When to add maintenance hours
This option is added for every week past 4 weeks that a regular maintenance appointment is missed. Each block covers one additional hour of service to address the extra time needed to bring locs back into expected condition; it’s a predictable way to bill catch-up sessions rather than estimating time on arrival.
Because Nashville clients often juggle commuting and busy schedules, these extra hours let you plan a longer appointment when trips are delayed by work, travel, or events. We recommend adding blocks proactively if you know you’ll miss regular maintenance to avoid extended same-day sessions and scheduling conflicts.
What additional hours cover
Additional maintenance hours cover the extra work that results from extended intervals between appointments: correcting slippage, re-tightening locs, and completing maintenance steps that exceed a standard session. Time is allocated so the loctician can assess damage, stabilize sections, and finish work without rushing—severe issues may still require more time or corrective services.
Slippage and extensive corrective maintenance may incur further charges beyond these hourly blocks; the salon notes that slippage can change the scope of work. The $50 fee for a 60 MINUTES block is applied per additional hour, and the loctician will explain if more time or different maintenance is needed during the appointment.
Planning future maintenance visits
Nashville’s humid subtropical climate and an active local lifestyle can affect maintenance schedules. Hot, humid summers and active commuting may increase frizz and tension on locs, so clients often need catch-up hours after busy travel seasons. Our busiest months—January, August, and September—reflect common catch-up needs after holidays and summer vacations.
The salon’s North Nashville location, near Jefferson Street and major interstates, makes it practical for after-work or weekend catch-up appointments. Because availability tightens in peak months, adding maintenance hours when you book helps hold the time you’ll need and reduces the chance of being rescheduled.
