What the fee covers
The Detangle Fee is an add-on charged when a client’s hair requires focused time to remove mats or severe tangles before the scheduled service. This work is done section by section to prepare the hair so the main loc or maintenance service can proceed safely and efficiently, rather than being rushed or interrupted during the booked appointment.
Detangling is a time-consuming task that requires patience and care to protect the integrity of the hair and existing locs. The fee covers that dedicated time and attention, helping us avoid damage that can occur if detangling is neglected or attempted too quickly during other services.
How it affects your service
When detangling is required the add-on increases the total appointment time and may change the stylist’s workflow for that visit. Removing significant tangles before the main service reduces the risk of uneven results, and it helps the appointment stay on track once the primary service begins, rather than stopping repeatedly to address stubborn knots.
Clients should weigh the added time against letting tangles remain; allowing detangling during the same visit typically prevents longer, more costly follow-up sessions. The Detangle Fee is applied where extra preparation is necessary to achieve the desired outcome safely and without rushing.
Scheduling and local logistics
The Detangle Fee is priced at $50 and the typical session time is 30 MINUTES added to your appointment. Because Laurel-area clients often schedule before or after commutes on I-95 or the MARC line, adding this service means allowing extra travel buffer or selecting evening and weekend openings that accommodate longer visits.
Mid-Atlantic weather can increase tangling—humid summers and seasonal changes affect texture and manageability—so occasional detangling add-ons are common for clients across Laurel, Jessup, Savage, and surrounding neighborhoods. Booking with realistic time for detangling keeps appointments on schedule and protects the overall quality of your loc maintenance.
