Times are typical, not a promise — if your hair needs longer, we say so before we start. Current pricing shows when you book.
Comb coils or two-strand starts, parted to a grid built around your density and how you like to wear them.
Wash, root work, and a set. Every four to six weeks keeps new growth even without over-tightening.
Tool or finger method. Holds through workouts, swims and humidity when you can't sit every month.
Thinning roots, split locs, marriages, reattachment. Send photos ahead and we'll plan it before you come in.
Deep clean for buildup, then moisture back in. Worth it once or twice a year, or after a long stretch away.
Fifteen minutes to look at your hair and talk through a plan. No pressure to book the same day.
Lead loctician
Ruth has been locking hair for over a decade, and most of her clients have been in her chair for years — which is the only review of a loctician that really counts.
One client at a time. No double-booking, no rushing your set to get to the next person.

"My locs had been worked on by different locticians over time. Ruth confidently assured me she would fix them — and she absolutely delivered. When she finished, I fell in love with my locs all over again. I can finally say I've found my forever loctician."
"My hair has flourished since Ruth has been taking care of it. She has made me fall even more in love with my hair as I watch it grow. There are not enough stars to give her the credit that is due."
"I have been new to Seattle for 2 years going on 3 and she has been the only person I have trusted with my hair. Ruth is a great loctician but an even greater person."
