About

Fanta Hair Studio is a private salon suite at 1409 Research Blvd in Rockville, Maryland, that serves women only. Its work centers on micro-interlocks, also called Tinylocs, and visits are by appointment only, with walk-ins and unannounced visits not accepted. The salon describes its concept as a five-star salon experience, and client reviews describe the space as clean, warm and spa-like.

The owner, Fanta, is a loctician who educates and offers interlock service under the TINYLOCS brand, a trademarked name that also operates as an online educational institution. Clients describe her as a pioneer in the micro-loc and Tinyloc field. Services are provided by Fanta together with other trained tinylocticians.

A visit usually starts with a consultation. Color services are custom and require a consultation at least 48 hours beforehand, except color touch-ups. The first retightening appointment sets the client's preferred maintenance schedule, and locs are moisturized and oiled as needed afterward.

Repairs are priced separately. Minor repairs cover individual fixes and do not include retightening. The major repairs package covers up to three hours of retightening and repair of slippage, bunching, holes, reattachments and grid restoration, with scalp therapy shampoo and conditioning if needed. Listed prices are base prices that can change with hair length, products used and labor time.

The studio holds high standards of excellence and attention to detail, treats continuing education as a priority, and sees professionalism and quality work as the keys to a good salon experience. Each client works through professional consultations toward a signature look.

Clients describe the salon as clean, warm and spa-like.
