What the service includes
This service is designed for clients who have more than 100 locs; please book accordingly. During a 150 minutes appointment we shampoo the hair and perform maintenance using the palm roll method to tidy new growth and strengthen loc structure. A professional style is included so you leave with finished, wearable locs. Price for this service is $250.
Many Pikesville clients choose maintenance appointments that fit around commuting and family schedules; easy access via Reisterstown Road and I-695 makes quick pre- or post-work bookings attractive. Evening and weekend availability is common in our neighborhood to accommodate busy households and active older adults. We serve clients across Baltimore, Randallstown, Owings Mills and neighboring suburbs.
How the palm roll works
The palm-roll method uses the stylist’s fingers to roll each microloc along the strand, encouraging compactness and helping to control loose hair at the root. In a full service for more than 100 locs the technique is applied systematically through the head so each loc receives attention; this helps maintain uniformity without adding products beyond a cleansing step.
How tidy the locs look after maintenance depends on factors such as hair texture, loc diameter and how long it has been since the last touch-up. When you arrive, your stylist will assess new growth and determine areas needing tighter rolling or looser shaping; clients with dense sets of locs can expect the session to take the full 150 minutes.
Aftercare and local considerations
Aftercare choices will influence how long the neatness of the palm roll lasts; your stylist will recommend a personal routine for cleansing, gentle detangling and protective nighttime covering. Because the appointment includes shampooing, you do not need to pre-wash; however bring any loc-specific products you regularly use so your stylist can advise whether to continue them.
Pikesville's Mid-Atlantic climate — humid summers and cold winters — can affect moisture balance and styling choices for microlocs. We schedule appointments to accommodate commuters and families, with consideration for nearby landmarks like Reisterstown Road and Woodholme Country Club when planning timing. If you travel from Owings Mills or Randallstown, allow time for parking and traffic.
