How the crochet installation works
A crochet installation uses pre-looped hair attached to a prepared natural base to create immediate volume and coverage. The pre-looped construction of the extensions reduces repeated knotting, which shortens installation time while keeping tension lower on the scalp. Expect a finished look that prioritizes fullness and movement without requiring lengthy individual braids.
In our Los Angeles studio we prepare the natural hair with washing, detangling and a braided or cornrow base when appropriate, so the pre-looped pieces lay naturally. Preparation choices and your hair's density shape how full the final style looks and how long it feels low-maintenance.
Speed and convenience benefits
The pre-looped design speeds installation, delivering a full look with fewer hand motions and less time in the chair. That makes this service a fit for busy Pico-Robertson clients commuting along Pico or La Cienega, people scheduling before or after a Century City visit, and professionals who need evening or weekend appointments.
Price for a standard crochet installation is $220; the booked session time is 300 MINUTES to allow for preparation and styling. Demand peaks in Jun, Jul and Dec when clients choose low-tension, protective styles for summer vacations and holiday travel, so book early for those months.
Care and maintenance expectations
A crochet installation gives instant fullness but requires light upkeep to preserve the natural finish. In Los Angeles' Mediterranean climate, styling and exposure to sun or occasional winter moisture affect how long the pieces look fresh. Simple nighttime routines and occasional touch-ups keep the base neat while preserving low tension on the scalp.
Plan periodic maintenance appointments to refresh the base or replace any worn pieces; frequency depends on activity level, hair growth and preferred look. Book a consultation if you notice slippage, uneven fullness, or increased scalp sensitivity so we can adjust tension or recommend a different protective option.
