Starter Loc Foundation Session

A thoughtful beginning for your new loc journey.

A More Personal Way to Begin Your Loc Journey

This session begins with a thorough shampoo to cleanse and prepare your hair. I follow with a careful blow-dry so your hair is ready for foundational styling and precise sectioning. The process is paced with attention to your texture, comfort, and desired loc size.

Your starter locs are created with a clean, intentional foundation that supports the look you are beginning to build. I will talk through the styling approach and help you understand what to expect as your locs mature. The experience is personal, practical, and focused on setting you up with confidence.
