What the service includes
This service is for clients with 100 locs or less. Hair is shampooed first, then maintenance is performed using the palm roll method to tidy and maintain individual locs. A finished hairstyling service is not included, so expect maintenance only and plan a separate booking if you want a styled look afterward.
The appointment is listed at a set price and time: $100 for 60 minutes. If you have more than 100 locs, this specific service is not applicable; please contact the salon to discuss an alternate appointment or recommendation so your needs and timing can be evaluated.
How the palm roll works
Palm rolling is a manual maintenance technique that repositions and compresses each loc between the palms to encourage a neater formation at the roots and along the shaft. In this appointment, palm rolling follows a professional shampoo to allow the hair to be worked cleanly and to reduce surface residue during maintenance.
The result tends to be tidier, more uniform locs while preserving overall length. Outcomes depend on loc maturity, thickness, and natural texture; some locs respond quickly while others need repeated maintenance. Palm rolling is a maintenance-focused method and differs from services that recreate or heavily reshape loc patterns.
Preparing and aftercare notes
Arrive with any reference photos or notes about tension points and previous maintenance to help the stylist tailor the session. Asili’s Pikesville location is convenient for commuters along Reisterstown Road and I-695, so scheduling before or after work is common—plan your timing knowing this is a maintenance-only appointment.
Because shampooing is part of the service, hair may be damp after treatment; local Mid-Atlantic humidity can affect drying time and how a finished look sits. If you need a styled finish or faster drying, book an additional styling service or allow time for natural or assisted drying after your maintenance session.
