Installation time varies with hair length, density, and desired loc size. Expect two to six hours for most clients. During consultation we provide an accurate estimate. Longer hair or intricate parting can extend the appointment time.

We require a minimum of 4 inches of natural hair to install Instant Locs. Pricing varies by length and density; longer hair typically costs more. Consultation and measurement ensure accurate pricing and expectations before booking.

When installed by our trained stylists, Instant Locs are designed to protect and enhance your natural texture. Proper parting and tension prevent breakage. Regular care and avoiding excessive manipulation keeps hair healthy. We'll assess your hair to recommend the safest approach.

Wash and thoroughly detangle hair 24 to 48 hours before your appointment. Hair should be clean, dry, and free of heavy oils or styling products. Bring reference photos and any hair accessories. Arrive with hair in its natural state for best results.

Instant Locs are a permanent style but require root maintenance every 4 to 8 weeks depending on your hair growth and desired neatness. Individual locs may be tightened or repaired over time; proper at-home care prolongs their appearance and health.

Use a residue-free clarifying shampoo and dilute when needed. Apply light natural oils on the scalp, avoid heavy waxes or build-up products. Sleep on satin, dry thoroughly after washing, and follow salon-recommended product list. Regular gentle maintenance preserves loc health and appearance.
