Dr Locs Studios was founded by Chimere Faulk, who is listed as founder and CEO of the Dr Locs brand. The site states that Chimere has more than 20 years of experience in loc care and healthy hair.
The salon works only with the full Dr Locs product line, which includes the Jinan Moisture Mix, Amla Extract Conditioner, Yaya Oil, Sweet Peppermint Clarifying Shampoo and Yasin Shampoo. The business describes these products as plant-derived and formulated by a hair care professional.
Services are grouped by what the loc needs: retwisting and free form cleanses, interlocking at several loc sizes with extra new growth, starting locs through comb coils, two strand twists, plats, interlocking or loc extensions, and loc washes with or without retwisting. Loc styles such as barrel twists, two strand styles, updos and pipe cleaners are also offered, along with cornrows, Senegalese twists and big chops for loose hair.
Retwisting and interlocking are priced by loc size and length, and the booking page asks clients to call when locs are larger than average or numerous. Loc extensions require a consultation before booking, and the consultation is held on a separate day from the service and covers preparation, aftercare and a quote. Consultations can be in person or by Zoom at $65 for 30 minutes, and virtual sessions can be recorded.
House calls are offered for clients who want services in their own home, and they must be approved in advance. The business also travels within the U.S. for these visits.
The studio is open Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday from 9:30 AM to 7 PM, and is closed on Thursdays. The booking page shows a 4.7 rating from 19 Google reviews, according to the booking page itself.
Services are built around the Dr Locs product line, with plant-derived products used throughout and a focus on maintaining locs through cleansing, conditioning and careful sizing.
