What's Included With This Service
A professional retwist for above-shoulder locs begins with a clarifying loc wash to remove buildup, followed by a complimentary steam treatment to soften and hydrate the roots. The stylist then performs a neat retwist, tightening each loc at the root to produce a polished, even finish. Note: the listed appointment time excludes 45–60 minutes of dryer time.
Clients leave with refreshed, well-defined locs that appear cleaner and more controlled; reviewers frequently highlight the careful, neat work and steam treatments as reasons their locs feel healthier. Many clients return on a regular cycle for maintenance; the service focuses on root tightening and overall neatness rather than chemical or reconstructive processes.
Pricing, Fees, and Time Details
Price for this service is $90 and the scheduled duration is 90 MINUTES. Because dryer time is not included, expect an additional 45–60 minutes on-site for drying when required. There is a $25 fee if matting has occurred and a $50 surcharge plus 30–40 minutes added for heads with more than 120 locs. Plan accordingly when booking.

What to Expect at Your Appointment
Expect a brief consultation on arrival to discuss recent maintenance, any matting, and your desired finish. The process moves through a clarifying wash, steam treatment, and then a meticulous root tightening on the back row of above-shoulder locs. The stylist focuses on neat, uniform retwists; if significant matting or extra loc counts are present, additional fees and time will be discussed before proceeding.
Use online scheduling to pick a time that fits your commute or family schedule. Arrive on time and be prepared to allow extra time for drying. If you have reference photos, a history of recent treatments, or concerns about matting, mention them during booking so the stylist can plan for potential fees or extended service time.
