Feeling anxious before your first Microlocs Retie is completely normal. Rest assured, you're in good hands with us. Many clients, like one of our long-time visitors, appreciate our gentle touch: "She is very gentle with my locs and always communicates to make sure I feel no discomfort." We aim to make your experience as enjoyable as possible.
How to Prepare for Your First Microlocs Retie
To ensure a smooth visit, arrive with clean, product-free hair unless you decide to add a wash service. Communicating any allergies or sensitivities beforehand can also enhance your experience. As one first-time client experienced, "Amazing service! She was so nice and made sure I was comfortable!" We’re here to go the extra mile for you when preparing.
What Happens During Your Microlocs Retie
When you arrive, we start with a thorough consultation about your hair care routine and preferences. Then we begin the retie process, which typically takes about 5 to 6 hours, depending on your loc density and growth. Throughout the session, I constantly check in to ensure your comfort. One client noted, "Miss Diane is so attentive and takes her time." After a relaxing experience, you’ll see and feel the difference immediately.

Post-Appointment Care for Your Newly Retied Locs
After your retie, it’s common to feel a bit of tightness, but that will quickly subside as your hair adjusts. To maintain your locs, we recommend gentle washing with a sulfate-free shampoo, and scheduling your next retie in 5 to 6 weeks to keep everything neat. As one satisfied client shared, "I received a much-needed loc detox, repair, and style." You’ll leave looking and feeling revitalized!
