I paid $750 for my install in May 2015. My hair was 6-8 inches and I ended up with about 420 locks. I saw my consultant every 5 weeks for one year and then I took the retie class and never looked back. So for 5 years now I haven’t spent anything much. Just shampoo here and there and I’m not picky on the brand anymore. Locking my hair was the best decision ever!!!
Hi Amber, pricing definitely turned me away for about 8 years!!! I was afraid to drop the coins because I understood it was an investment and commitment! That i just wasnt ready for. I took the leap July 2020 and i have absolutely NO regrets!!!! Im in love with them!!!! Its worth every cent !! Thanks for creating this price break down.
You are welcome and I appreciate your comment. These locs certainly are a commitment that I feel I made at the right time in my life as well. 😊 Although they have a set retie time, I really feel like they are true hair freedom! Take the bonnet off, shake, and go!..😂
Hi ladies, My initial install was June of 2021. It took 3 days and I started with 13 inches of hair. I paid $1700 for the install and $125 for reties every 4 weeks. I must say that I absolutely love 💕 my sister locs 😍😍… no regrets here. My hair is soft and I do live in a metropolitan area which may have factored into the price.
I'm contemplating cutting my hair just to make the initial price cheaper. Rn my hair (when straightened) is a few inches below my collarbone. Some parts of my hair is longer(such as the back) and some are shorter(parts of the front) I spoke with the loctician and since my hair is both "long" and very thick, it would cost me a pretty penny to do sisterlocs. But the installation price isn't my main gripe, it's the maintenance price. How much would it cost to maintain my hair while it's short and how much would it take as it begins to grow? If the price point is out of my budget then I might just go with microlocs.
That's not bad at all. I have micro-locs so mine were cheaper, but the overall cost analysis is great. You made a valid point, that is a one time fee of $925. No flat irons, no hair products (other than shampoo), no combs, and detangling brushes.) It is a get up and go process. They are beautiful. Welcome to the loc'd family.
Oh, and I’m LOVING my Sisterlocks!!!!! I spend so much money on products, tools, wigs.... so, the initial $875 I paid n maintenance fee of $125 is worth it to me!
Me too! I used to get my hair braided about every 2 months and spend $200 each time so it really wasn't a huge difference for me...lol. I am actually saving a bit.
My establishment was completed June 4-5 so I just got them done. My SC’s base price was $1200 up to 6 inches and $150 and inch after that. She is a certified SC and a brand ambassador. I had 9 inches to start but because I got my ends dusted and was 8 inches in some places, she only charged me for 8 inches. I absolutely loved my locs when I got up from her chair. She did an amazing job plus she made the whole experience wonderful. We had fun! It took her two sessions to complete mine. I don’t have high density hair so it was the inches and her base price which is why it cost more for me. I feel that it was money well spent and I look at it as an investment in myself. My reties will be $125. The overall experience was just amazing! I had researched for two years and took my time looking for the right consultant for me.
Thanks for sharing this information and being transparent. You and your hair are beautiful! The other factor is spending less time and energy in styling locs...this is truly a wake up and go hairstyle.
My establishment is scheduled for next month. Price quoted, $1640, 3 day installation. My consultant broke down her charges...I have 8 inches of very dense hair! Plus I'm in NYC. Not sure about the retightenings as of yet. I'm so excited!!!
My cost of my install was less but the cost my reties are about the same. I go to a trainee so that of course affects the pricing. I agree this is a darn good investment. The feeling of always ready hair was worth it for me. I can remember spending so much money as a loose natural on products, styling tools, and protective styles. So many hours and so much money invested. But now I have that time and some money back. Not one regret here.
Agreed! It is such a relief now that my hair is not a major concern anymore. My birthday is coming up and honeslty, it feels great to not have to worry about what I am going to do with it. It's going to look bomb regardless. Lol.
I don't disclose because it could vary from person to person based on length and the time it takes. However, you can always give them a starting point!! When I told my parents my mom understood and with my dad I had to break it down. I feel with some people when you tell them what you spent for installation they don't take into consideration the time and toll it takes on a person to stand and do that work and make sure they are taking care of us!
Thank you for sharing this info. This is one of the biggest reasons why women do not share the pricing which is totally understandable. Plus I have heard women say they have felt judged for disclosing the pricing as well.
@@amberdenisetv1232 yes!! I look at what I have spent over the years trying to maintain short cuts, relaxed styles and every 2 weeks maintenance styles. 🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️ This is working for me. I'm 2 months and a half in. No turning back.
We started around the same time May 28th and I paid 850.00 I discuss price if people ask certified Loctician 4 to 5 inches on low density fine textured hair.
I also will tell folks if asked, but I always put the disclaimer out there that it may be different for them so nobody comes for me after they hear their individual price..lol.
Appreciate you breaking down the cost. When you look at the big picture, it's really not that bad. I'm tender-headed. Do the reties hurt like the installment?
Thanks for watching! My reties went from a bit of tenderness during to pretty much no feeling at all. Afterwards they feel kinda like a fresh head of braids (not as tight though) , but that goes away after a few days.
I agree. I spend about $1200 a yr on my hair. Seems like a lot to some, but it's really not compared to what I was spending before with different styles and products.
@@NaomiLaBonita okay now that I can understand. 😂 No lie, when I made the decision to get mine, I was at my wits end also. I loved my afro, but I was over doing my hair.
I don't really talk about how much I spent because people look at me like I am crazy. They really don't understand the process and the time it takes to do an initial installation. My install was $950 and my reties are $200. I live in NYC so everything is a bit expensive.
I understand. My co workers gave me the craziest look when I told them $925, but I didn't care. It's not their heads or their coins. 😂 Now when they see me It's "your hair is growing so nicely" 😏
@glboogie1102 I do not live in NYC, but I was the same way before I got mine. I went to www.sisterlocks.com to find my consultant. I put my area in and looked up the consultants. They also have a list of trainees as well.

I am looking forward to that mark! I love to hear from women who have been in the game for years say they are still in love with their hair.

That's a good price, I was told $5,000 for about 17 - 20in of hair at my consultation 1.12.22

Omgosh...had no idea so expensive,
Yes it is pretty pricey upfront, but it was worth it considering how much I was spending on getting my hair done before.
Thank you for all the great info!
Did you mention how long your install took?

@@amberdenisetv1232 Thank you for responding. This really helps me. Appreciate you!
You are welcome! Glad I could help. 😊
Oh I just read the answer to my question
Thsnks
The cost for installation, retires & products, in my opinion is worth it.
I agree. I spend about $1200 a yr on my hair. Seems like a lot to some, but it's really not compared to what I was spending before with different styles and products.
Love my Sis Locs 8 months in. A good investment.
Does your daughter also have sisterlocks? Does she love it? Thank you for your transparency!
My daughter has traditional locks. She said sisterlocks were too small for her. Lol.
I just got quoted $5,000 for installation 😭 literally today
What?!😱😦 Omg! How much hair do you have? I feel like since the "little locs" are becoming trendy, ppl are doing alot with the pricing.
@@amberdenisetv1232 18in along the sides, 22in top and 14in crown (because the 👑 was "mistakenly cut" by a stylist recently)
Oh okay. I figured it had to be long for that price 😩 and you considering it?
@@amberdenisetv1232 I am, I really want them, but it's still a pretty steep cost. At this point it's either sisterlocs or a tapered cut 😅

I went for my consultation yesterday and was told it will be $2,200
That's not bad depending on hair type, length and location.
