What the service includes
Service begins with a clarifying loc wash, followed by a complimentary steam to soften and hydrate new growth. The loctician then performs a meticulous retwist, tightening the longest locs at the root to produce a smooth, uniform finish. The outcome is neat, healthy, freshly maintained locs. Note: the listed Duration is 90 MINUTES and dryer time is excluded.
Price for this service is $150. If matting is discovered during the appointment a $25 fee applies. For more than 130 locs there is a $50 fee and 30–40 minutes added to the booking. Many clients return every 4–6 weeks; demand peaks in May, June, August and December for event and holiday preparedness.
What happens during service
The appointment is sequenced to protect scalp and loc integrity: a clarifying wash, a complimentary steam, then sectioned retwist work. Sections are tightened at the root with extra attention to your longest locs so the overall shape sits even. Steam helps relax new growth, allowing cleaner parting and a tidier finish that clients describe as both neat and healthy.
Drying typically requires 45–60 minutes and that window is excluded from the 90 MINUTES booking, so plan your arrival and pickup accordingly. SkyLocs is located along the East Side 56th Street corridor in Indianapolis, convenient for clients commuting on I‑465 or using IndyGo to drop in before or after errands.
Aftercare and scheduling advice
Clients commonly schedule follow-ups every 4–6 weeks to maintain neat roots and loc health, a cadence many long-term customers report. Indianapolis’s humid summers and cold winters can affect styling longevity; warmer months and busy event seasons explain why May, June, August and December are among the busiest for longer loc maintenance.
Plan your visit with the excluded dryer interval in mind and bring any accessories you want set aside during service. If you suspect matting or have an unusually high loc count, mention it when booking so SkyLocs can reserve extra time. The salon offers online scheduling and accommodates school drop‑off and after‑work time windows.
