Services
Consultation
$20- This takes between 30-60 minutes. We take the time to talk to each and every one of our clients. When you come in for your consultation, we will assess your hair/locks and listen to what you want done. We will come up with one or more options/quotes for you and discuss the pros and cons of all of them in detail.
In most cases, you can schedule the consult together with or apart from your actual session. The downside to scheduling them together is we can not provide you a binding quote, only an average range of costs for specific services. We prefer consultation separately as it gives our clients time to absorb the information we have shared and think about what is best for them.
Lock Forming(Crochet/Backcombing For Fine Hair)
$65/hr (4-10+hrs) hours on average) Hair length, section size, and method make the difference in price. We will discuss these options with you at your consultation.
$100 overtime fee for any sessions longer than 7 hours. We can discuss breaking up your services into two sessions to avoid this fee. This will be discussed in detail at the consultation.

Dreadlocks removal
$70/hour (1-8+ hours on average)- Lock removals are hard to quote as the final cost depends on how mature the locks are, the methods used, and how long they are. Locks are often trimmed to the shoulder or shorter to save time. We recommend booking an hour or two of removal so we can see how many were removed in that time and come up with an accurate quote for how much it will cost to finish.

***Prices may vary. Please call for your consultation.
***There is a $65.00 no-show/last-minute cancellation fee and a $15.00 late fee (more than 10 minutes late). As I understand things happen, I ask only for a 24-hour notice to avoid the fee.
***I strive to keep prices as affordable as possible. Please remember I charge by the hour to offer shorter sessions to ensure everyone gets the services they need regardless of budget. Our prices are non-negotiable, but if you are on a budget, let us know, and we will accommodate you as best we can.
***I think all locks are beautiful, whether they are skinny or big, uniform or wild. My goal is to keep your locks healthy and happy. I pride myself in truly listening to clients’ needs and respecting their preferences. I take great care to do what is right for you. I even offer “gentle maintenance” for those who wish to keep their locks mostly free form. Whether you need a full deadlock makeover or just a single anchor repair, I can help you.
