What the session includes
A Wicks dread appointment at Heaven Lounge Beauty Parlor is an installation and initial maintenance session focused on forming distinct locs and establishing a maintenance plan. Clients should expect a consultation, sectioning and shaping of the locs, and stylist-guided finishing. The salon books a single comprehensive session to complete the installation and advise on next steps.
The full session for this service is scheduled for 269 minutes and priced at $350. That time is used for consultation, careful section work, forming each loc, and discussing home care. Exact steps are tailored to the client’s hair density and the look you and your stylist agree on.
Preparing and planning
Arrive with clean, product-free hair and allow time to settle into the 269-minute appointment. Bring reference photos or examples of loc size and spacing you prefer. Fort Myers clients who commute along Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard or use LeeTran routes often request early, evening, or weekend appointments for easier scheduling.
Because the installation is a significant time commitment, plan to block out the full session and consider transportation and parking near Dunbar or the River District. The stylist will review aftercare and maintenance expectations so you can decide whether the Wicks dread approach fits your routine and schedule.
Aftercare and local factors
Aftercare recommendations are discussed at the appointment and depend on your lifestyle and the locs’ formation. Fort Myers’ hot, humid climate affects drying time and may influence choosing lighter at-home products and scheduling touch-ups. Expect to follow a maintenance routine the stylist outlines to keep locs neat as they settle.
Heaven Lounge serves Fort Myers neighborhoods including Dunbar, Page Park, and nearby areas like Cape Coral and North Fort Myers. Flexible early, evening, and weekend times help clients balance work, family, and transit. The stylist will suggest local-friendly care practices you can follow between salon visits.
