About

Locsbytati describes itself as a luxury loc care brand on the South Side of Chicago. Owner Taraji Cartlidge, who goes by Tati, runs the business and has four years of experience working with locs.

Services are grouped into loc maintenance, luxury loc services, non-dread twists and transitioning locs. Maintenance covers styling only, retwists, and retwists with a style, priced by length. Luxury services include full-head loc combinations, reattachment and loc extension installation, with pricing that depends on the number and length of locs.

Full-head loc combinations include an ACV detox shampoo, the combination itself and a style of the client's choice, and can take up to 12 hours or two days. Loc reattachments and extension installations require contacting the business before booking. Extension installation does not include the hair itself, though shampoo and styling are included.

Non-dread twists include Y twists and two-strand twists, with an option that adds hair. Transitioning services include Instant Locs and a service that moves freeform hair into locs, which includes a detox, shampoo and style. Early morning appointments from 6 to 7 AM must be arranged directly and carry a $27 early booking fee. The business also sells bulk packages of services that can be used at any time.

Built around loc care, with a luxury positioning and a focus on helping clients maintain or begin locs.
