Loc Color Services

Add-Ons & Consultations

Color Services are offered as custom enhancement add-ons to eligible loc services for clients who want to refresh, refine, or transform their look while protecting the integrity of their locs. Every color service is planned intentionally, using professional formulations designed to support long-term hair health—not rushed results.

To ensure predictable outcomes and protect both your hair and your investment, all color services begin with a required Color Consultation. This step allows us to tailor your color plan based on your hair’s unique needs and your desired result.

Color Services are ideal for clients who:

Want to enhance shine, tone, or richness in their locs

Are ready for bold, fashion-forward color

Want dimension through highlights or contrast

Thoughtful color planning

Review your color and processing history

Confirm which color service best supports your goals

Need gray blending or coverage

Are correcting uneven or previous color work

These services are best suited for clients who value:

Hair integrity over shortcuts

Customized results designed specifically for locs

Color is never applied without preparation. During your Color Consultation, we take the time to:

Assess hair length, density, porosity, and loc condition

Perform a required patch test to verify formula compatibility and client sensitivity

This process allows us to recommend the safest and most effective approach before your service is scheduled. Color services are performed with care, intention, and respect for the condition of your locs. Final service eligibility, timing, and results depend on your hair’s history and current condition. Our goal is to deliver beautiful color without compromising the health of your locs.

What to Expect Regarding Pricing & Product Use

Color services are priced to include the standard amount of professional product needed for a shoulder-length head of hair with average loc density. Because every head of locs is unique, additional product may be required for longer lengths, higher density, or corrective work. A discount code will be used if you are to use less product then the base price.

When extra product is needed, upcharges apply, and this is always discussed during consultation, so there are no surprises.

Consultations are planning sessions only and do not include shampoo, maintenance, or color application. Color services booked without consultation notes will be charged an additional fee.

Loc Color Services

All color services are offered as add-ons to eligible loc services and are priced for a full head of shoulder-length locs using standard product and processing benchmarks. Because color behaves differently on every head of locs, a required Color Consultation with a patch test on file is mandatory before any color service is booked.

Color services are planned intentionally to balance desired results, hair integrity, and realistic processing timelines.

Required Color Consultation

Every color service begins with a Color Consultation, which includes:

  • Review of color history and previous processing

  • Assessment of loc length, density, porosity, and condition

  • Selection of the appropriate color service and formula

  • A required patch test to verify formula compatibility and sensitivity

Consultations do not include shampoo, maintenance, or color application.
Color services cannot be scheduled without a completed consultation and patch test on file.

Color Service Options & Processing Details

All add-on pricing is based on a full head using the standard product amounts listed below.
Upcharges apply when additional product or time is required.
A promo code may be applied when less product or processing time than the base amount is used.

This step allows for intentional color planning and helps prevent unwanted reactions or unpredictable results.

Once approved during consultation, the following color services may be added to eligible loc services.

  • Processing level: Low | No lift
    Processing time: ~30 minutes

    A soft tone-refining service designed to enhance shine and balance color without lightening the hair.

    Standard product use (full head):

    • ~10g color

    Best for:
    Shine enhancement, tone refinement, brass control, subtle refresh.

  • Processing level: Low to Moderate | No lift
    Processing time: ~20–45 minutes

    A pigment-only service that deepens, enriches, or refreshes an existing tone without altering the natural or current color level.

    Standard product use (full head):

    • ~10g deposit-only color

    Best for:
    Maintaining richness, refreshing faded tones, deepening color safely.

  • Processing level: High | Applied to pre-lightened hair
    Processing time: ~1.5 hours

    Signature Vibrancy Color is a custom, high-impact color add-on designed for bold, expressive, or specialty shades. This service is applied after the hair has already been lightened and focuses on achieving rich saturation, custom tone blends, and precise placement.

    Because vibrant and custom shades require advanced formulation and careful application, this service is offered as an add-on to a Double Process color service or pre-lightened hair, not as a standalone lightening service.

    Standard product use (full head):

    • ~10g vibrant or custom color

    Important clarification (client-facing):
    This service is for clients who want custom or fashion-forward color layered onto a lightened base. Lightening is not included in this add-on and must be completed separately as part of a Double Process service.

    Color Consultation with a patch test on file is required.

  • Processing level: Moderate to High (varies by desired result)
    Processing time: Varies based on coverage goals

    Seamless Gray Blending & Coverage is designed to soften, blend, or fully cover gray hair while maintaining a cohesive and natural look throughout the locs. The approach is customized based on the desired color outcome.

    While many gray coverage services are deposit-focused, some color goals—such as blondes or lighter browns—may require controlled lift to achieve the correct result. This is determined during consultation to ensure even coverage and proper tone.

    Standard product use (full head):

    • ~15g color

    Additional product or steps may be required when:

    • Lightening is needed to reach the desired shade

    • Filling or pre-softening is necessary for proper deposit

    Color Consultation with a patch test on file is required.

  • Item desProcessing level: High | Lightener required
    Processing time: ~120 minutes

    A two-step chemical service involving controlled lightening followed by toning. This service is designed to lift and refine tone—not to create vibrant fashion colors.

    Standard product use (full head):

    • ~10g lightener

    • ~10g toner

    Important clarification:
    This service is not intended for vibrant color results.
    It is used to achieve lighter or neutral tonal outcomes safely.cription

  • Processing level: Moderate to High (selective lift)
    Processing time: Varies by placement

    A selective lightening service that adds contrast, brightness, and movement throughout the locs without fully coloring the entire head.

    Standard product use (full head):

    • Product amounts vary based on placement and desired contrast

    • Toner may be used if needed to refine lift

    Final product use is determined during consultation.

  • Processing level: Variable
    Processing time: Base ~2 hours (may extend significantly)

    A highly customized corrective service addressing uneven color, unwanted tones, banding, or previous color issues. This service may require multiple steps or sessions to be completed safely.

    Base product use (starting point):

    • ~20g color

    Important note:
    Color correction can be unpredictable by nature. While a base price covers standard product and time, additional processing, product, or sessions may be required. Upcharges apply beyond the quoted or base service when unexpected conditions arise.

  • Add-on pricing reflects standard product amounts and processing time for a full head.

    Upcharges apply when additional product or extended processing time is required.

    A promo code may be applied when less product or time than the base amount is used.

    Final pricing is confirmed during consultation to avoid surprises.

    Final Note on Care & Safety

    Color services are performed with intention, caution, and respect for loc integrity. Results, timing, and service eligibility are always guided by the condition and history of your hair.
