A microlocs retie is essential for maintaining your hairstyle, ensuring that your locs stay healthy and looking vibrant, especially through New York's summer heat. Our clients, like one who wrote, “My hair looks amazing, my scalp feels alive and refreshed, ” highlight how a retie revives their look and confidence.

What’s Involved in a Microlocs Retie?

During a microlocs retie, we'll gently tighten each loc to keep them neat and healthy. Our method incorporates a wash and conditioning treatment that nourishes your scalp and locs. We typically recommend getting a retie every 5–6 weeks. This schedule allows us to maintain the integrity of your style while minimizing any visible tangles, especially in the bustling environment of New York. One client shared, "Diane took her time, made sure everything was neat and even, and the results came out super clean." That's the kind of quality we aim to provide every visit.
