Appointments typically take 60 to 90 minutes depending on repair complexity and hair density. We evaluate each loc at the start and give a realistic time estimate before beginning work.

When performed correctly, comb retwisting and repairs minimize breakage. Our stylists use gentle tension and proven repair techniques to preserve integrity while securing loose or damaged locs.

Clients usually return every 4 to 8 weeks depending on hair growth and style preference. We recommend personalized intervals based on your loc health and daily styling routine.

We can address many damage types—thinning, unraveling, and weak roots—but some cases need extended repair plans or alternatives. We’ll discuss options and a recommended timeline during consultation.

Arrive with clean, dry hair unless otherwise instructed. Avoid heavy products beforehand; bring reference photos if you have a desired look. We’ll perform a quick assessment at check-in.

Protect locs with satin wrap or pillowcase, avoid heavy manipulation for two weeks, moisturize the scalp lightly, and use recommended products to prolong your retwist and maintain repairs.
