Locs, also known as dreadlocks, are not just a hairstyle; they are a symbol of individuality, strength, and timeless beauty. At L&M Salon in Portland (PDX), we understand the significance of locs and are committed to helping you embark on or continue your loc journey with confidence and style. Our professional team specializes in various loc services, offering everything from starter locs to loc extensions, and even loc repair. In this blog, we’ll walk you through the wonderful world of locs and the services we provide to ensure your locs look and feel amazing.
- Starter Locs: If you’re looking to start your loc journey with your natural hair, our skilled stylists use a backcombing technique to create your locs. The starting price includes a thorough wash and conditioning session. The exact cost depends on the length and size of your locs, so a consultation is required to tailor the service to your unique needs.
- Loc Repair: Accidents happen, and locs may sometimes break or become damaged. Our loc repair service is designed to fix broken, damaged, or detached locs. This comprehensive service includes a wash and conditioning treatment. The cost depends on the number of locs needing repair, so we recommend scheduling a consultation before booking to ensure the best possible outcome. Please note that loc hair is not included, but our stylists can guide you on where to obtain a new loc if needed.
- Loc Styling: When it comes to styling your locs, L&M Salon offers various options. Whether you prefer two-strand twists, barrel twists, or a more elaborate style, our stylists are here to bring your vision to life. Consultation or pictures can be immensely helpful in guiding our stylists to achieve the perfect style for you.
- Loc Extensions: Loc extensions, also known as instant locs, faux dreads, or dread extensions, are an excellent choice if you want to add length to your existing locs. Unlike faux locs, which are temporary, loc extensions are added to your established locs, providing a permanent solution. This service includes a wash, condition, and styling. To ensure the best results, you’ll need to bring your own hair. Please book a consultation online through our lounge booking page to get started.
- Loc Detox: Every 3-4 months, it’s essential to detox your locs to maintain their health and vibrancy. Our loc detox service involves a thorough cleanse using a mixture of apple cider vinegar, lemon, and baking soda. This process helps to remove buildup and refresh your locs, keeping them in the best possible condition.
