Our Process
Loc Maintenance
The process of loc maintenance remains the same worldwide but what sets us apart from other loc maintenance salons in Cincinnati is that we only use salon-grade natural products. Our stylists, a calming atmosphere and a luxury salon experience are just cherry on the cake. The range of loc maintenance near Cincinnati includes;
Scalp Cleansing
First step in loc maintenance is scalp analysis to determine the right product & process for your comfort. A thorough scalp cleansing is a mandatory step in the maintenance to make sure that all dirt and debris are removed prior to twisting. We use professional loc shampoos or cleansers to carefully eliminate dirty oil and preserve the natural oil.
Conditioning
For healthy, shiny-looking locs, conditioning is an essential step in the maintenance process. To lock in the natural oils and moisturize the locs, a good conditioning treatment works wonders. Specifically for dry and or color treated hair.
Hot oil treatment
Locking in all the nutrients and ensuring extra strength to the hair follicles, a good hot oil treatment is of utmost importance. At Designerae, we use The Healing Honee, which eliminates dryness, seals in moisture, and adds shine resulting in healthier hair.

Loc Repair
The process of loc repair is not limited to cleaning or styling; it is the fusion of various loc services that maintain your locs for different seasons. Over the years, locs get damaged due to the harsh environment and usage of harmful chemicals in shampoo and products. You might need deep scalp cleaning, conditioning, trimming, etc.
Loc Detoxing/Deep Cleaning
A loc detox and deep cleaning is our proven technique to deeply clean your locs from the scalp. When you request the loc repair near Cincinnati, Ohio, our loctician uses natural products from top brands to detox the locs that remove unwanted dust and other particles. With this, you will get your locs deeply cleaned, bringing back the shine and glam.
Loc Styling
Once you get your locs cleaned, the next step is to get a style that stands out from the crowd. In this service of loc repair near Cincinnati, Ohio, our loctician trims the uneven locs precisely. Whether you need a simple loc style or curls, we will let you select based on your preferences.

With an approach of “You Select, We Apply,” we provide you with a custom color that matches your unique personality. We provide consultation on custom color per your locs needs.

Crochet Maintenance
The crochet maintenance is the expert-backed process to create and maintain the locs. At Designerae, we follow the proven crochet needling process to pull the hair and tighten each strand in a specified pattern.
Analyze Your Locs
When you visit our salon during an appointment, our loctician analyzes your locs carefully. This step aims to get an idea about the loose strands and when to use the crochet needling while re-managing your locs. Once our expert gets a proper idea of locs, it proceeds with the further step.
Use Crochet Needle
In this step, our loctician uses the crochet to hook it through the center of the locs that need to be tightened. It is a safe crochet needling approach and causes minimal pain. After that, the needle is used to hook the strand and create knots in a specified manner. The steps are repeated unless every loc gets in the required position.
Style The Locs
Once the crochet maintenance process is completed, our expert style the locs per your desired needs. For this, we usually prefer our professionally-backed haircare products like Honee Oil. Our crochet maintenance near Cincinnati includes a professional approach to providing well-maintained locs.
