Include the amount you'd like to invest.
What is the name of the locking technique that we will be learning?
Oddly enough, we are still working on the name for the technique. We will confirm our technique name on or before the course launches. As of now, we will refer to the technique as interlocks.
What is the cost of this course?
We have not yet solidified the investment cost, as we are still building a full-bodied course experience. The course may cost between $1,500 - $2,000. The mentioned price is a rough estimate. We can guarantee that participants will receive much more value than their investment.
How much can newly trained locticians expect to charge for the locking technique?
Our trained locticians can expect to charge around $900 for an establishment. Therefore, you must understand the importance of providing a full experience for your clientfriends. We will go over this in our course.
Will this course include supplies?
Absolutely. This course will include the necessary supplies for you to launch your business.
When will the course be launched?
We are looking to launch sometime at the end of the second quarter or early 3rd (this year).
Can we arrange a payment plan?
Absolutely. Let us know in advance if you would like to arrange a payment plan.
Note: Collected funds are 100% refundable if it has been determined that you are not a good fit for our course at this time.
*All funds are due prior to course start date. Funds become non-refundable once you accept our official course agreement document.
Do I have to take the retightening class with you?
No. The Sisterlock Company offers retightening classes, priced at $250. Unfortunately, they do not offer post class support nor assistance with corrections. Some have also indicated that the class moved too quickly for them and the class size was a bit larger. We didn’t want this to be our testimony, so we decided to hold smaller classes so that we can provide thorough training with extended support/corrections for an additional 6 month post class.
If I take the class, do I have to retighten my hair on my own?"
No. Some individuals take the class just so can retighten their hair in a pitch. We have a few who will retighten a portion of their head (front or back) and allow me/their consultant to finish the remaining portion. Others will retighten their entire head and book 1-3 appointments throughout the year to ensure the grid hasn’t been compromised.
How much hair should I leave out for the class?
It is recommended that you leave a few rows un-tightened for the retightening class (See below).
Section your hair in four sections, part down the middle and ear to ear.
- 3 rows from the bottom left section (near the ear)
- 3 rows from the bottom right secion (near the ear)
- 2 rows from the bottom left section (bottom row)
- 2 rows from the bottom right section (bottom row)
* Hair should not exceed 1" of new growth. Growth over 1" can make it challenging for novice.
My Sisterlocks were newly installed, can I take the class?"
Most likely no. You hair has to be stable and clear from slippage. If you’d like to take the class but not sure if you are illegible, check with your consultant.
How do I know which class to sign up for?
Different hair types require different patterns/locking techniques.
Session 1 is reserved for individuals who have a 3 locking pattern.
Session 2 is reserved for individuals who have a 4 locking pattern.
Not sure sure of your locking pattern?
Ask your consultant for your locking pattern or book a consultation (Book Online)(javascript:void(0)).
I wear glasses, will that be a problem for the class? "
Eye glasses can interfere with retightening locs close to the ears. Those who wear contact lens find it easier to navigate in that area.
My nails are long, is that going to be a problem? "
Typically, students who have long nails find it challenging to retighten their locks.
If I retighten my hair will this impact my retightening cost?
Typically individuals will notice a decrease in cost when they go for retightenings. The more you retighten, the less your consultant would have to retighten which will drive cost down. Check with your consultant to confirm.
What is the class size?
To ensure that the class size remains small, we will accept up to 4 students per class.
What if I lose my retightening tool?
Not a problem, our reordering resources will be provided.
How often are retightening appointments scheduled?
Typically, I will see my clients every other month (6x a year).
How long do retightenings typically take?
The length of time depends on the amount of new growth.
On average if repair work is not required, retightening will take:
1hr for Interlocks
