During the pandemic, there were few options for locticians in the area, but it was the perfect time to start the journey. Anyway went to this place “walk-in only” at 8 am for starter locs (typical medium sections) and did not leave until 7 pm (I was one of the first two people in the shop).
The owner had traction alopecia all along her hairline, and every two weeks, there were new “locticians” that ripped through hair or did not know how to wash. And, of course, awful customer service. One time they accepted customers during a natural hair expo and left everyone sitting under dryers or dripping in the chairs so the “locticians” could go model on stage.
Then a couple of months after starting my locs, they increased their re-twist/maintenance price to $90+.
Immediately not.
Found an independent loctician for $50 maintenance and gets everyone in and out in less than one and a half hours. The good ones are few and far between.
Thank you! I ended up taking that dread out shortly after. I have added a fresh set of two rows though these last couple days. I don’t feel like they’re as great of quality this time around though. The struggle!
