Deep cleansing and gentle preparation
A Shampoo & Styling visit begins with focused cleansing designed for locked hair: removal of surface buildup and residue while minimizing manipulation of the individual locs. The stylist works methodically along rows or partitions to preserve each loc’s formation, with attention to scalp comfort and thorough rinsing to reduce trapped moisture in humid months.
Appointments are set to allow careful work on fine Microlocs, Sisterlocks©️ or Brotherlocks©️ without rush. This service is scheduled for 140 MINUTES and priced at $125, giving time for a full shampoo, scalp attention, and styling decisions tailored to your loc pattern and density.
Styling and finishing choices
Styling at the end of the service focuses on shaping and finishing rather than heavy manipulation that can stress lock structure. Expect parting, light setting, or arranging to suit daily life; the stylist selects techniques that respect the loc system you wear while creating a practical look for commuting, work, or special events.
Because many clients travel on I-95 or use the MARC line, we plan styles that hold up during commutes and normal daily activity. Evening and weekend openings make it practical to book before or after work, or ahead of local events like race days at Laurel Park or shopping trips to Towne Centre.
At-home care and scheduling
Between visits, maintenance focuses on clean scalp practices and minimizing buildup; exact frequency varies with lifestyle, climate, and product use. Mid-Atlantic humidity and seasonal changes affect how often locs feel heavy or need cleansing, so the stylist will advise on simple at-home care tailored to your routine and local conditions.
Book follow-ups based on how your locs feel and the activities in your week—commuting, sports, or events in Laurel and surrounding areas. We serve Laurel, Jessup, Savage, Beltsville, Elkridge and Columbia, and offer appointment times that accommodate family schedules and work commutes.
