Most Starter Micro Locs appointments include shampoo and conditioner and typically take around four hours. Time can vary based on hair density and length; very long or thick hair may require additional time. We'll estimate duration during your consultation.

Yes — extensions can be integrated for added length or thickness, but they change installation time and price. We use safe attachment methods to protect your hair. Schedule a consultation to choose appropriate extensions, color matching, and to review aftercare for blended, long-lasting results.
