What the repair involves
Loc Repair for a set of 11–20 locs focuses on restoring individual strands rather than performing a full retightening of the entire head. In the appointment we assess each affected loc, determine whether reattachment, interlocking, or partial reconstruction is appropriate, and work to match the client's existing loc thickness and pattern for a blended look.
Every repair begins with a photo consultation so we can confirm scope and materials before you come in. The posted Starting at $240 fee is for standard length and density; the final price is confirmed before the appointment and may increase for extra length, high density, small locs, high loc count, buildup, repairs, or added styling.
Factors that change price
Repair cost depends on measurable factors: extra length or thicker hair takes more time and materials, very small locs require finer work, and heavy product buildup or structural damage increases labor. A higher loc count or requests for added styling also add time. We evaluate these elements during the photo consultation so the appointment reflects the accurate scope of work.
Typical appointment duration is 150 MINUTES, which accommodates inspection, the repair work for 11–20 locs, and light styling. Complex repairs, unexpected rebuilds, or extensive product removal can extend the session, and we factor those possibilities into the final quote after reviewing your photos.
