Book Your Appointment with Loctician in Milton Keynes

A retie (retightening) or retwist is the process of tightening your locs at the root by interlocking, comb twisting or palm rolling new growth. Interlocking is a maintenance method where the end of each loc is gently threaded through the root to tighten new growth. This creates a secure, long-lasting hold that helps your locks stay neat and uniform between appointments. Perfect for small sized locks and active lifestyles.

Staying consistent with your retie schedule is key to healthy and uniform locks. When new growth goes too long without maintenance, it becomes more fragile and prone to thinning, tangling, or even breakage. Delaying your retie can disrupt your grid pattern and cause uneven tension, leading to weak spots over time. Keeping on track helps your locks stay uniform and strong in the long term and saves you from costly repairs later.

We recommend booking your retie every 4–6 weeks to tighten new growth and maintain your grid. Hair typically grows about half an inch in this time, so staying consistent helps prevent slippage or thinning at the roots and keeps your locks neat and uniform. Regular reties also reduce repair time and keep your hair looking its best.

If your last retie was over 6 weeks ago, please message before booking. Extended growth requires additional time and includes an extra fee. We’ll help you schedule an appointment to get your retie routine back on track.

Starting your loc journey begins with a free consultation so we can discuss your hair, desired style and also give you an accurate quote. During the consultation, we’ll review your preferences, loc size and installation method to find what works best for you. Prices start from £180 for traditional locks and £300 for microlocks. Your final quote will depend on hair length, density and desired outcome.

A transfer client is someone who already has established locs started by another loctician or salon and would like to continue their maintenance with us. Transfer clients are required to book a free consultation before their first appointment so we can assess your locks such as grid, size and overall condition. This helps us understand your history, discuss your goals and ensure your future reties or services are booked correctly.

Absolutely! We’re currently accepting transfer clients. You can book your appointment in advance, but a free consultation is required before your appointment date so we can assess your locs, review your previous maintenance routine and discuss your goals.
