What interlocking maintenance does
Interlock maintenance secures new growth at the roots of traditional large-to-small locs by tightening and resetting the root structure. For 100 locs this focuses on the base where hair has loosened, producing a tidy, tightened root line without changing the overall loc size or length. The intended outcome is neat, well-maintained locs with a clean, defined finish.
Careful interlocking reduces loose hair that can lead to frizz at the scalp and helps maintain the integrity of each loc as it matures. Because this service targets the root area specifically, results depend on the condition of existing locs and the stylist’s assessment during the required consultation before work begins.
What to expect during appointment
Appointments for Interlock Maintenance (100 Locs) are scheduled for 210 MINUTES and are priced at $210. The session includes the consultation, assessment of new growth and loc condition, and the interlocking work to secure roots. Clients should expect close, methodical work at the scalp to realign and secure each of the 100 locs rather than a full restyle of length or pattern.
We offer evening and weekend availability to suit commuters and working professionals traveling the Pico/La Cienega corridor. Appointments are commonly timed before or after visits to Century City, Beverly Center, or local errands, so plan accordingly and allow the full 210 MINUTES when scheduling to complete the maintenance properly.
Scheduling, timing, and upkeep factors
A required consultation helps determine whether your locs are ready for interlock maintenance and whether any additional services are needed. Overdue maintenance may incur an upcharge because extra work is often required to remove built-up loose hair and restore tidy roots. Tell us about your last maintenance during booking so we can advise on expected time and any potential additional cost.
Seasonality affects demand: Jun, Jul and Dec are the busiest months, driven by summer activities and holiday travel. Local climate and lifestyle—year-round outdoor living and frequent short trips across Los Angeles—mean many clients schedule maintenance around beach and holiday plans.
