Your First Loc Appointment: What to Expect and How to Prepare

Understanding the Loc Journey

Locs are not just a hairstyle—they’re a commitment. The journey starts with understanding your hair type, growth goals, and maintenance routine. At YailaJ Studio, we take time to explain every step so you know exactly what to expect.

What Happens During a Consultation

Your first appointment includes a 30-minute consultation with Yaila herself. We discuss your hair health, texture, and desired loc size. This step helps us create a plan that fits your lifestyle and comfort level.

The Starter Loc Process

We begin with a relaxing shampoo and conditioning treatment to prepare your scalp. Then, we section and install your starter locs using a gentle method suited to your hair. Every loc is created with care to ensure even growth and easy maintenance later.

Aftercare Is Key

Once your starter locs are installed, avoid washing or re-twisting too soon. Give your hair time to set and mature. We’ll guide you on when to come back for your first retwist and what products to use between visits.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Using heavy oils, twisting too often, or skipping your first few maintenance visits can slow your loc progress. Simple, consistent care keeps your locs strong and growing beautifully.

Building Confidence in Your Journey

We understand how personal this process is. Our goal is to make every client feel supported, confident, and proud of their natural beauty. At YailaJ Studio, we’re here to guide you from your first twist to your full loc transformation.
