    • Starter Microlocs

      The price is for 6inches of hair or less. Anything more will cost extra. Microlocs are a great alternative to Sisterlocks and more cost effective if you’re on a budget. Micro locs are smaller than traditional locs and sometimes bigger than Sisterlocks. Microlocs can be started by interlocking, two strand twists, braids, and even with coils. Some of the many benefits of microlocs are neatness, fullness, and versatility. Because of the small size of the the locs you will have numerous styling options, as well as fullness. A full head of micro locs usually contains anywhere from 150-300+ plus locs. Your microlocs will be established. This will take place over 2-3 days/sessions and I will install a full head of microlocs.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 STARS ISN’T ENOUGH! I cannot say enough good things about my experience! From beginning to end, everything was professional, comfortable..., and absolutely worth it. She was so sweet and welcoming, started right on time, and most importantly—my braids came out AMAZING! 😍 One thing I absolutely love is that she provides the braiding hair AND washes the hair before your appointment. That extra attention to detail really stood out to me and made the entire experience feel even more professional and thoughtful. My braids are neat, beautiful, and exactly what I wanted. You can tell she takes pride in her work and genuinely cares about giving her clients a great experience. If you’re looking for a braider who is talented, professional, punctual, sweet, and goes the extra mile for her clients, BOOK HER! You will not be disappointed. I’ve found my braider! ❤️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 10/10 experience — highly recommend!
