Hair Wash & Prep Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about our wash, conditioning, and blow-dry services.

Our basic Hair Wash includes consultation, deep-shampooing with product matched to your hair, targeted conditioning, scalp massage, detangling as needed, and a light towel dry. Upgrade to Wash + blow dry adds professional blow-dry styling and thermal protection for finished looks.

Yes—our stylists specialize in washing locs and braids carefully. We use gentle techniques to remove buildup without unraveling or loosening, apply moisture where needed, and rinse thoroughly to avoid residue that can cause itching or odor.

A Hair Wash alone is usually 30 to 45 minutes depending on hair length and buildup. Wash + blow dry typically takes 60 to 90 minutes to allow for conditioning, careful detangling, and low-heat blow-drying.

It depends. For fresh installs we often request clean, dry hair to ensure proper bonding. For routine washes you can come with your usual level of cleanliness; we will deep-clean and prep as needed. Specify your appointment type when booking.

Yes. We use sulfate-free, pH-balanced, and residue-free formulations selected to protect loc integrity and braid longevity. If you have allergies or preferred brands, tell us during booking so we can accommodate or recommend alternatives that work with your hair goals.

Absolutely. Our deep-cleansing shampoos and targeted rinses are designed to lift product residue, dirt and oils trapped within locs and braided styles. Combined with conditioning and scalp care, this eliminates odor sources while restoring moisture and scalp balance.
