I started using Lockworx when Frank first opened it a LONG time ago. I went in to get my very long and thick hair permed since it was the only way I knew how to wear it. He said no, you don't need it permed, I'll give it a good cut that will be nicer. I was stunned at how nice my hair looked!! He could have permed it and gotten a LOT more money out of me that day since my hair usually took two perms! I was impressed, and have been a pretty steady customer ever since. I moved to Holt for fifteen years, but went back after skipping around and never finding a stylist that cut my hair as well as the well trained staff at Lockworx. They always ask me about additional services, and I am glad they do or I would forget to have my brows waxed, etc!! I get compliments on my hair a LOT, and I know it is due to their professional advice and constantly upgraded skills. My current stylist is Mandy, and she is always suggesting new highlights, updates, etc to keep me current.

• Pros: great parking, it is close, free, and next to Beaners!!
• Cons: none

Great service, knowledgeable staff

Lockworx is a very professional and welcoming salon. The little touches such as the head and neck massage that is given before a hair cut to the warm towel that is placed under your neck before your shampoo makes it a very nice and relaxing experience. As a very busy working mother, I appreciate people actually listening to me and providing accurate feedback. At my first visit, my stylist, Kaylei, listened to what I wanted (a cut and style that was easy to care for yet still professional looking) and then offered suggestions as to what would best suit me. She was also the first stylist who actually cut my hair based on how I parted it rather than my natural part. After she was finished with the cut, she told me exactly what she was doing to style my hair and how I could duplicate the look at home.

I will definitely be returning to this salon! Just make sure you make an appointment as they fill up quickly! My only annoyance is that the sign by the street is mis-spelled (Lockworks). For a truly professional look, they should pay to have that corrected.

• Pros: Great staff, competitive pricing
• Cons: Their appointments fill up quickly

Superb Salon

What a cool salon. I'm so glad I didn't let the bad reviews keep me from this salon. Everyone was very friendly, very nice, and very fun. After some time without any hair (cancer stinks!) when I finally had hair again I was very nervous about how to style it, work with it, etc. Jennifer was great. Made me feel comfortable. I have my next appointment booked!

• Pros: Service
• Cons: None