2hr - 3hrs for Sisterlocks
Is it painful to have locks established and maintained?
Everyone's tolerance level is different. Most of my clients do not feel any discomfort. I do have a client or two who are extremely tenderheaded. My goal is to avoid you feeling discomfort, so I incorporate a few techniques to assistance when individuals feel discomfort.
What will be my daily maintenance routine?
Sisterlocks and Interlocks are low maintenance. In fact, they do not require much at all. Most will wake, shake and go. What I can say, you will gain time back once your hair is locked. During your consultation, you will receive addition tips when it comes to your new set of locks.
Do I need to purchase products?
Sisterlocks and Interlocks are offered as a package, which includes your Starter Shampoo. You will use this shampoo only when it comes to shampooing your hair, at least until you pass the slippage phase.
We do recommend purchasing (2) spray bottles, one for water and the other for your shampoo.
What is the cost of Sisterlock and RYL Interlock establishments?
Sisterlock Establishments $1300 (Flat Rate, up to 6" of growth)
The Ultimate VIP Experience + $300 (Optional)
Sisterlock Establishments + The Ultimate VIP Experience $1,600.00
RYL Interlock Establishments $600 (Flat Rate, up to 6" of growth)
In efforts to maintain transparency, you should know, not all consultants/trainees price their establishments based on a flat rate. In fact, to my knowledge, I am the only one in CT with this pricing model. Shop around to find a consultant with a pricing structure that will work best.
What is the cost to maintain Sisterlocks and RYL Interlocks?
A stopwatch is used to track "active" retightening time. If we need to stop for any reason, the stopwatch is stopped as well.
Sisterlock Retightening Maintenance
1-2 hrs = $126
3 hrs = $189
4hrs = $220.50
Most of my clients pay between $126 - $189 for their Sisterlock Retightenings.
RYL Interlock Retightening Maintenance:
1-2 hrs = $126
What would NOT make me a good candidate for getting Sisterlocks or RYL Interlocks?
Below are some reasons why you should hold off moving forward:
- You are still on the fence about locking your hair. You will know when the time is right for you, there will be no doubts about it.
- You will not be able to maintain your Sisterlocks or Interlocks. Your grid and locks will be compromised if you do not keep up on your maintenance.
I'm ready to move forward, what are my next steps?"
Refer to the "Moving Forward" section of this webpage.
If I schedule a retightening class, am I losing my spot with my consultant?"
Absolutely not! Your loctician wants to make sure that you have everything you need to take care of your hair until you schedule your next appointment with them.
Can I wait to schedule an appointment with my loctician until after the mandatory shutdown is over?
You can, but it’s more ideal to have your hair maintained in the meantime. If you wait, you run the risk of having some damage to your locs and parting foundation. By waiting, it’ll likely cost you extra time and money.
How are the virtual classes delivered?
You’ll have your virtual classes delivered over a video conference service called Zoom. You only need a desktop, laptop, tablet or smartphone, an internet connection, and decent lighting.
Will my consultant be present for the virtual class?
Not for the entire class, but as long as they’re available, they’ll be in the class to welcome you to.
What’s included in the cost of my virtual retightening class?
$333.78 for 1.5 hours of 1-on-1 instruction and your kit, if more time is needed, it will be given.
For those who are local to CT, you will receive a complimentary 30 minute in person recap. Appointments will be scheduled after our nationwide shutdown.
6 months of complimentary support included:
- if you need a refresher
- if you need reassurance that you are doing it corrrectly
- if you have questions about the process
- etc.

How will I receive the kit?

Will I receive additional information about my virtual class?
Yes, once your virtual class is paid for and a date and time for the class have been determined, you’ll receive an email with your meeting invitation along with online video conferencing details.

Give and Take (Tardiness):
I understand that sometimes there is traffic, or buses are running late, or you couldn't find your house keys.
You will be granted a 15 minute grace period. However, if 15 minutes has elapsed after your scheduled appointment time, you may need to reschedule your appointment. In the event that I have time to honor your appointment, even if you are up to 20 minutes late, the late arrival fee schedule takes effect:
