INSTANT LOCS IN LAUREL, MD
Mature-looking locs from day one, made with your own hair
Instant locs use a specialized crochet method to form your natural hair into individual, secured locs in a single appointment. You leave with the look of established locs on day one, without waiting through the budding and maturing stages that a twist or braid start goes through.

Clients come to us from Laurel, Maryland City, Columbia, Bowie, Odenton, Fort Meade, Severn, Jessup, Savage, Beltsville, Greenbelt and Silver Spring.

Frequently asked questions
What are instant locs?
Instant locs are made with a specialized crochet method that forms your natural hair into individual, secured locs in one appointment. They look like established locs from day one, so you skip the budding and maturing stages.
How much do instant locs cost in Laurel, MD?
Instant locs are $435 with your own hair. Your $30 consultation comes first and is applied toward your install.
How long does an instant locs install take?
Plan for about 6.5 hours. That is roughly half the time of a microlocs or Sisterlocs install, which usually takes around 12 hours.
Do I need a consultation first?
Yes. A consultation is required before every new install. It costs $30, can be in-person or virtual, and lets us check your hair before install day.
How long does my hair need to be?
Typically 4 inches or more. We confirm at your consultation whether your length and density suit instant locs.
Instant locs or microlocs: which should I choose?
Choose instant locs if you want a mature look straight away and a shorter install. Choose microlocs if you want very small locs that mature over time and style like loose hair. Your consultation will help you decide.
