The Sisterlocks Package
Anyone trained in the Sisterlocks system signs an agreement to only offer Sisterlocks in the way they were taught. You can tell if your Consultant or Trainee is legitimate if they follow the guidelines below.
Sisterlocks is offered as a package of 3 visits:
1. The Sisterlocks Consultation
2. The Locking Session (may be divided into two to manage client's sitting time).
3. The follow-up re-tightening session (done after at least 2 shampooings).
2. The Locking Session (may be divided into two to manage client's sitting time).
3. The follow-up re-tightening session (done after at least 2 shampooings).
First Visit: The Consultation
During this session you and your Consultant will discuss your personal hair care history, your styling preferences and your lifestyle in order to determine if Sisterlocks is right for you. You will also have a cluster of approximately 8-12 "SAMPLE LOCKS" put in your hair to see if they will hold, check sizes, verify the amount of scalp showing, settling-in time, etc. This consultation is essential for both you and your Consultant to ensure you get your Sisterlocks done in the most suitable way.
Second Visit: The Locking Session (May be divided up to manage client's sitting time.)
Bring a good book because the locking process can take from 10-20 hours or even longer in some cases. The average Sisterlocks customer will leave this session with an average of 400 locks and a whole new attitude! Your Consultant will provide you with a "Starter Kit" that includes the proper shampoo for starting your locks, tiny rubber bands and "tip sheets" on grooming and shampooing as your locks settle in. Be sure to schedule your follow-up visit before you leave. Good maintenance is the key to gorgeous Sisterlocks over time.
Third Visit: Follow-up
This visit should be scheduled after at least two shampooings, which is usually within one month from the date of your Locking Session. Your Consultant will monitor the integrity of your locks, tighten them up and give you an idea of how long the settling-in process is likely to take. You can also begin discussing styling tips for the 'total look' that's right for you!
Ongoing Follow-up Visits
We recommend that you schedule your first few re-tightening visits at 4-6 week intervals. This way the progress of your locks can be easily monitored. As your locks mature, your Consultant will be able to determine how often you will need to come in for re-tightening on a regular basis. The average time between visits is 4-8 weeks, depending on the hair type and rate of growth.
