"I've been a Sinkor client for seven years. My locs have never been in better shape. They actually take the time to look at each loc individually — nothing is rushed. I've sent every person I know with locs here."
"Got my starter locs done here six months ago and they're thriving. The consultation before the installation was thorough — they explained what size would work for my texture, what to expect, everything. Best decision I made."
"I used to drive to Philadelphia for loc care. Switched to Sinkor two years ago and I won't go back. The quality is the same but Middletown is way closer and the stylists actually know my locs now."
Locs are a specialization, not a side service. Our stylists have spent decades working with every loc method, every natural texture, and every stage of the loc journey.
We don't guess what your locs need. We assess, diagnose, and treat with techniques built on real experience. That's the difference between locs that look good today and locs that thrive for decades.

Questions we hear from clients searching for locs near me, loc retwist Middletown DE, and starter locs Delaware.
Loc installs vary by hair length, density, desired loc size (micro vs traditional), and time required. We’ll confirm your exact price before we begin — no surprises at checkout.
Installation time depends on the loc type and your hair. Micro Locs and Sister Locs typically take 4–8 hours for a full head. Traditional Locs are generally faster — 2–4 hours. We’ll give you a realistic time estimate at your consultation so you can plan your day.
Yes — we strongly recommend a consultation before your first Sister Locs or Micro Locs install. It lets us assess your hair texture, density, and scalp health, walk you through sizing options, and set realistic expectations for the timeline and investment. Book a consultation through Vagaro to get started.
Absolutely. We see clients at every stage — brand new installations, locs that are a few months in, and mature locs that have been going for years. Whether you need a retwist, maintenance, repair, or just a fresh start on technique, we assess where you are and recommend the right service for your loc journey.
Loc retwist prices at Sinkor Beauty Salon in Middletown, DE range from $80–$150 depending on loc length, density, and the time required. Short locs start at $80; medium to long locs range $100–$150. Pricing is confirmed before we begin — no surprises at checkout. Book at vagaro.com/sinkorbeautysalon1.
Most clients retwist every 4–6 weeks. Active clients, swimmers, or those with fast hair growth may prefer every 3–4 weeks. Waiting longer than 8 weeks can cause locking and matting at the root. Your Sinkor stylist will recommend the right frequency for your specific loc size and growth pattern.
Yes. Sinkor Beauty Salon offers starter loc installation using palm rolling, comb coils, or two-strand twists — whichever method best suits your hair texture, desired loc size, and lifestyle. We include a full consultation to design your locs before the first twist. Starter loc pricing starts at $100.
Palm rolling is the traditional method — new growth is twisted with your palms and product to blend with the existing loc. Interlocking uses a tool to thread new growth through the loc, creating a more durable and longer-lasting hold. Interlocking is ideal for active clients, fine hair, or those who prefer extended time between appointments. Our stylists can walk you through both options.
Absolutely. Sinkor's clients travel from Bear, Wilmington, Newark, New Castle, Dover, Townsend, Smyrna, Elkton MD, and beyond. Our Middletown location on Summit Bridge Road is centrally located in New Castle County — easily accessible from I-95, Route 1, and US-40.
Yes. Our stylists handle loc repair, loc thinning, unraveling locs, and breakage repair. Pricing depends on the number of locs affected and the scope of repair needed. We assess your locs in detail and give you an honest evaluation before beginning any repair work.
A loc detox is a deep-cleansing treatment designed to remove product buildup, residue, and debris that regular shampoo doesn't fully lift. Signs you need a loc detox: locs feel heavy or waxy, scalp is persistently itchy, or locs look dull even after washing. At Sinkor, we perform a clarifying soak followed by a professional shampoo and rinse process. Many clients combine a loc detox with a retwist for a complete loc wash and retwist appointment.
Yes. Faux locs are a temporary loc-style installation using wrapping or crochet techniques with natural or synthetic hair. They give the appearance of real locs without the permanent commitment — a great protective style for clients who want to try the loc aesthetic before installing permanent dreadlocks. Installation time and pricing depend on length and the method used. Book a consultation to discuss options.
Sisterlocks are a specific, proprietary loc system characterized by very small, uniform locs installed using a precision interlocking tool. They require a certified Sisterlocks consultant and have a distinct maintenance method. Microlocs are similar in size but are not necessarily installed using the Sisterlocks proprietary method — they use any small-section technique and are more flexible in terms of stylist training and maintenance approach. Both create dense, fine dreadlocks with excellent styling versatility. Ask your stylist which is the better fit for your hair texture and lifestyle.
Often, yes. Loc reattachment is possible when both the detached loc and the root section are in sufficient condition. Our stylists assess the break point, prepare both ends, and reattach using a technique that holds and integrates naturally. If the loc is too short or the root too fragile for reattachment, we'll tell you honestly and discuss repair alternatives — never guess-and-charge.
