Availability
Welcome to Sisterlocks & Microlocs by Almocado.
My name is Annette and I am a full time Certified Sisterlocks™ Consultant and Holistic Therapist based in South East London. I am also a full time mother (*smile*) with 4 beautiful children and in order to maintain a healthy work-life balance, I have reduced my Sisterlocks & Natural Hair Styling work days from 6 days a week to 4 days a week.
1) Re: Sunday Services
Many of you have been asking about this, but I'm sorry, I don't work on Sundays. If you call or email on Sundays I will get back to you on the next working day xx
2) Re: Mobile Appointments
Unfortunately, the mobile service for Sisterlocks™ maintenance (retightening) appointments has been discontinued until further notice.
3) Availability
My regular clients book their appointments 6-8 weeks in advance. This means that if you, as a prospective client call 'today' it is unlikely that you'll get a retightening or installation appointment for 'tomorrow' - however, as with any business, there will always be last minute availability due to cancellations or illness.
I promise I will fit you into the earliest available slot.
3.1) Sisterlocks™ Consultation Appointments:
These are held Wednesday to Saturday and last for approximately 1 hour.
NB. No CONSULTATION- No INSTALLATION. Sorry to be a stickler for this, but it really is important. You'll understand why when you come for your appointment.
3.2) Sisterlocks™ Maintenance (Retightening) Appointments:
During the week, maintenance appointments normally start from 09:00 a.m.
Evening appointments have been suspended indefinitely.
At the weekend, maintenance appointments start from 07:30 a.m. The last appointment is at 18:00.
On average, appointments last for about 3 hours; of course some clients are finished in less time than this and some take longer. Rates are discussed during your initial consultation.
Transfer Clients (clients wishing to join my practice from another consultant e.g. due to relocation) will be invited for a consultation prior to acceptance. There is a non refundable charge for this service.
3.3) Sisterlocks™ Installation Appointments:
Installations take place during the working week (Monday to Friday) and always start at 08:00 am. I'm unable to do installations on the weekend as Saturday is our busiest day for retightening clients.
For more information about what to expect during your installation, check out this video:
Please Note: the next available installation dates are from NOVEMBER (2022) onwards. I am currently maintaining a waiting list - please email should you wish to be added for consideration in case someone cancels.
4) Location:
Sisterlocks appointments are carriedout at Textured Trichology Ltd on Purley Way, approximately 20 mins bus journey from East Croydon or South Croydon stations. There is a free on-site car park.
5) Things to Remember
Your appointment is for YOU ONLY. Please do not bring guests with you. Consultation fees are charged per person attending.
NB I will ALWAYS respond to your phone call or email.
If you telephone me while I am working I may not always be able to answer your call (e.g. if I am giving a treatment or in therapy), however, I will ALWAYS acknowledge your call and will call or text to arrange a convenient time to follow up.
If it seems to be taking a while for me to respond to your text/call, it is because I am working a series of long days/late nights and I feel uncomfortable calling you at 11:30 pm. I'm usually looking for free time during the day in order to give you my full attention. Please be patient but if you think I may have forgotten - by all means feel free to text/call again and remind me :)
If you email me, please be patient as I do get a fair bit of mail and messages often get snapped up by my anti-spam filter. Using the term "Appointment Availability" in the subject header of your message will ensure your email is flagged as important and pushed to the front of the queue. It can however take up to 48 hours during busy times for a response to be generated. Rest assured I am not ignoring you! I just like to make sure everyone receives the respect and attention they deserve.

Remember to Sign off with your name (especially if you contact me by Text Msg or Whatsapp).
How else will I know to whom I am speaking?
When you write - please consider this:
If, after I've answered your query, you have no further questions or decide not to pursue an appointment, could you kindly respond with a 'thank you'? This way, I will at least know that you received my response.
I hope that this helps and I look forward to connecting with you
Be well x
