Hair salon in Charlotte, NC
Naturaltress Salon is a Charlotte hair studio located at 8029 Roest Lane focused on natural hair, locs, and thermal styling. The salon describes its mission as embracing natural beauty, with stylists crafting personalized looks using what the business describes as top-notch products and techniques meant to keep hair healthy and vibrant through the styling process, whether a client is wearing locs or opting for a sleek thermal finish. The salon's specialty is microlocs, a low-manipulation, scalp-friendly loc style built from roughly 200 to 300-plus small, precisely sectioned locs. Naturaltress is direct with clients about what the process demands: microlocs require consistency, time, and respect for hair's natural texture, and are not a quick-turnaround service. A Starter Microlocs package begins at $600, with a Standard Density Microloc Installation running $450 to $600 for approximately 250 to 350 individual locs, using either a clean grid or brick-lay parting pattern and a braid-or-twist method with interlocked roots. The service includes a wash, blow-dry, and light finish, and given the intricacy of the parting and installation work, a full install typically takes around 10 hours and may be split across multiple sessions to keep the process manageable for both client and stylist. The salon offers free parking and amenities like WiFi and a TV for clients settling in for a longer appointment, reflecting the extended time many of its core services require. Naturaltress asks that clients cancel at least 48 hours in advance, as deposits are not refunded for late cancellations or no-shows given the amount of dedicated time each appointment demands. Having recently relocated, the salon notes on its booking page that returning clients should double check they have the correct address before their visit. For clients pursuing the meticulous, long-term commitment of a well-installed microloc journey, Naturaltress Salon has built its practice around that specialty.
