Welcome!
We are excited that you have found Locspiration Salon as you searched and searched for a salon that specializes in loc’d hair care! We want your experience with us to be a positive salon experience that you look forward coming to for years to come. We want to answer the most commonly asked questions here
How should I prepare my hair for a consultation?
Please remove any protective styles like braids and other extensions. Your hair should be freshly washed within 24 hours. Your hair should be air dried and free from products like leave ins, oils, etc. We should be able to see how your natural texture appears with no product in it. This is so we have an accurate assessment of your hair and scalp. If your hair is not prepped according to these methods, we will have to reschedule your appointment.
Can I book a consultation and service for the same day?
Unfortunately, you must have a completed consultation before scheduling one of the new client packages. If you attempt to schedule both prior to your consultation, your appointment will be cancelled.
I’ve been to Locspiration a few years ago, can I just schedule a new appointment as a returning guest?
If it has been more than 6 months since your last salon visit, you will need an updated consultation.
Do you allow additional guests?
No additional guests for safety and insurance reasons. We offer services in a private 1-on-1 environment to minimize contact between guests who do not live in the same household. Parents are allowed to accompany their child during the child’s hair appointment.
Do you take walk ins?
No, we are an “appointment only” salon.
What is your cancellation and rescheduling policies?
We require 48 hours notification for cancelling your appointment. Appointments cancelled within the 48 hour window are subject to additional fees.
Less than 48-24 hours 50% of the service cost
Same Day Cancellation 100% of the service cost
Cancellations must be made in writing by phone, text message, or email only.
All rescheduling requests must be made more than 48 hours in advance. Reschedules are only valid for the same month as the original appointment.
