No. This service excludes shampoo and deep cleansing; hair should be clean before arrival. We do not provide a retwist, rope twist, or curl service during Micro Style. If you need cleansing or maintenance, book separate shampoo or retwist options.

Appointment length varies by complexity and hair length. Basic micro styles often take 45–90 minutes, while detailed updos can take up to two hours. We recommend allowing extra time for intricate work and discussing estimated duration when booking.

Micro Style does not intentionally alter loc formation or tightness since it avoids retwisting. However, styling tension can temporarily affect appearance. Our stylists use techniques to protect loc integrity; discuss concerns so we can adjust tension and preserve natural texture.

Prepare by ensuring hair is dry and free of heavy product buildup; arrive styled if possible. Bring any accessories or reference photos. If you need shampooing or a retwist, schedule those services separately—this appointment covers styling only.
