Booking carries a few rules. Appointments have a 15-minute grace period. Arrivals up to 30 minutes late carry a $20 late fee, and anyone more than 30 minutes late has the appointment cancelled with the deposit forfeited. Deposits are also forfeited for no-call/no-shows and for cancellations made within 24 hours of the service. Cash or Zelle is preferred for the remaining balance; cards are accepted with a 3% fee.

The business also keeps a linked list of loc protection and maintenance products, including head wraps, caps, silk pillowcases, oils and shampoos.

Traditional loc techniques are combined with modern styles, using natural products and an emphasis on hair health and individual care.
