A 3 Step Guide to Your Locking Journey

What Your Establishment Package Includes

Your journey begins with a 3-visit package that includes a Consultation, an Establishment session, and your First Retightening session. Here’s what you can expect at each step:

Step #1 The Consultation Visit

Our journey together starts with the Consultation. During this visit, we’ll sit down to discuss your lifestyle, hair goals, and how Microlocs or Sisterlocks® can help you achieve the hair freedom you desire. I’ll carefully assess your hair’s texture and health, and we’ll decide on the size and style that best suits you. To ensure we’re on the right path, I’ll establish 6-9 locks in your hair during this session. This test will allow us to see how your hair responds over two wash cycles—typically done over 2-4 weeks, with washing either once a week or twice a month. By the end of this consultation, you’ll have a clear plan in place, and you’ll be well on your way to experiencing the benefits of this transformative process. There is a Non-Refundable $50 consultation fee for this consultation.

Step #2 Locking Session Visit

*CONSULTATION IS REQUIRED PRIOR TO BOOKING THIS SERVICE. The second visit is the Establishment session, where your Microlocs or Sisterlocks® come to life. Over the course of 20 to 40 hours, I’ll meticulously create each lock, ensuring they’re perfectly tailored to your hair type and desired style. I understand that many women feel a bit nervous during this time—it’s a big commitment—but as you relax and let me handle everything, you’ll begin to feel the excitement of embracing a new, low-maintenance lifestyle. This session is where you’ll start to see the true benefits of your decision—imagine waking up with your hair ready to go, day after day, without the hassle of daily styling. The establishment isn’t just about creating beautiful locks; it’s about giving you back your time and offering significant cost savings in the long run. A $200 deposit is required to hold your establishment dates.

Step #3 - Your 1st Retightening Session

Your third visit is the First Retightening session, scheduled 4 weeks after your establishment. This session is crucial for ensuring that your locks are forming correctly and that they’re strong enough to continue maturing beautifully. During this visit, I’ll tighten and perfect each lock, making sure they’re secure and on the right path. I’ll also provide you with simple, time-saving tips for maintaining your locks at home, helping you keep your hands out of your hair and letting your locks thrive with minimal effort. By the end of this session, you’ll feel confident that your hair is in excellent shape and that you’re truly experiencing the freedom, time savings, and convenience that Microlocs or Sisterlocks®offer.

Ongoing Retightening Sessions

After your First Retie, regular retightening sessions will be scheduled every 5-8 weeks. The exact timing depends on your hair's unique characteristics—finer or softer hair may require shorter intervals to ensure your locks remain secure and well-maintained. Regular retightening is vital for maintaining the structure and health of your locks as they mature. For both DMV and NoHo locations the rates vary based on the cost of doing business in that state. See scheduling app for current rates. Average retie time is 2-3 hours for loc counts of 350 or less and for those who have kept up with their regularly scheduled retie appointments.
