Question 1

Do I have to take the retightening class with you?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 2

If I take the class, do I have to retighten my hair on my own?"

Accepted Answer

During COVID-19 pandemic: Yes.   Post COVID-19 pandemic: 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.

Question 3

How much hair should I leave out for the class?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 4

My Sisterlocks were newly installed, can I take the class?"

Accepted Answer

During COVID-19 pandemic: Yes.   Post COVID-19 pandemic: 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.

Question 5

How do I know which class to sign up for?

Accepted Answer

During COVID-19 pandemic: 1x1 classes offered   Post COVID-19 pandemic: 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).

Question 6

I wear glasses, will that be a problem for the class? "

Accepted Answer

Eye glasses can interfere with retightening locs close to the ears. Those who wear contact lens find it easier to navigate in that area.

Question 7

My nails are long, is that going to be a problem? "

Accepted Answer

Typically, students who have long nails find it challenging to retighten their locks.

Question 8

If I retighten my hair will this impact my retightening cost?

Accepted Answer

During COVID-19 pandemic: You will have to retightening your hair.   Post COVID-19 pandemic:   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.
