Technique and expected outcome
The crochet step gathers and secures excessive loose hair back into each loc, then a targeted retwist refines the base for a uniform part and neat appearance. This combination tidies stray hair without rebuilding whole locs, producing clean, well-defined locs with a seamless look that many clients describe as healthier and more manageable.
Because the service focuses on tightening loose strands and refining the root, results depend on existing loc condition and growth. Clients with regular maintenance see crisper definition; those who’ve missed follow-ups may need longer sessions. Outcomes seen in our records include improved neatness and consistent styling readiness for everyday wear or special events.
Pricing and appointment length
This service is billed by the hour. Pricing starts at Starting at $150 and sessions typically average about 3 hours; the booked duration listed is 180 MINUTES. Complex or reconstruction cases take longer, which affects final cost because the hourly rate applies to the full appointment time.
SkyLocs’s busiest months are May, Jun, Jul, and Dec, when humid weather and holiday events increase demand for detailed stray-hair tidying. Book early in those months to secure weekend or evening slots that fit school drop-off/pick-up windows and commuter schedules along I-465 or East 56th Street.
What happens during service
Clients can expect a focused crochet and retwist session tailored to their locs’ condition. Depending on the stylist’s assessment and the individual case, a wash or shampoo may be included — several clients note receiving wash and shampoo during maintenance. The stylist evaluates each loc to decide how much crocheting and retwisting is necessary for a tidy finish.
If your locs need more than tidying — for example partial reconstruction after skipped maintenance or integrating short new growth — the appointment may extend beyond the average time. Many clients follow a 4–6 week maintenance rhythm to preserve retwist definition and limit longer corrective sessions later.
