Choosing a Loc Specialist
Loc installation takes 2–4 hours and varies by method (twist, braiding, interlocking) and your hair texture. When you call a salon, ask how long they estimate for your hair, which techniques they use, and whether they prefer backcombing or another approach. Most salons here work with natural hair locs; some may also offer synthetic styles. Reviews here span months or years—look for clients mentioning install quality and whether the salon explained the process clearly.
