What the process involves
The install begins with the establishment of the loc grid to map section size and pattern across your hair. Using the INTERLOCK Method, hair is interlocked from the tip to the root to form each microloc. This service specifically installs without added hair and focuses on creating a secure, uniform starter set.
The full install is completed over several sessions to protect hair integrity; the booking includes the First Retie Appointment (4 weeks after install). Lunch is provided for each day of your install, and clients receive a small gift from HairCUSTOMIZED to mark the new set. A consultation is required prior to booking.
Scheduling, time and duration
LENGTH of SERVICE: Approx. 20-30 hours (will be split over 3 - 4 consecutive days). The service duration is also listed as 720 MINUTES and will be divided into multi-day blocks to manage fatigue and ensure consistent technique. Appointments are planned consecutively to maintain pattern integrity and efficient progress.
We work with commuter schedules common in Laurel and the Konterra corridor: evening and weekend openings are available to fit before-or-after-commute blocks. Clients from Laurel, Jessup, Savage, Beltsville, Elkridge and Columbia find easy access via I-95 or the MARC line for coordinated multi-day appointments.
Cost and sizing choices
PRICE Begins at $1400 for the first 4 inches of hair. *$350 for each additional inch of hair*. Final cost depends on your starting length and how many inches exceed the initial 4. A consultation is required prior to booking to confirm actual length, establish the loc grid, and provide an accurate total before deposits or scheduling.
Longer hair increases both time and price because each additional inch requires more interlocking work and attention. Expect multi-day sessions, comfortable seating, and provided lunches. We recommend planning travel and work around consecutive appointment days; Laurel Towne Centre and nearby parking make arrival and breaks easier during install days.
