About

The business describes its purpose as loc maintenance for clients who want their hair and styles to look healthy. Most of the menu is built around locs: retwists in short, shoulder, mid back and butt lengths, loc refreshes that include steam, detangling, scalp oil and a scalp massage, and a vinegar and baking soda detox soak followed by shampoo and conditioning. Starter locs, instant locs, loc extensions and loc comb outs are also offered for clients beginning or changing their loc journey, with braids, twists and silk presses available alongside.

A consultation, priced from $18, is a good first step. It is used to look over loc sizes, check whether there is enough length for the service you want and answer questions before booking. Deposits are required for all hair appointments. The deposit is non-refundable, goes toward the appointment and is taken at booking, with the remaining balance paid in cash after the service. Rescheduling needs at least 48 hours' notice, and the deposit can move to one new appointment. A missed appointment without notice means the client cannot reschedule. A $30 late fee applies after 15 minutes, walk-ins are not accepted, and appointments booked on a Sunday carry a $67.50 off-day fee. Clients booking starter locs through Booksy are asked to hair-detangle beforehand, or a $15 extra fee applies.

Parking is listed as available, and there is a place to wash hands. The Booksy listing shows a 5.0 rating from 31 reviews, according to that listing.

Loc maintenance aimed at clients who want their locs and loc styles to look healthy.
