New to locs?

Not sure which locs are for you?

Three families of locs, three different looks and budgets. Read this first, then book a consult if you're still unsure.

Sisterlocks

Very fine, uniform locs installed on a precise grid. The most versatile for styling, the longest to install. Retie every 5–7 weeks.

Microlocs

Small locs, quicker to install than sisterlocks and lower maintenance, with a similar lightweight feel.

Traditional locs

Thicker, classic locs. The simplest to maintain and the most affordable to start.

Still unsure? Book a consultation and we'll work it out together, with your hair in front of us.

FAQ

Questions I get every week

How long does a retie take?

Between 2 and 4 hours depending on your hair. Many salons take 6 to 8 hours for the same work. Fast doesn't mean rushed: I do this all day, every day.

How often do I need to come back?

Every 5 to 7 weeks for reties. You'll get a reminder message from me at week 5.

I don't know my roster yet. Can I still book?

Yes. Book the week that suits and message me once your roster is out, we'll lock the day in.

Do you take same-day bookings?

Sometimes, if a slot is free. Booking ahead is always safer, regulars book weeks in advance.

What does an installation cost?

It depends on your hair density and the loc type, so installations and reconstructions are quoted after a consultation. Book one below.
