About this service
Permanent Sisterlocks are fine, micro-sized locs created directly from your own natural hair, strand by strand, with no extensions and no products or wax. Once installed they become your long-term hair — they grow with you and are retightened at regular intervals.
Our locticians assess your hair density, texture and length first, then agree on a lock size and parting pattern with you so the finished crown suits your face and lifestyle. Installation is done in one or more sessions depending on hair length and density.

Frequently asked questions
How long does a permanent Sisterlocks installation take?
Most installations take between 12 and 30 hours of work, usually split across two or three sessions. The exact time depends on your hair density, length and the lock size you choose.
Do I need extensions for permanent Sisterlocks?
No. Permanent Sisterlocks are installed using only your natural hair. If you want extra length or volume immediately, we offer human hair loc extensions as a separate service.
How often do permanent Sisterlocks need retightening?
Most clients come in for retightening every 4 to 6 weeks, depending on how fast the hair grows and how the locs are worn.

Sisterlocks are very fine locs installed from your own natural hair with a specific tool and grid pattern — no extensions, no wax, and enough versatility to style like loose hair.

Permanent Sisterlocks are your own hair locked for the long term. Temporary Sisterlocks are pre-made locs attached for a few weeks. The right choice depends on commitment, budget and how soon you want length.
