How the service works
Existing Client Micro Retightening focuses on interlocking new growth to keep microlocs neat, strong, and uniform. The session addresses the grid of your locs by securing loose roots and reinforcing tension points; a gentle scalp cleanse is included to remove buildup before any maintenance, and light styling is offered at the end if desired.
This offering is strictly for returning clients with established microlocs—it's a maintenance service rather than a new installation. Pricing and booking reflect that focus: Starting at $225. Duration: 180 MINUTES. If you need a full install or major repair, a separate consultation or service will be recommended.
What to expect during appointment
Your appointment begins with a scalp cleanse to clear oils and surface residue so the interlock technique holds properly. The stylist then performs grid maintenance, methodically re-interlocking new growth at the base of each microloc to preserve shape, tension, and overall pattern. Sessions proceed at an even pace to protect the roots and finished look.
Light styling is available when the maintenance is complete — simple updos or shaping to blend refreshed sections into your existing style. Because this is a maintenance visit, the goal is to preserve your established microloc pattern and strength, not to drastically change length, density, or the original grid layout.
Timing and maintenance plan
Regular timing matters: the service is Recommended every 4–6 weeks to stay ahead of new growth and maintain neat parting. How often you need retightening depends on individual hair growth, daily activity levels, and how you care for locs between appointments. Keeping to the recommended schedule helps prevent excessive tension and keeps microlocs looking intentionally tidy.
