Faux Locs · from $220 · 5 – 7 hrs · West End, Atlanta
Faux locs in Atlanta, hand-wrapped and light enough to live in.
The look of locs without the years or the commitment. Wrapped by hand, sleek or distressed, in any length, and taken down whenever you are ready.
Why faux locs get a bad name.
They were so heavy your neck hurt
Locs wrapped with too much hair pull on your roots all day. That weight is what people remember, and it is avoidable.
The wrapping unraveled
You caught a loc coming undone in week two. Wrapping is a skill, and a rushed wrap does not hold.
Nobody explained the takedown
You went in without knowing how they come out, how long it takes, or what your hair would look like after. That is the part I explain first.
How I wrap them.
Wrapped by hand, one loc at a time
I braid a light base and wrap each loc by hand, tight at the top and even down the length. No crochet shortcuts, no bulk at the root.
Weighed for your hair
I match the size and count of the locs to what your roots can hold. Full and long is possible without the headache.
Sleek or distressed, your call
Smooth and uniform, or distressed with soft flyaways. We decide together, and I show you both on your own hair before we commit.
How your faux locs install goes.
We choose the finish and length
Sleek or distressed, how long, and what color. I tell you how much hair we need and what the takedown looks like before you commit.
Light base, hand wrap
I braid your hair into a light base, then wrap each loc by hand from root to tip so it is smooth, even, and secure.
Style, seal, and plan the takedown
Ends are sealed, the locs are styled, and you leave knowing exactly how to care for them and when to book the takedown.
Locs, without asking you to commit for years.
I have clients who wanted locs for a decade and never took the step. Faux locs let you live in the look for two months and decide for yourself, and that is why I keep them on the menu.
Wrapping is slow, patient work. It is also the style I get the most compliments on, and the one clients rebook the fastest.
Faux Locs are right for you if
You have always wanted locs but are not ready to commit.
You want a style that turns heads and still protects your hair.
You need something that holds up to travel, workouts, and weather.
You want an install you can take down cleanly in six to eight weeks.
Wear them like you grew them.

“My last faux locs gave me neck pain for days. These felt like nothing. She actually explained the weight before she started.”

Six to eight weeks with care. After that the new growth makes them heavy at the root, and it is time for a takedown or a fresh set.
