A Trim at Sophisticated Loc Salon focuses on removing split ends and damaged tips without a shampoo. Stylists carefully trim dry hair to restore even ends, improving health and appearance while keeping your current length and style intact.

Trim appointments are typically short—usually 15 to 30 minutes depending on hair density and length. Because we don't include a shampoo, the service is efficient, ideal for quick maintenance between fuller styling appointments.

Yes. Trims at our salon are intentionally offered without a shampoo service to make maintenance faster. If you prefer a wash or scalp treatment, you can add a shampoo appointment or book a complementary styling service.

Frequency varies with hair type and goals, but most clients benefit from a trim every 6 to 12 weeks. For locs or longer styles, 8 to 12 weeks helps maintain clean ends without sacrificing length.

No major changes are made during a trim—only split or uneven ends are removed. This preserves your hairstyle and overall length while refreshing shape and preventing further damage.

Come with hair dry and detangled if possible, so the stylist can assess ends accurately. Avoid heavy oils or product buildup; if you'd like a wash, please book a shampoo add-on beforehand.
