Preparing for Your First Microlocs Full Installation: What to Know

Feeling nervous about your first microlocs full installation? You're not alone, many first-timers share that anxiety. Let us reassure you: a thorough consultation starts your visit so you’ll know exactly what to expect. One of our long-time clients said, “Diane is very gentle with my locs and always communicates to make sure I feel no discomfort.” With 16 years in the business, we prioritize comfort while providing a style that reflects your unique personality.

Practical Steps to Prep for Your Microlocs Installation

Before your appointment, it’s essential to prepare your hair and scalp. Come with clean, dry hair and avoid any heavy products. We generally recommend a light wash the night before to avoid any buildup, allowing your hair to breathe. One of our first-time clients shared, "I loved that she did not rush to complete my hair install and made sure I was comfortable throughout the process." This aligns with our approach entirely, we want you to feel at ease.

What to Expect During Your Microlocs Installation

When you arrive, we’ll begin with a consultation to discuss your vision and hair condition. Then, your installation will proceed over two days, taking about 8 hours each day. Many first-time clients are surprised at how calm and enjoyable the process can be. You may even find that you look forward to your visits. Another recent client noted, “Diane is so dedicated to her craft and really took her time.”

“She is very gentle with my locs and always communicates to make sure I feel no discomfort.”

We’re here to ensure you stay comfortable and informed throughout the entire process. Expect soothing communication, gentle hands, and a welcoming environment.

Caring for Your Hair, After Your Appointment

After your installation, it's normal to feel both excited and curious about your new locs! We recommend you keep your hair moisturized and avoid heavy styling products at first. One loyal client mentioned, “I left with a style that was styling and the tools to maintain and grow my hair.” As part of our service, we will educate you on how to care for your locs, suggesting specific products that best suit your hair type.

We suggest scheduling your first maintenance appointment within 6-8 weeks after installation to keep your locs looking their best. This way, you continue to enjoy clean and well-maintained locs.

Insider Tips for a Confident Experience
