If you wish to change your appointment with less than 24 hours notice, a new booking will be required to book in again and another booking fee paid. Same day cancellations will be charged 50% of the amount remaining

CONSULTATIONS

You will need to have a consultation with me before you book your appointment if:

• You are unsure what style to book
• Your hair is as long as, or longer than your armpit when it is fully stretched. It does not cost extra but I will need to alter the appointment time slightly to allow for more time!
• Your hair is extremely thick/thin or fine
• Excessive dandruff or any scalp conditions (examples include Scalp Dermatitis, Seborrheic Dermatitis, Psoriasis, Lichen Planus)
• You want to do faux locs over your real locs
• You are wanting to book starter locs

Unfortunately failure to do so will likely result in cancellation without a refund. Please ensure you take note of the above list and contact me if any apply to you, as I may need to make changes/special alterations.

PREPARATION FOR YOUR APPOINTMENT

Faux Locs:

All hair is provided by me and included in the price.

• Hair must be at least 3 inches long - If your hair is shorter than 3 inches and I have not been informed prior to your appointment your appointment is at risk of being cancelled so please bear this in mind if you have shorter hair. This includes the length of the sides and nape of your neck also
• When you are booking your appointment you will be redirected to a page where you can upload a picture of your hair when its blown out/fully stretched. Your appointment will not be confirmed without your hair picture being uploaded.
• You must come with your hair washed and blow dried, with no grease, oil or conditioner.
• Please ensure your hair is blowdried and fully stretched from root to tip. If your hair is not properly stretched I can blow dry your hair however an extra charge of £15 will be added

Natural Locs:

Please come with your hair washed as I currently do not have the facilities to provide a washing service.

It is ok to come with your hair wet or damp - if it isn't wet or damp by the time you arrive (depending on how far you are travelling) that isn't a problem, as I will dampen it again at the beginning of the service

FAUX LOC RE-TOUCH APPOINTMENT

• Re-touch should be done no more than 6 weeks from your original appointment. Please do not book for a re-touch if it has been over 7 weeks - you will need a new set of locs, this is because the locs can eventually cause tension on the new growth and cause damage on the long run
• Please wash your scalp prior to coming for your re-touch to refresh and rid of any build up and dirt accumulated. This can be done by putting your locs in a bun on top of your head, leaning over a bath/sink and letting the water run over your scalp. The locs may get a little wet (this is fine) but try avoid getting the whole of your locs wet as they will become heavy and take a while to dry.
• Wash your scalp with shampoo and conditioner as you usually would and let it air dry or dry with a dryer. Your hair and the faux locs must be dry when you come to your appointment
• Please ensure this is done before coming to your appointment as it will affect the result of the retouch. If your scalp is too dirty and not washed I reserve the right to turn you away if need be and the deposit will be forfeited

LATENESS

• Please ensure you are on time for your appointment and leave yourself extra time to travel if needed. For evening appointments please do take into account peak rush-hour traffic, so please factor that into your travel time.
• Lateness of 10 minutes will result in a late fee of £10 being charged. If you have not arrived after 20 minutes you will be classed as a 'no show' - your appointment will be cancelled and you will be charged 100% of the remaining amount
• If you feel like you are going to be late or are having trouble finding your way to me please let me know and I can try to help!

BOOKING NOTES

• All locs are pre made (except for shoulder length butterfly locs) - Please choose a colour for your faux locs on your booking by using the 'add on' options e.g. Colour 1B for your whole head. If you wish for any accents/highlights or skunk stripes please select as an 'add on'.

• If no colour is selected for your whole head, standard 1b (black) will be used. If you wish to change your mind on colour, please let me know 4 days or more in advance before your appointment. If I have already purchased the locs, unfortunately no changes to colour will be able to be accepted.

• I do shell/c shaped partings as a default, however if you would like square partings please select as an 'add on'. Smaller partings are also an option for an additional fee and can be selected as an 'add on' if required.

• I do not offer colour tucking. If your natural hair is different to the colour of the locs you are booking for (excluding invisible locs) your natural colour will not be fully concealed
