What the service includes
A Loc Retwist- Mid-Back appointment begins with a clarifying loc wash, followed by a complimentary steam treatment and a careful professional retwist. For mid-back length (at mid-back and above waist), longer locs are tightened at the root to produce a clean, defined finish while refreshing the overall look and reducing loose growth.
The listed appointment duration is 120 MINUTES; note that that time excludes 45–60 minutes of dryer time. The price for this service is $130. If matting has occurred a $25 fee applies; for more than 120 locs there is a $50 fee plus an additional 30–40 minutes added to the appointment.
Technique and expected results
The careful retwist focuses on the root and new growth, securing each loc to maintain definition without unnecessarily altering the existing length or structure. Steam is used before the retwist to hydrate and relax the hair — clients frequently report that steam treatments help locs feel softer and more manageable, which supports a neater, longer-lasting retwist.
Results are a polished, refreshed head of locs with tightened roots and reduced loose growth. Because the process targets the base rather than reworking entire locs, expect a maintained appearance and controlled definition. If your locs are unusually dense (over 120 locs) or matted, the extra fee and time allow the loctician to work methodically and safely.
Scheduling and local factors
SkyLocs serves Indianapolis clients along the East Side — 56th Street corridor, convenient for people commuting on I‑465 or East 56th Street. Appointments are often scheduled to fit school drop-off/pick-up windows and after-work hours. Note the service is busiest in May, June, August, and December when clients prepare for travel, school, and holiday events, so book early in those months.
Many clients maintain a 4–6 week retwist cadence to keep locs healthy and defined; this frequency is reflected in regular return bookings. Allow for the excluded dryer time when planning your visit and communicate any history of matting or previous reconstruction so the salon can allocate proper time and resources for your appointment.
