Duration: 4–7 hours
Price: $250+ / $350+
Loc styling in Landover Hills lets you wear your established locs in new ways, from updos to special-occasion looks. Lizzy’s Styles Over Locs service takes place in a private studio where she works with one client at a time. This page explains which styles to consider, how to plan your appointment, and how to book.
Plan for 4 to 7 hours. Pricing runs $250+ or $350+, and the duration and cost vary with your density and the complexity of the style. Lizzy confirms yours at your consultation, and she requires that consultation before you book.
Styling over locs means arranging your existing locs into a planned look. Once your locs mature, you can wear them in many ways. The style changes how you wear your locs, not the locs themselves.
Many clients book a style for an event. Others want a change of pace, or a way to wear their locs while they take a break from daily handling. Either way, a good style starts with an honest look at what your locs can support.
Bring any of these ideas to your consultation:
Updos and low buns. Gather your locs up and away from your face and neck.
Half-up looks. Pull part of your locs up and let the rest hang.
Curled sets. Add shape and movement to your locs.
Protective styles. Tuck your locs away for a busy season or for travel.
Special-occasion looks. Plan a polished style for a wedding, a graduation, or a photoshoot.
Inspiration photos help a lot. Bring pictures from the front, back, and side if you have them. Lizzy then tells you what is realistic for your length and density, instead of promising to copy any photo exactly.
The two ask for different planning.
For an everyday style, you want something you can wear and enjoy without much fuss. A simpler look may take less time than a complex one, but plan for the full 4 to 7 hours until Lizzy confirms your time.
For a special occasion, timing matters most. Book well before your event, and ask at your consultation how far ahead to schedule. Planning ahead gives you time to talk through the exact look and to confirm it suits your hair.
Many clients also pair a style with maintenance. Ask Lizzy whether your locs need a retwist first, so your roots look neat before the style goes in.
Protective styles tuck your locs away, which reduces daily handling. During a busy season or a long trip, that can help protect your ends and edges while regular maintenance visits are harder to fit in.
Protective styling has limits, though. A style that pulls too tight can stress your roots, and heavy product can weigh your locs down. For that reason, tell Lizzy right away if anything feels tight during your appointment. A good style looks great and still respects your scalp.
Not every length or stage suits every style, and an honest answer beats a style that will not translate to your hair.
Newer locs. Younger, less mature locs often need gentler handling, so Lizzy may suggest simpler styles or a wait.
Established locs. Mature locs can usually support more elaborate updos and styles.
Length and density. These two decide which looks are realistic. Longer, denser locs give you more options.
Thin or damaged locs. If your locs show thinning or breakage, loc repair may need to come first.
Not sure what your locs can do? Send photos on WhatsApp, and Lizzy will tell you.
Lizzy requires a consultation before any styling. After that, the process follows four steps.
Consultation. Share your inspiration photos, your event date if you have one, and your goals. Lizzy checks your length and density and recommends a style.
Booking. You pay a non-refundable retainer to secure your appointment, then book your date. For an event, book early.
Styling session. On the day, Lizzy styles your locs. Plan for 4 to 7 hours, depending on your density and the complexity of the style.
Aftercare. Before you leave, ask how to keep your style looking good, how long to wear it, and how to take it down.
Long appointments go better with a little planning. Eat beforehand, wear comfortable clothes, and bring water and something to do. Ask Lizzy at your consultation how she plans the day, including breaks. Also follow any preparation instructions she gives you, such as whether to wash your hair first.
Small habits can help your style hold its shape longer.
Protect your hair at night. Sleep with a satin bonnet or scarf.
Limit touching and restyling. Constant handling can loosen a style and stress your locs.
Choose light products. The wrong product can weigh locs down, leave residue, and make a style fall apart sooner.
Follow Lizzy’s care notes. Her advice fits your hair and your style.
Book maintenance when the style comes down. Fresh, neat locs make your next style easier.
If buildup is a concern, ask about adding a basic detox or a premium detox to a future visit.
A little preparation helps you get more from your consultation.
Gather inspiration photos. Choose two or three styles you like, and note what you like about each.
Share your timeline. Tell Lizzy about your event date, or how long you want to wear the style.
Mention your comfort. Tell her about any tender spots, past reactions to tight styles, or things you want to avoid.
Take clear photos of your locs. Show your length, your roots, and the back of your head.
Ask about upkeep. Find out how long the style should last and how to care for it.
Lizzy requires a consultation for styling, and it also sets your timing and price. Choose the option that suits you:
A free photo or video review. Send clear, well-lit photos or a short video of your locs on WhatsApp, along with your inspiration photos. Lizzy replies with guidance.
A 30-minute live consultation for $25. Choose a virtual or an in-person session. Your $25 counts toward your first service.
After your consultation, you pay a non-refundable retainer to secure your appointment, and then you can book your Styles Over Locs service. Please give at least 24 hours’ notice if you need to reschedule or cancel. Late arrivals, same-day cancellations, and no-shows may forfeit the retainer, and the Payment Policy page explains the details.

Not necessarily. Your technique, your tension, and your product choices all matter. A style that pulls too tight or a heavy product can cause problems over time, so tell Lizzy if anything feels tight.
Book well before your event. Early booking gives you time to plan the right style for your hair and confirm it before the day. Ask Lizzy how far ahead to schedule.
Many clients do. Fresh, neat roots make a cleaner base for a style, so ask Lizzy whether your locs need a retwist first.
