About

The Black Crown is a space built around locs. The business says it focuses on restoring loc hair, working with intention and caring for it over time. Its loctician is listed on the About page as having over 10 years of experience and as licensed.

A visit begins with booking, and the business asks for a deposit on many services, with $20 to $350 depending on the appointment. Some services, such as loc coloring, traditional starter locs and micro loc start-ups, begin with a consultation. Men's braids are priced after a short consultation because the total depends on style complexity, braid size, length and design. Appointments can run from 15 minutes for a takedown to about seven hours for a micro loc start-up.

The menu covers the full range of loc work. Starter services include traditional starter locs and micro loc start-ups. Maintenance includes retwists, micro loc retightening, edge line-ups and shampoo and oil appointments. Styling options include pipe cleaner curls, loc petals, two-strand twists and plaits, and comb coils for clients who want a temporary natural style without a loc installation. The business also offers loc coloring in tips, ombré or full color, and extended two-strand options.

Hours are Wednesday to Friday from 9 AM to 2 PM and Saturday and Sunday from 10 AM to 6 PM. The business is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. The portfolio shows starter locs, barrel braids, bantu knots, space buns, rope styles and two-strand twists.

The business describes its work as restorative and intentional, with care given to the locs themselves rather than only to the style.
