Consultation
I look at your hair and scalp in person, talk through the history, and tell you plainly what can be saved, what can't, and how long it will take.

The Signature
The Bring Back Specialist.
Restoration, repair and hair health. The work that separates this chair from every other chair in the city.
What it means
“Just cut it off” is not a plan.
It's the advice most people get when their locs start thinning, matting or breaking — and it's the reason so many people give up on a set they spent years growing.
I take the hair other stylists turn away. Locs that have been neglected for years. Locs that are combining at the root. Locs that are hanging on by a thread at the midsection. Hair that's been over-processed, over-tightened, or just left alone too long.
Bringing it back takes time, a plan, and an honest conversation about what's realistic. What it doesn't take, most of the time, is scissors.

The Process
How a bring-back actually works.
Restoration is rarely one appointment. Here's the honest version of what to expect.
Detox & Assess
A deep clean strips buildup so we can see the real condition of the loc and the scalp underneath. A lot of "damage" is buildup.
Usually session oneSeparate & Rebuild
Combined locs get separated, thin roots reinforced, breaks reattached, and the set re-parted so it grows in evenly from here.
One or more sessionsRestore
Treatment for the scalp and the hair itself, then the set is styled so you walk out looking like you never had a problem.
Same day finishThe Plan
You leave with a maintenance schedule and a home routine. Restoration only sticks if what happens between appointments changes too.
Every clientFollow Through
We check the set at each maintenance visit and adjust. That's how a bring-back becomes a set you keep.
