Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about Partial Starter loc (back and sides).
Appointment length varies with parting complexity, density, and loc size. Typically expect two to four hours for back and sides. We'll give a more precise estimate during consultation, factoring hair texture and desired parting patterns to plan your session.
We'll recommend sulfate-free cleansers, lightweight oils, and residue-free moisturizers to support healthy locking. Specific product needs depend on hair porosity and your maintenance schedule; recommended items may be available for purchase at the salon.
Arrive with clean, detangled hair free of heavy oils or styling products. Bring inspiration photos for partings and loc size. Allow extra time if you have dense hair so we can create precise partings and sizes.
When installed correctly with gentle technique and proper sizing, starter locs do not inherently damage hair. We assess root strength and recommend appropriate loc size, minimizing tension to protect fragile or thinning areas during installation.
Price depends on parting shape, loc size, and hair density, as well as time required. After consultation and hair assessment, we provide a transparent quote reflecting the complexity and materials involved for your back-and-sides starter locs.
Yes—extensions can be integrated for length or volume, but availability depends on parting pattern and loc size. Extensions may increase cost and appointment time; we'll discuss attachment methods and maintenance during your consultation.
