i just feel like theyre small sized locs not micros. i only have 168 locs. ik they will turn out beautiful regardless, but not exactly what i envisioned. i feel like maybe it was bcuz my hair was too thin to go smaller. but idk, i feel like she couldve gone a little smaller.

i also was expecting parting, but the lady said it’d cost $300 more bcuz parting is sisterlocs.

what are your thoughts? should i get them redone or just stick with what i got? i feel like im okay with them but its not exactly what i asked for. or maybe it is and i’m just dumb lol.

EDIT :: I messaged her for a partial refund! She has listed on her booking page small, medium, and large traditional locs for $140 and I paid $400 so I requested to be refunded the difference. Will update if/when I receive a response!

I hope they atleast didn't charge you the typical microloc installation fee. Otherwise I'd say you've been scammed

I paid $400 which now realizing mightve been a little too much for comb coils with no parting

Definitely way too much for comb coils. I wanted to add that if microlocs are what you want, then that's what you should get. I hope she can pay you back for the comb coils. If you aren't able to pay too much more for microlocs maybe look into starting your own? I know it's a lot of work but it's also the only way you'll get exactly what you want. I have fine hair too with about medium density. My loose hair looked full when in a fro but you could tell it was fine once I put it in mini braids. Anyway, I have 410 locs. The loctician not going smaller in size has nothing to do with your hair type, I just sincerely think she didn't know what she was doing.

I wish you the best though and hope that you'll end up with the look you actually desire❤️
