What the repair fixes
This focused repair restores two to five locs to address weak, unraveling, or loose areas without a full retwist. Technicians reinforce problem spots so the loc holds shape and integrity. Note: locs must be clean and freshly retwisted before the appointment. The service excludes shampoo, a full retwist, and extensions; reattachments are additional.
Common issues we correct include unraveling at the root, loose ends, or localized thinning that threatens a single loc's structure. Clients frequently notice cleaner-looking parts and a natural finish after repair. The goal is to stabilize specific trouble spots so your overall head of locs stays well maintained between larger maintenance visits.
How the repair is performed
The work is intentionally localized: a precise repair strengthens compromised fibers, secures loose sections, and restores the immediate area without reorganizing the whole style. Because only two to five locs are treated, we focus on durability and a tidy visual result. The final appearance depends on your locs' length, thickness, and prior maintenance history.
This focused repair appointment takes 60 MINUTES and costs $70. The booking covers repair on up to five locs only; reattachments or added extension work requires extra time and fees. Shampooing and full retwists are not included, so plan a separate appointment if you need those services.
Scheduling and local details
African Hair Braiding by Fama is located in Pico-Robertson, conveniently timed for commutes along the Pico/La Cienega corridor and nearby visits to Century City, Beverly Center, or LACMA. We offer evening and weekend availability for working professionals and parents, so a focused maintenance visit can fit before or after shopping or appointments along La Cienega and Robertson.
Demand peaks in January, May, and September as clients pursue New Year resets, pre-vacation touch-ups, and autumn recovery routines. We do our best to accommodate scheduling needs — including occasional late arrivals for events — but limited slots mean earlier booking is recommended for busy months.
