Loc Release Journey


The Loc Release Journey is designed for guests who are ready to take down their locs while preserving as much natural hair as possible. Because every loc journey is different, all Loc Release services begin with an in-person consultation so we can assess your hair, discuss your goals, and recommend the best service plan for your release process.

Gently transition out of your locs with care, patience, and a plan.

Is Loc Release Right for You?

This service may be a good fit if:

  • You are ready to remove your locs without cutting them off.

  • You want to preserve as much loose natural hair as possible.

  • Your locs are baby locs, mature traditional locs, or higher-count locs.

  • You understand that loc release is a slow, detailed, time-based service.

  • You are open to multiple sessions if needed.

  • You want support with aftercare once your locs are released.

Loc Release may not be suitable for every guest. During your consultation, we will assess the condition of your hair and scalp and discuss whether this service is the best option for your goals.

How the Loc Release Journey Works

  • 1. Book Your Consultation

  • 2. Receive Your Package Recommendation

    After your consultation, we will recommend the best package for your release journey.

  • 3. Purchase Your Package

    Packages are paid before sessions are booked. Affirm financing may be available by request.

    Loc Release sessions are booked in 5-hour and 8-hour blocks. These blocks are reserved for approved package clients only.

Important Package Notes:

Loc Release Packages are based on scheduled service blocks, not a guaranteed completed takedown.

Completion time may vary based on: Loc count, Loc size, Loc maturity, Length, Density, Buildup, Matting, Shedding, Breakage, Overall hair and scalp condition

If your Loc Release is completed before all package blocks are used, any remaining unused full service blocks may be applied toward approved post-release care within 30 days.

Partial time remaining within a used block does not roll over, transfer, or convert to credit.

For example, if a 5-hour block is scheduled and your release is completed in 4 hours, the remaining 1 hour from that block does not carry over. However, if another full unused 5-hour block remains in your package, that full block may be used for approved aftercare.

Unused time cannot be refunded, transferred, rolled over indefinitely, converted to cash value, or applied toward retail, unrelated services, memberships, or vault packages.

Approved Post-Release Care

If you have unused full-service blocks after your Loc Release is complete, they may be used toward approved post-release care within 30 days.

Approved post-release care may include: Cleansing, Conditioning, Gentle detangling, Maintenance trim, Simple styling, Product guidance, Healthy hair care planning

Your stylist will recommend the best aftercare option based on the condition of your hair once the release is complete.

Payment Options

Packages must be paid before Loc Release sessions are booked.

Clients may pay in full or request an Affirm financing link after their consultation. If you are interested in using Affirm, please let us know during your consultation so we can send the appropriate payment link if your package is approved.

Affirm approval is handled through Affirm and is not guaranteed by Serenity Locs & Curls.
