What the service achieves
This service pairs established loc styling with a deliberately shaved or closely trimmed lower section to create a defined silhouette. The outcome is shaped by your existing loc length, density, and the depth of the shaved area you choose. It emphasizes clear lines at the base while keeping the locked portion prominent above the trimmed zone.
Because the result depends on the starting condition of your hair, the stylist assesses how mature your locs are and how much length remains above the shaved area. That assessment determines the visual balance between the shaved bottom and the locked hair, helping you choose a style that fits both daily routine and special events.
Preparing for your appointment
A short consultation clarifies the exact silhouette you want and how the shaved bottom integrates with your locs. The listed price for this service is $80 and the catalogue duration is recorded as 0 MINUTES; please confirm the actual appointment length when booking so we can plan appropriately for your hair's condition and consultation time.
Christine Hair Salon & Beauty Inc. serves downtown Aurora clients commuting from nearby neighborhoods or the Aurora Transportation Center. Bring reference photos and be ready to discuss maintenance and event needs. Jun, Jul, Aug and Dec are our busiest months, so book earlier for summer or holiday dates to secure your preferred time.
Aftercare and seasonal upkeep
Maintaining the shaved bottom and the health of existing locs is a shared responsibility. Local climate — humid summers and cold winters — affects how a style reads and how often you may want touch-ups. The shaved area will need periodic trimming to preserve the crisp line, while the locked portion is cared for through your usual loc maintenance routine.
Consider practical trade-offs: a shaved bottom reduces bulk and simplifies hot-weather grooming, but it requires upkeep to stay sharp for formal events or professional appearances. The style appeals to professionals and families preparing for downtown activities, festivals, performances at Paramount Theatre, or RiverEdge Park events.
