What the method involves
This Microloc install uses your natural hair only. PRICE Begins at $1200 for the first 4 inches of hair. *$300 for each additional inch of hair*. The BRAID-method begins with an established loc grid and proceeds with 3-strand braid installs and interlocking at the root to set each starter loc.
Appointments run Approx. 16 - 24 hours (will be split over 2 consecutive days), accommodating the careful work required. The service includes establishment of the loc grid, 3-strand braid install, interlocking of hair at the root, plus a First Retie Appointment (4 weeks after install). Lunch is provided each day and you receive a gift.
Client experience and logistics
CONSULTATION REQUIRED PRIOR to Booking this service. See the Consultation Section to schedule. The consultation confirms whether your hair profile and availability match the two-day install, lets us plan the loc grid size and timing, and finalizes pricing based on the quoted structure. We serve Laurel and nearby communities like Jessup, Savage and Columbia.
HairCUSTOMIZED schedules installs with commuter convenience in mind. Our South Laurel / Laurel Lakes location is accessible to clients traveling on I-95, the Baltimore-Washington Parkway, or the MARC line, and evening or weekend openings accommodate family and work schedules. Expect a focused, uninterrupted booking across two consecutive days; lunch is included each day.
Aftercare and early maintenance
Early maintenance is part of the service plan. Your First Retie Appointment (4 weeks after install) is included to secure the roots and assess how the grid and braid pattern are settling. That visit helps plan follow-up maintenance, and it’s scheduled during the initial booking so clients leave with a clear short-term care timeline.
Laurel’s Mid-Atlantic climate — hot, humid summers and cold winters — affects moisture and styling routines. Expect seasonal considerations when planning maintenance and reties; we’ll discuss local-weather care during consultation. The service area includes nearby commuting hubs and family schedules, so we coordinate appointment times that fit school, practice, and work commitments.
