Locs in Phoenix, AZ

Locs are a long-term commitment to a distinct style, so finding the right salon matters. Phoenix has 18 salons that handle locs, and they're active—83% offer online booking, and all are rated by customers. Your job is finding the fit for your hair type and maintenance philosophy.

Here are the 18 salons in Phoenix that offer locs. Check ratings, reviews, and booking availability to find your fit.

How to Choose a Loc Specialist

Start with reviews and ratings as a reliability signal. All salons here are rated, and the average is 4.63 stars—a concrete measure of how customers feel about their experience. Then consider what you're looking for: some specialists focus on installation, others on maintenance schedules and long-term health. Read recent reviews to hear about turnaround time, cleanliness, and whether the specialist asked questions about your hair texture and goals.

Online booking availability matters too. Since 83% of Phoenix loc salons take appointments online, you can narrow your search based on what works for your schedule.

The Phoenix Loc Landscape

Phoenix's 18 loc salons are distributed across the city, with options in different neighborhoods. All of them have customer reviews—that's a built-in accountability system. If you're browsing by rating, note that reviews reflect how individual customers experienced their appointment: the specialist's skill, communication, and care for their hair. Ratings here range from 3.8 to 4.8 stars. Salons at different ends of that range might both be great fits—the difference usually comes down to fit and communication style.

Frequently asked questions

How long does it take to install locs?
Installation typically takes 4–8 hours depending on your hair length and thickness, the locking method (interlocking, two-strand twist, crochet), and the specialist's pace. Discuss timing during your consultation.
How often do I need maintenance?
Most locs need retwisting or retightening every 4–8 weeks, depending on your hair growth rate and the method used. Your specialist should walk you through the schedule during your appointment.
Should I install locs wet or dry?
Most specialists install dry because it's easier to separate and lock the sections. Wet locs can be harder to divide cleanly and may take longer to dry, which can lead to mildew. Ask your specialist about their method.
