Traditional Dreadlock Extensions
Dr. LocGenie’s Traditional Dreadlock Extensions are expertly handcrafted using 100% afro-textured natural human hair, designed to mimic the look and feel of naturally grown locs. Each loc is meticulously created to blend seamlessly with your natural hair.
During the installation process, I permanently attach the dreadlock extensions by intertwining them with your existing hair, ensuring a natural and long-lasting result. Our Traditional Dreadlock Extensions are exclusively available in the 0.4 cm small size, chosen for its most natural and authentic appearance.
For a successful installation, your hair should be at least 2 inches and no longer than 4 inches. If your hair exceeds 4 inches, you can combine our Instant Loc service with your installation at a discounted rate. Please note that this discount only applies when both services are booked together. If you’re unsure about the best option for your hair, schedule a consultation with us. We’ll discuss your goals and guide you through the best solutions tailored to your needs.
Average installation time is 4 to 6 hours and with proper care and maintenance, Dr. LocGenie’s traditional dreadlock extensions can last a lifetime. To preserve their integrity and extend their lifespan, avoid using bleach or harsh chemical dyes. Gentle care and mindful styling will keep your loc extensions looking vibrant and natural for years to come.


Curly Genie Loc Extensions
Dr. LocGenie’s Genie Loc Curly Extensions are handcrafted using natural 3B/3C textured human hair, designed to mimic the look and feel of naturally grown curly locs. Each loc extension is carefully made to provide a seamless, authentic appearance. Our Genie Locs come in sizes ranging from small to large, tailored to match each client’s unique hair density. Every loc is custom-made to ensure a perfect fit and natural-looking result.
During installation, the extensions are intertwined with your natural hair, creating a permanent and natural-looking result. As your locs mature, you can expect to maintain 3-4 inches of beautiful curls at the ends, adding a unique and stylish touch to your look. Average installation time is 4 to 6 hours.
For a successful installation, your hair should be at least 4.5 inches. If your hair is longer than 4.5 inches, choose a loc extension length that complements your natural hair. For example, if your hair extends past your shoulders, consider selecting 16-inch extensions or longer. Opting for shorter extensions, like 10 inches, may require trimming your natural hair for a seamless blend without interfering with the curls.
The option to remove the curls is available to should be discussed before installation. If you’re unsure about the best option for your hair, schedule a consultation with us. We’ll discuss your goals and guide you through the best solutions tailored to your needs.
Instant Locs
Our Instant Locs service involves manually intertwining the strands of your natural hair to create fully matured dreadlocks. This technique allows you to skip the traditional starter loc stage of comb coils, achieving a well-formed, mature loc appearance from day one. o additional hair is used — only your natural hair is transformed.
With Instant Locs, there’s no need to worry about unraveling or excessive expansion. You’ll leave with neat, securely formed locs that are ready for the next stage of your loc journey, offering a hassle-free start to your loc experience.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I get dreadlock extensions if my hair is thin?
Yes, we can customize the locs the match your exact density.
Will thinning edges affect my installation process?
No and yes. At the beginning of the installation process, Dr. LocGenie will ask a few questions to determine whether the thinning is temporary or permanent. Over time, as your hair settles between retwist sessions, thinning areas will become less noticeable, resulting in a fuller, more natural look than when your retwist is fresh.
Is there parking available?
When visiting Dr. LocGenie, you have two convenient parking options:
- Public Paid Meters: Paid meter parking is available directly in front of the salon for easy access.
- Free Parking: You can also find free parking between I St/18th St and G St/18th St, just a short walk from the salon.
Plan accordingly to ensure a smooth and hassle-free visit!
