What the service includes
This service includes shampoo and maintenance only. It is focused on upkeep for an existing partial set and any shaved sides, not a full installation or restorative add-on. The listed price for Locs Maintenance ( Partial set / Shaved sides) is $80 and the scheduled appointment time is 240 MINUTES, which covers cleansing and the standard maintenance steps we perform.
If you want a deep condition, steam treatment, styling, or other care beyond shampoo and maintenance, choose those options from the add-on section. Add-ons are treated separately so the maintenance appointment remains predictable in scope, cost, and time for clients traveling from Laurel and nearby towns.
How to prepare for appointment
Plan for the full 240 MINUTES when booking so there’s adequate time for the maintenance process. Bring reference photos if you have a particular shape or edge you want for shaved sides. Our location in South Laurel near Laurel Park and the Konterra corridor accommodates commuters who prefer before-or-after-work appointments.
You do not need to pre-wash your hair because shampoo is included, but please mention any scalp sensitivities, recent chemical processing, or product build-up when you check in. Clear communication helps the loctician choose maintenance steps that suit your hair’s current condition without changing the quoted scope.
Aftercare and local climate
Aftercare between maintenance visits means keeping the scalp and locs clean; Laurel’s Mid-Atlantic climate—hot, humid summers and cool winters—can affect how often sweat or moisture build-up requires attention. If you spend lots of time commuting or exercising, plan for more frequent cleansing and book accordingly.
Scheduling depends on how your hair responds rather than a fixed rule; ask your loctician during the appointment for a recommended follow-up interval. Evening and weekend openings are available to fit family schedules and commuter routines for clients coming from Jessup, Savage, Columbia and beyond.
