Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Style Only.

Style Only provides professional styling of already twisted or maintained locs—updos, partings, wraps, and finishing touches. It does not include retwisting or root maintenance; we shape and secure existing locs using gentle, salon-quality products for a polished result.

Yes, you can book Style Only after a recent retwist as long as the hair is fully set and not overly fragile. Inform your stylist of the timing so we can choose techniques that protect new growth and avoid unnecessary tension.

Appointment length varies by complexity and hair length, typically ranging from 45 minutes for simple finishes to two hours for intricate styles. Your stylist will estimate time during booking based on desired look and loc condition.

Complex styles, added extensions, or specialized adornments may incur additional fees. We provide a clear price estimate before service based on materials and time required so you know any extra costs up front.

Clean locs are preferred but not always required. If your locs are recently maintained and clean, arrive as-is. If needed, we can recommend a quick pre-appointment cleanse to ensure the best hold and finish for your style.

We recommend lightweight oils and setting sprays to maintain sheen and hold, avoiding heavy waxes that build up. Sleep with a satin scarf or bonnet and limit tight manipulation to preserve the style and overall loc health.
