FAQs
Micro locs are a long-term hairstyle that can last for several years with proper care. The longevity of your locs will depend on your hair’s growth and how well you maintain them.
When installed and maintained correctly, micro locs should not cause damage to your hair. Our skilled stylists ensure that the installation process is gentle and that the locs are sized and spaced appropriately to avoid tension or breakage.
Absolutely! Micro locs are versatile and can be styled in various ways. You can experiment with updos, braids, and other creative styles. Just remember to avoid styles that pull too tightly to prevent strain on your scalp.
Removing micro locs is a process that involves carefully unraveling each loc, which can be time-consuming. If you decide to take them out, we recommend coming to the salon for professional removal to ensure minimal damage to your natural hair.

Remember to own your Loc journey. Locs will differ depending on hair texture, hair length, general maintenance, method used to retie and density of your hair.
Micro locs are small, thin locs created by sectioning the hair into tiny parts and then locking each section individually. They offer a more refined and delicate look compared to traditional locs.
Traditional locs are thicker and can vary in size. They are created by sectioning the hair into larger parts compared to microlocs and allowing the hair to naturally lock over time.
Sisterlocks are a specific brand of locs created using a precise, patented technique developed by Dr. JoAnne Cornwell. They are smaller than traditional locs but not as thin as microlocs.
Proper care is crucial for maintaining locs. Minimize moisturizing (shampooing, water spraying, oil application) in the early stages of development or do as advised by your loctician. We recommend scheduling maintenance appointments every 6-7 weeks to keep your locs looking their best.
Yes, you can color your micro locs! However, we advise waiting until your locs are fully established before applying any dye to ensure the integrity of your locs. It’s best to consult with one of our stylists to choose the right color and technique for your locs.
