Styles By Lo

Styles By Lo is a hair business in Upper Marlboro, Maryland, with appointments booked online through Glossgenius. Regular hours are Wednesday evening, Friday evening and Saturday daytime. After-hours and off-day appointments are also offered for a $45 fee with a $40 deposit.

The menu runs from a $20 women's trim (about 30 minutes) and deep conditioning and protein treatments through silk presses, cornrows, loc work and roller sets. A large part of the menu is weaves, wigs and closure installs. Most of these do not include the hair, the wig or a wash and blow dry, and some wig services need the wig dropped off in advance.

Weddings have their own options: a $50 wedding consultation that can be done in person or by phone, and day-of styling for the bride starting at $100. That styling requires a $40 deposit and does not include travel.

Booking carries clear terms. Cancellations within 48 hours incur a 50% fee and cancellations within 24 hours incur a 100% fee. Buy Now, Pay Later is available for bookings from $50 to $4,000, with approval needed before the appointment. Gift cards come in $50, $75, $100 and $200 amounts or a custom amount, and gift card sales are final.

Clients report that the stylist asks about their preferences and suggests options before any hair is installed.
