I have been a client for more than 10 years. Ashlee does a great job and has been trained very well. The shop is clean and she is accommodating. She is also busy you may be service by a different person but it's definitely worth checking it out. You get what you pay for, here you pay for consistent experience.

Critical: Professionalism, Punctuality Loctician was late on more than one occasion, then proceeded to stay on her phone during my service time. 1st appointment took two hours and second almost 4. Extremely unprofessional. Beware!

My initial experience and install appointment and encounters were uneventful and I was satisfied with the service. Unfortunately I had the unpleasant experience of having my scheduled appointment changed 3 times (7:30am, 11:30 & noon) on the day of because the stylist chose to finish a new install second day appointment at my previously scheduled time. I tried to be flexible and understanding so I accepted all three time changes and waited at the final agreed upon time for 40 minutes while she continued to finish the other client before I finally decided to leave and find another option for styling my hair for the wedding that I was in the following day.

I received a text 1 hr 55 minutes after my final scheduled time of noon informing me that she was done and I could come back if I wanted to. I have never received such inconsiderate service and I totally felt unvalued as a loyal newer sister loc client (May 2021) to have my appointment moved so many times for a brand new client. I'm disappointed to say the least.

My experience with Locks 4 Life has always been positive and professional. Scheduling is always problem free with consideration of my time (arriving/ departing). The shop is clean in addition to providing options of tea, coffee or water with creamer and sugar. The environment is very friendly and laid back, which is just what is needed before or after a hectic day/evening. Questions are answered and explained throughly, with recommendations on keeping your locks healthy.

This is NOT a full service shop (wash, cut or style), you must have clean locks for retightening services (This is not a deal breaker for me). This was explained on my first visit and reiterated after it slipped my mind, due to so much information being provided during my first visit. However, it never seemed like a bother for information to be repeated. The professionalism is what will keep me as a patron.
