ALL THINGS SISTERLOCKS

The Sisterlocks Package

Sisterlocks is offered as a package of 3 visits:
  1. The Sisterlocks® Consultation
  2. The Locking Session (may be 1 to 3 days)
  3. The follow-up re-tightening session (done after at least 2 shampooing’s).

First Visit: The Consultation During this session you and your Consultant will discuss your personal hair care history, your styling preferences, and your lifestyle in order to determine if Sisterlocks is right for you. You will also have a cluster of approximately 8-12 “SAMPLE LOCKS” put in your hair to see if they will hold, check sizes, verify the amount of scalp showing, settling-in time, etc. This consultation is essential for both you and your Consultant to ensure you get your Sisterlocks done in the most suitable way.

Second Visit: The Locking Session Bring a good book because the locking process can take from 10-20 hours or even longer in some cases. The average Sisterlocks customer will leave this session with an average of 400 locks and a whole new attitude! Your Consultant will provide you with a “Starter Kit” that includes the proper shampoo for starting your locks, tiny rubber bands and “tip sheets” for grooming and shampooing as your locks settle in. Be sure to schedule your follow-up visit before you leave. Good maintenance is the key to gorgeous Sisterlocks over time.

Third Visit: Follow-up This visit should be scheduled after at least two shampooing’s, which is usually within one month from the date of your Locking Session. Your Consultant will monitor the integrity of your locks, tighten them up and give you an idea of how long the settling-in process is likely to take. You can also begin discussing styling tips for the ‘total look’ that’s right for you!

Ongoing Maintenance Visits It is recommended that you schedule your first few re-tightening visits at 4–6-week intervals. This way the progress of your locks can be easily monitored. As your locks mature, your Consultant will be able to determine how often you will need to come in for re-tightening on a regular basis. The average time between visits is 4-8 weeks, depending on the hair type and rate of growth.

The Sisterlocks® Consultation

Sisterlocks® are permanent and should not be considered if you are looking for a quick fix or a temporary reprieve from chemical processing.

At the Sisterlocks® consultation you can expect to spend approximately 1 hour or 90 minutes. The consultation is designed to discuss the Sisterlocks® hair locking process. You will be asked questions regarding your lifestyle as it relates to your past and current haircare practices. This includes pasts hair styling habits, shampooing habits, daily activities such as exercise, outdoor pleasures, eta. We will discuss how the Sisterlocks® process differs from other hair locking techniques. Your unique natural hair texture affects the appearance of Sisterlocks®. The use of certain types of haircare preparation affects the feel and appearance of Sisterlocks®.

At the consultation, you will receive 8 to 12 sample locks. You should have at least 3 to 4 inches of hair length. Less than 3 inches will make the sample locks difficult to analyze. The purpose of these samples is to determine your natural hair texture any changes in texture and density, and to choose which locking pattern is best suited for your hair type. It is REQUIRED that your hair be clean, free of any oils or conditioners and without braids, weaves, or extensions. If you are transitioning from chemically processed hair to natural, at least 1.5 to 2 inches of new growth is necessary. YOU DO NOT NEED TO CUT OFF YOUR RELAXED HAIR. If you have recently relaxed your hair or are between braiding appointment, you will need to reschedule the consultation. If you have extreme dandruff, eczema or psoriasis condition or an unhealthy scalp, which requires treatment, please reschedule until the condition has improved.

For Sisterlocks® to be uniform in appearance and remain strong and healthy, we must form a partnership, this partnership means agreeing to be consistent with retightening appointments, following post appointment instructions, and using recommended Sisterlocks® products, EXCLUSIVELY.

Appointment Instructions

 Prior to your locking session:

These instructions are very important leading up to your upcoming locking session.

  1. Come to your appointment with your hair clean.
  2. Please do not blow dry, straighten, braid, nor plait your hair in any way.
  3. Do not add any water, conditioners, oils, or moisturizers.

Please do not plan any other activities the day or days of your installation appointment. It is impossible to predict exactly how long your locking session will take.

After your locking session: Here are some tips to help make your Sisterlocks® experience go as smoothly as possible:

  1. FOLLOW the shampooing instructions in your Starter Kit. Most importantly, be sure to BUNDLE – Braid sections of your hair together, tuck the ends, and secure with a rubber band prior to shampooing. Rinse is very important.
  2. SEPARATE your locks from the root after EVERY shampoo. This is important to keep locks from joining together and it can reduce your re-tightening time. Dry hair thoroughly before going to bed. This prevents mildew and odor from forming in your locks.
  3. DO NOT USE OIL-BASE PRODUCTS. Your new locks are in a “settling in” phase. Softening agents found in moisturizers and conditioners can cause your hair to resist the locking process and cause build-up especially if they are not water-soluble.

General Maintenance

IF YOU ARE SICK, AT ANY STAGE, PLEASE RE-SCHEDULE. IF YOU COME IN EXHIBIT SIGNS OF ILLNESS YOUR APPOINTMENT WILL BE CANCELED.

  1. It is important to maintain regular maintenance. Re-tightening typically ranges between 3-5 hours. If you do not re-tighten your locks on schedule your time and costs will increase.
  2. For health reasons please come to your appointments with your hair clean and completely product free. Shampoo no later than 24 hours before your appointment. If your hair is not cleaned, your appointment will be rescheduled, and additional fees may apply.
  3. Your next appointment should always be scheduled before you leave to ensure availability.
  4. Your re-tightening appointment is an excellent time to purchase your Sisterlocks® products.
  5. Please do not hesitate to ask questions if you have any questions.
