How often should I schedule retie maintenance for shaved sides?

Typical scheduling is every 4–8 weeks depending on growth rate, loc size, and hair texture. Shaved sides may require less frequent attention, but the initial consultation will determine the ideal interval for tension and scalp health.

Does the price include shampoo and root interlocking service for shaved sides?

Yes. The base price of $150 includes shampoo and interlock root retightening for up to two hours. Additional time is billed in $25 increments every 30 minutes beyond two hours up to a four-hour maximum.

What happens if my appointment exceeds the two-hour timeframe for retie maintenance?

If your appointment goes beyond the included two hours, additional time is charged at $25 per 30-minute interval. Billing continues up to a four-hour total; if more time is required we can schedule a follow-up appointment.

Is a consultation mandatory before booking my first retie appointment?

Yes. A consultation is required for first-time clients to evaluate loc type, scalp condition, and shaved side design. This ensures accurate time estimates, pricing, and the correct interlock technique for safe, long-term maintenance.

Can conditioning or styling be added during my retie session?

Yes. Conditioning and styling are offered as add-ons and can be selected during booking or at consultation. Add-ons improve moisture, manageability, and finished appearance; pricing varies so confirm choices to allow adequate appointment time.

Will shaving sides affect my retie technique or timing during maintenance?

Shaved sides change how we approach tension and parting but do not prevent interlock retightening. They may reduce time on those areas, though detail work around the shaved edge requires precision—discuss during consultation to set expectations.

I had an amazing experience at HairCUSTOMIZED! After thinking about it for a very long time, I finally decided to take the plunge and embrace my natural hair and get locs. I did many Google searches and found the HairCUSTOMIZED page, and I am so glad that I did. Although I really wanted locs, I admit I was a little nervous getting them because our hair is truly our crown and getting locs installed is really a huge commitment, not only financially but emotionally as well. But from the day of my consultation appointment, Shavon made me feel comfortable throughout the whole process. She thoroughly explained the whole process of getting locs installed and she also explained the different types of locs (microlocs vs sisterlocs). I really appreciate how she patiently answered all of my many questions. She made recommendations on the best type of install to get based on my hair type, but she didn't try to push or force me to choose a specific install. The choice was completely mine. During the long install process, she was very encouraging and friendly and she always made sure that I was comfortable during the process. She even provided breakfast and lunch for me during my install, which definitely pleased the foodie in me! 😁 I also appreciated her attention to detail as she made sure that my parts and grid were exact and precise. Shavon continues to be encouraging after my install and is willing to answer any follow up questions that I have. I am so grateful to have found Shavon and the HairCUSTOMIZED salon and I look forward to working with her as I continue on my loc journey. I strongly encourage anyone who is considering locs to contact Shavon at HairCUSTOMIZED....more

Excellent Service!! Shavon is the real deal. I love her demeanor. She took her time with EVERY lock. She made sure that grid was ON POINT. But before we even started the sisterlocks I had to do a consultation to make sure my hair was ready for locks. She cares about the health of your hair as well as it looking good. I appreciate her honesty and work ethic. She worked tirelessly to lock my hair. Fair warning..she is a perfectionist..but I don't mind at all!! I love my sisterlocks!! She has a client for life....more

Shavon is truly gifted and knowledgeable! Since becoming her client, my Sisterlocks have gone from nice to amazing. My grid is flawless, my hair is growing fast, and my scalp is healthier than ever. She did a thorough consultation and helped me fix an issue with white bulbs in my hair with patience and care. Now my locs get compliments all the time. So glad I found her! Highly recommend!...more

I’ve been coming to Shavon since the end of last year for my micro loc reties, and I love coming to her. My hair is always taken care off, neatly done, but never too tight to the point where I’m in pain, and on top of that she is super kind and sweet. Always asking if I’m okay, and my opinion, and making sure I am aware of what is being done on my hair, and gives suggestions on what I should do in between re-ties to keep my hair healthy. And the price is decent for the work put in, not too expensive. I 100% recommend if you are looking for a thorough, kind, black hairstylist....more
