What to expect during installation
A typical New Locs installation at our North Nashville studio is scheduled for 180 MINUTES; that session covers sectioning, forming starter locs, and initial shaping. The quoted starting price is $200; final cost is confirmed at consultation because hair density, length, and chosen loc type affect time and materials.
Many clients come after work or on weekends from downtown, Germantown, and nearby neighborhoods thanks to our location off the Jefferson Street corridor and close to interstates. Installations tend to be busiest in Jan, May, and Sep, so booking earlier is advised. Expect a focused appointment that accounts for Nashville's humid climate when planning parting size and maintenance.
Choosing loc type and size
We work with micro locs, sisterlocks, braidlocks and interlocks; the starting shape and size you choose affects final coverage, drying time, and upkeep. Our locticians bring years of experience with these methods, and clients value the knowledgeable guidance that helps match size to hair texture, curl pattern, and desired styling versatility.
Smaller locs offer more styling options but typically require more detailed work and a longer initial appointment; larger sections install faster but limit intricate styling. Clients often report greater confidence after installation, so we recommend a consultation to balance aesthetic goals with realistic maintenance needs.
Care and long-term maintenance
After installation, proper care shapes how locs mature. Routine maintenance at our salon — including reties, targeted shampooing and dry treatments — supports healthy growth. Clients frequently report improved hair health and flourishing locs under consistent maintenance, and they praise the attentive, knowledgeable approach received during follow-up appointments.
Nashville's humid summers and spring pollen season can affect washing and drying choices; we discuss these local considerations and commuting schedules at your consultation. Because hair density and style choice change the work required, the starting price is $200 and the exact fee is confirmed at consultation.
