Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Natural hair stylists.

Before your appointment, cleanse and detangle hair, avoid heavy oils, and arrive with dry or slightly damp hair. Bring inspiration photos and communicate goals—this helps the stylist plan appropriate techniques, timing, and products for your hair type.

Longevity varies: two-strand twists typically last 4–6 weeks with care, while faux locs can last 6–12 weeks depending on install method and maintenance. Regular moisturizing, scalp care, and gentle handling extend wear without compromising hair health.

When installed properly, our stylists minimize damage using low-tension methods, protective parting, and regular scalp checks. Consult during your visit; if hair is fragile we’ll recommend alternative styles or treatments to strengthen strands before heavy installs.

We recommend sulfate-free cleansers, lightweight leave-ins, water-based moisturizers, and natural oils like jojoba or argan. Use a gentle clarifying shampoo sparingly and a satin bonnet or pillowcase to protect styles and retain moisture between salon visits.

Appointment length depends on style complexity: consultations take 15–30 minutes, twists often 2–4 hours, and faux locs can take 4–8+ hours. Smaller sizes and longer lengths increase time—plan accordingly and book enough time for a relaxed experience.

Yes. We install faux locs with high-quality synthetic or human hair and can use your extensions if pre-approved. We’ll assess texture, color match, and weight during consultation and may charge extra for supplied or premium hair types.
