Appointments typically range from three to six hours depending on density, color complexity, and whether lightening is required. Extra-long locs need careful application and processing time; your stylist will provide a precise estimate during consultation.

We minimize risk by using professional low-damage formulas, strand testing, and protective treatments. While chemical processes carry some risk, our technicians prioritize integrity, recommend strengthening treatments, and tailor processing to reduce dryness or breakage for long locs.

Arrive with clean, product-free locs and avoid heavy oils or leave-in conditioners for 48 hours. Bring reference photos and be prepared to discuss maintenance. If you have recent chemical treatments, disclose them so we can adjust the formula and timing.

Longevity depends on hair porosity, maintenance, and sun exposure; expect vibrant color for 6–12 weeks before noticeable fading. Deep conditioning, sulfate-free shampoos, and touch-ups every few months preserve tone, especially on extra-long locs that show wear sooner at exposed ends.

Yes, but bleaching long locs requires careful assessment of strength and porosity. We may recommend gradual lightening over multiple sessions and protein or moisture treatments to prevent damage. A consultation and strand test determine feasibility and expected results for your locs.

Use color-safe, sulfate-free products, deep condition weekly, and limit heat styling to protect color and integrity. Sleep on silk, avoid chlorine without protection, and schedule regular touch-ups and conditioning appointments to maintain vibrancy and health of extra-long, half-head colored locs.
