The problem

What usually brings people here

How locs are installed determines how they look for years. Sections that are uneven, too large or too small, or placed without thought for your hairline, are extremely difficult to fix later.

Our solution

How we approach it

We plan the installation with you first — size, sections, parting pattern and how it works with your hairline — then install carefully. Getting this right at the start saves years of frustration.

Who this is for: Anyone starting their loc journey, or restarting after a previous set did not go well.

  • Agreed loc size and parting pattern

FAQs

Lock Installations questions

What affects the price?

Hair length, density and the loc size you want. We give you a firm price at the consultation stage — you will never get a surprise on the day.

How long before I can wash them?

We will give you a full aftercare plan on the day. The first few weeks matter most, and rushing a wash is the quickest way to undo the work.
