‑summer changes, and back‑to‑school transitions. If you’re planning a seasonal change around those times, book early to secure a 165 MINUTES slot that fits your schedule and any post‑takedown styling needs.
