What to expect during appointment
Your appointment begins with a short consultation about desired size, parting and maintenance preferences; stylists assess hair density and texture to shape the result. The process focuses on forming secure, uniform locs and setting a pattern that makes future maintenance predictable. Bring reference photos if you have a preferred look.
Appointments are scheduled to allow careful work and client discussion about upkeep. The listed duration for this service is 105 minutes and the price is $80. During the session you’ll review maintenance timelines, ask questions about styling options, and leave with a clear plan for follow-up visits.
Maintaining locs between visits
Maintenance frequency varies with hair growth and personal preference; our stylists provide tailored guidance during appointments. Many clients value a neat appearance and schedule regular retouches to keep locs tidy. We do offer retwist services, and you’ll be advised on how often to return based on your hair’s rate of growth and daily routine.
Local climate and commute patterns shape upkeep choices—hot, humid summers may require different washing and drying rhythms than cold winters. Located near I-95 and Christiana Mall, our New Castle studio offers hours that work for commuters and families so maintenance visits can fit before or after work or school.
Choosing loc size and shape
Size and parting determine styling options and maintenance needs. Smaller, closely spaced locs offer more styling versatility but can require more frequent attention; larger sections create a bolder look and different upkeep trade-offs. Your stylist will discuss how hair density, daily routines, and desired hairstyles influence the best choice for your locs.
Decisions about shape and spacing also consider life factors in the Christiana corridor—professionals commuting to Wilmington or Philadelphia may prefer lower-maintenance shapes, while families often choose sizes that balance neatness with manageable at-home care. We work within those practical constraints to create locs that suit your schedule.
