What comb coils are
Comb coils create starter locs by sectioning hair and coiling each section tightly at the root to form a durable foundation. The method builds a structured starting point using the client’s natural hair; texture, parting pattern, and coil size determine the initial appearance and scalp placement.
Starter locs formed with comb coils are intentionally a beginning stage: they provide a controlled base that changes as hair fibers catch and mat. The pace of visible maturation depends on your hair’s texture and care routine, so the stylist will explain realistic timing during consultation.
Process and appointment flow
Appointments include a wash before work begins, and the listed starting price is $225 for standard length and density. Typical sessions run 240 MINUTES; final price is confirmed before the appointment following a photo consultation and may increase for extra length, high density, or other factors.
In the Sherman Oaks studio we section hair to your chosen parting and form each coil to the agreed size and tension. Clients value commuter-friendly scheduling along Ventura Boulevard and easy access from US‑101, so we often arrange appointments around work commutes, errands, or nearby visits to the Galleria and Sepulveda Basin.
Sizing, pricing, and care
Price adjustments occur for specific requests or hair conditions: extra length, high density, very small locs, a high loc count, visible product buildup, repairs, or added styling can increase the final fee. We use the starting price to set expectations and confirm any changes after reviewing your photos.
After your starter locs are set, simple maintenance routines keep sections neat while locking begins. Follow-up visits may be recommended depending on how your hair behaves; many local clients schedule maintenance around weekday commutes or weekend plans, so we’ll suggest timings that suit your routine in Sherman Oaks.
