Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Loc Repair / Reattachment.

Time per loc varies with damage and chosen technique. Simple reinforcement often takes 15–30 minutes, while reattachment or extensive repair can take 30–60 minutes per loc. We assess during consultation and provide a time estimate. Price is $15 per loc.

No—when performed by experienced stylists, our reinforcement and reattachment methods protect surrounding locs and hair. We use gentle tension, secure stitching, and suitable products to minimize stress. You'll receive aftercare instructions to support healing and prevent future damage.

We generally recommend waiting 48–72 hours before thoroughly wetting repaired or reattached locs to allow bonds to set. Gentle spot-cleaning is okay with a damp cloth. Your stylist will confirm exact timing based on repair technique and provide washing instructions.

Many damaged or thinning locs can be repaired, but success depends on extent of breakage and remaining root strength. We evaluate each loc and recommend reinforcement, reattachment, or alternatives like partial rebuild or starter locs when necessary for the healthiest outcome.

Follow our aftercare: avoid heavy manipulation and tight styles for two weeks, moisturize lightly with recommended products, sleep with a satin scarf or bonnet, and wait to deep-condition until your stylist approves. Schedule follow-up maintenance to ensure repairs hold and locs remain healthy.

The repair and reattachment service is $15 per loc. During consultation we count affected locs and estimate total cost and time. Bulk jobs and extensive restorations may receive a customized quote; please contact the salon to discuss discounts or package pricing.
