Thank you for choosing to patronize my business. Let me introduce myself. Hello, I'm Tamarah. I am an Army veteran and an experienced braider. I am the only braider. I do request that you come with patience & understanding when it's time for your scheduled appointment. Please don't arrive expecting a rushed service that is definitely one thing I will NEVER provide. I love meeting & working with new people so please be yourself, tell jokes or ask questions & I'll gladly do my best to answer them. I look forward to working with you soon. Be blessed!

The time may vary usually 30 minutes to 1 hour sometimes more. This is your time to ask questions and try narrowing down which style of MicroLocs will best suit your lifestyle. ​
Will I be able to wash my hair?
Yes, certain styles will require specific maintenance steps before you wash your hair, but by all means, wash your hair if you need to. I will always encourage good hygiene practices.
​
Will my locs be permanent? How long does it take for my hair to loc?
We offer permanent & non-permenant options. The non-permanent option is for those who truly desire to test drive the look without fully committing. The locking stage is individualized & depends on the method used during installment.

​
What happens if I miss my retightening appointment?
Depending upon the severity of lateness, most clients will be able to book a regular appointment. If you are 3 weeks or more tardy there will be an increase in fee due to the requirement of detailed work.
​
Will I be able to color my hair?
Yes! There will be slight changes needed to the formulations, consistency & processing time of the product for you to achieve your desired look. But yes, coloring your hair is possible.
​
Will the coloring process ruin my extensions?
Because I only allow the use of human/ virgin unprocessed; no. The hair will be fully capable of withstanding the coloring process to a certain degree. However, with proper care and maintenance, your extensions should last you a long time. A few years with excellent care.
​
Do you have a preferred brand or type of hair to use during MicroLoc Extention installation services?
At present, no. However, with the growing brands and awareness of afro-kinky/afro-curly extensions; there are many new companies and textures of extensions to try. I can promise you that whatever brand of hair you choose I will give you the best install I possibly can give you. If adjustments need to be made during your installation appointment we will make them & accomplish your goal look as efficiently as possible.

DreadLoc:
dreadlocks​
Also called dreads, it is a style created by allowing the hair to matt into locks.
Although popular myth gives Rastafarians credit for inventing the style, it is almost as old as humanity itself. Dreadlocks or similarly matted styles have been worn from Africa all the way to India, Australia, and even Papua New Guinea.
Indians call them "jata", and they are generally worn by adherents of Shiva.
Some Austro Aboriginies call them "goonut" or "goonat". It was a popular style around the area now known as Botany Bay in pre colonial times.
The term "dreadlocks" being used for this style, however, did originate with the Rastafarian movement. To them it symbolizes many things including the rejection of conventional western mainstream beauty standards, and the dread some may feel when confronted with the true natural self.
There is some debate as to whether matted locks that are "well manicured" should be called dreadlocks, since they are not natty and often require consistent maintenance and a higher degree of perceived vanity.
I need to tighten up my dreadlocks once a month.
You shouldn't pop your dreadlockss when they're dry.
