How the crochet method works
The Instant Loc (crochet method) installation at HairCUSTOMIZED begins with a consultation to confirm suitability and provide a personalized quote. The standard service includes a shampoo, a gel twist, and the loc'ing of hair. PRICE Begins at $1500 for the first 4 inches of hair, with $75 added for each additional inch; consultation determines final cost.
The published appointment duration is 1 MINUTES; the consultation will set an accurate timeline for your installation and any add-ons. Because the crochet installation and any optional services are tailored during consultation, your actual appointment length may differ, and the stylist will recommend whether additional sessions or inter-locing are appropriate to achieve your chosen size and shape.
What affects final result
Length and density of hair are primary cost and outcome drivers: pricing begins at $1500 for the first 4 inches of hair and $75 will be added for each additional inch. The consultation evaluates length, texture, and your desired loc size so we can recommend whether the crochet method is the right route and whether add-ons such as deep conditioning or inter-locing will be helpful.
During consultation we provide a personalized quote and outline any recommended add-ons, like deep conditioning, steam treatments, or styling. See the add-on section when booking if you want those services; they will change the time and price estimate. Consultation also lets us plan for future maintenance needs and set realistic expectations as your locs settle.
Preparing and aftercare expectations
Bring visual references and any questions to your consultation so the stylist can match size and shape to your goals. Because the service includes a shampoo and gel twist before the loc'ing step, you do not need to pre-wash unless advised at booking. Evening and weekend appointment options make it easier for commuters using I-95 or the MARC line to schedule before or after work.
HairCUSTOMIZED serves Laurel and nearby communities including Jessup, Savage, Beltsville, Elkridge and Columbia, offering local convenience for family schedules and shoppers visiting Towne Centre or Laurel Park. If you have parking or transit questions, mention them at consultation; we'll confirm available times and whether add-ons such as deep condition or inter-locing fit your schedule and budget.
