FAQs
What dreadlock services do you offer at La Aibamania ?
We specialize in starter locs (crochet, interlocking, comb coils), maintenance (retwists, palm rolling, repairs), and styling (updos, buns, braids). We also offer free consultations to plan your loc journey. Whether you’re new to locs or a seasoned locstar, we’ve got you covered in Brixton!
Can you work with all hair types?
Absolutely! Our locticians are trained to create and maintain dreadlocks for Afro-Caribbean, mixed-race, European, and other hair textures. We tailor techniques to your hair’s unique needs, ensuring healthy, lasting locs.
How long does it take to get starter locs?
Starter locs typically take 3–6 hours, depending on your hair length, thickness, and chosen method (e.g., crochet is faster than coils). We’ll confirm timing during your consultation to fit your schedule.
How often should I get my locs retwisted or maintained?
Most clients visit every 4–8 weeks for retwists to keep locs neat and healthy. If you’re active or prefer a tighter look, every 4–6 weeks is ideal. We’ll recommend a schedule based on your lifestyle and hair type.
How much do your services cost?
Answer: Prices start at:
- Starter Locs: £120–£200 (based on length and technique).
- Maintenance/Retwist: £60–£100 (short vs. long locs).
- Styling: £40–£80 (simple vs. complex).
- Consultations: Free.
Final costs depend on hair volume and time. Book a consultation for an exact quote!
Do I need to wash my hair before my appointment?
Yes, please come with clean, dry hair (washed 24–48 hours before) to ensure the best results. Avoid heavy oils or products, as they can affect locking. If you’re unsure, we can advise during booking.
How do I care for my dreadlocks at home?
Wash locs every 1–2 weeks with a residue-free shampoo, moisturize with a light spray (like rosewater or aloe), and cover with a satin bonnet at night. Avoid heavy waxes. We’ll share a personalized care plan at your appointment.
Can I get dreadlocks if my hair is short?
Yes! We can start locs on hair as short as 2–3 inches using techniques like crochet or interlocking. Short locs look bold and grow beautifully—perfect for a fresh Brixton vibe.
Are your locticians experienced with Afro-Caribbean hair?
Our team has decades of combined experience, with deep expertise in Afro-Caribbean hair textures. Many of our locticians have trained locally and internationally, bringing cultural pride and skill to every loc.
Is it safe to get locs for kids’ hair?
Yes, we offer kid-friendly loc services for children aged 5 and up, using gentle techniques like comb coils to avoid tension. Sessions are shorter to keep kids comfy, and we teach parents easy care tips. Prices start at £50.

Can you repair damaged or thinning locs?
Yes, we offer loc repair services to fix thinning roots, breakage, or loose ends. Techniques include reattaching locs, crochet reinforcement, or blending extensions. Book a consultation to assess your locs and create a repair plan.
Do you offer dreadlock styling for special occasions?
Definitely! We create stunning styles like updos, pinned buns, or intricate braids for weddings, festivals, or nights out in Brixton. Styling starts at £40, and we’ll work with you to match your vibe.
What’s your cancellation policy?
We require 24 hours’ notice to cancel or reschedule. Deposits (£10–£20) are non-refundable if canceled within 12 hours of your appointment. Contact us ASAP to adjust your booking stress-free.
What’s the difference between crochet, interlocking, and comb coils?
- Crochet: Creates instant, tight locs with a natural look—great for thicker hair.
- Interlocking: Uses a tool to weave roots for secure locs—ideal for fine or mixed hair.
- Comb Coils: Twists hair into coils for a softer, starter-loc style—best for short hair.
We’ll recommend the best method during your free consultation.
