Loc'AVelli operates from a suite within The AUX - Embrace Your Crown Salon in Evanston. Loc care is the core of the menu, and the studio also offers braids, twists, blowouts, color, sew-ins and weaves, cuts and line-ups, children's styles, and a short list of facial waxing services.
According to the salon's About page, the team is educated and experienced in natural hair care. The same page describes one stylist as a licensed cosmetologist with ten years in the field and a master loctician.
Loc maintenance is suggested every six to eight weeks. If more than three months pass without a retwist, the hair needs a loc start first. Other loc work includes Wick loc starts, microloc installs and microloc maintenance, invisible and soft locs, instant locs, and half-head and full-head loc extensions. Loc extensions begin with a consultation and a non-refundable deposit.
Appointments are confirmed with a non-refundable deposit. Clients need to take down an existing style before their visit unless they book a take-down service. New color clients book a consultation and have a patch test before any color service. Arriving more than 15 minutes late without contacting the salon brings a $30 late fee, and arriving more than 30 minutes late means the appointment is cancelled. The salon may refuse service to anyone with cold or flu-like symptoms, and sick children are rescheduled. Parents need to collect children on time after evening appointments or arrange a ride.
Service packages can be bought in bulk and used later, the studio runs a loyalty program, and the space has child-friendly Wi-Fi. Hours are Wednesday to Friday from 5 PM to 8 PM and Saturday from 10 AM to 5 PM, and the studio is closed Sunday through Tuesday.
Natural hair care with a focus on loc work, supported by consultations before larger services like loc extensions and color.
