Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Faux Locs (Styling Only).

Appointment length varies by desired style and loc density. Most styling-only visits take between 45 and 120 minutes. We provide a brief consultation at the start to set expectations and confirm timing and any add-on services.

We can often tidy frizz, re-wrap loose ends, and conceal minor wear during styling. Severely damaged locs may need repair or partial replacement; we’ll assess and recommend the best approach and any additional time or costs.

Clean hair helps styling last longer, but washing is optional. If you prefer us to shampoo or deep-clean your locs, let us know—this may add time and a small additional charge to your appointment.

Skilled styling uses gentle techniques to avoid loosening the base. Minimal manipulation and secure tucking are used to maintain integrity. If locs are already loosening, we’ll recommend repairs or tighter anchoring as needed.

We can add accessories like beads, cuffs, and wraps during styling. Recoloring synthetic or pre-colored faux locs may be limited—color changes often require replacement or specialty services, so consult with us beforehand.

Protect your style with a silk scarf at night, avoid heavy oils that attract buildup, use a light spritz for shine and scalp care, and schedule touch-ups as recommended to keep the look fresh.
