What to Expect During Installation
A new SisterLocks/Microlock installation at Experience This begins with a consultation that determines final pricing and the session plan. Price is $500 per session, a deposit is required, and the quoted baseline assumes about 3–4 inches of average density hair. The standard appointment length for a full installation is 300 MINUTES, so plan accordingly.
Clients consistently report that the session is thorough, professional and focused on lasting results rather than a quick finish. Our loctician will assess hair health, parting preferences and desired loc size during the consultation, then proceed with patient, methodical work that sets the foundation for healthy loc growth and styling over time.
Installation, Sectioning and Starting
The actual installation is a stepwise process driven by the consultation plan and your hair’s length and density. Expect careful sectioning to create consistent locs, followed by the chosen starter method appropriate for SisterLocks or microlocks. Because each head of hair differs, the stylist adapts spacing and tension to protect the scalp and build uniform locs.
Time and attention to detail shape the final look: denser hair or longer lengths change how sections are placed and how long the start takes. Pricing is set during the consultation to reflect these variables; the $500 per session shows the typical cost for the baseline described, with the deposit securing your appointment.
Aftercare, Maintenance and Follow-up
After installation you’ll receive personalized aftercare guidance focused on keeping your new locs healthy and neat. Clients note that clear maintenance instructions and professional reties or shampoo-and-retie sessions make a noticeable difference in hair health and appearance. The stylist will outline care steps and recommend follow-up timing based on your hair and lifestyle.
Our Nashville location on the Jefferson Street corridor is convenient for commuting clients who schedule longer sessions after work or on weekends. Because installations are popular around January, May and November, booking your consultation early helps secure a preferred appointment time around travel plans, events or holiday schedules.
