About

The salon describes itself as a destination for personalized loc, braid and styling work. Its stated aim is hair and scalp care that is attainable, affordable and tailored to each client, without giving up hair health for the sake of style.

Services are grouped by specialty. The Braid Bar covers braid and extension removal, touch-ups for existing braids, locs or crochet styles, twists and braid styles with extension hair, and crochet installs using either pre-looped or non-pre-looped hair. Some braid services include hair up to a set value, and extension and crochet styles have minimum pack counts for specific brands. The Loc Bar offers basic and advanced styles, interlocking, crochet maintenance, a signature loc maintenance done with the palm roll method, and microloc retie maintenance. The Curly/Coily Bar includes a maintenance service, a fuller hair and scalp wellness service that is best booked again within four to six weeks, the GROW Hair treatment, and a texture management smoothing treatment offered as an alternative to a relaxer without harsh chemicals, which lasts eight to twelve weeks and requires a $50 deposit. It is suitable for kids and adults.

The Color Bar offers semi-permanent refreshes, root touch-ups that cover the root area only, color correction for tone issues, and single process color. The Consultation category includes a hair health consultation that reviews hair and scalp history and product recommendations, and a wellness analysis that uses trichoscopy to look at scalp condition, hair density and follicles. New clients can book a hair and scalp wellness experience or a signature loc maintenance visit. Several scalp and wellness services ask clients to avoid shampooing for 24 hours before the appointment. Appointments can be requested through the website, though some requests are completed on another booking platform. The LEARN category holds classes, workshops and events, including a hair care basics night.

Services are meant to be customized to each client, using plant-based products and never trading hair health for style.
