I had been in the northern VA area for a bit over a year and was getting very discouraged about the care of my locs. After some long trips to MD and some unsuccessful tries with a couple of other stylist, I finally found my answer: Locks-4-Ever! From the moment I sent an email I knew this would work out as I received a response within 24 hours. Not only that, I dropped into the shop for a consult and received a warm hug from Charlotte and pleasant greetings from her team and clients. I was scheduled for my service within a week and the service was AWESOME! Not only do they have great service but the salon is warm and relaxing and everyone is like family. I also like that they are community involved. My faith in the area has been restored (although I take a little bit of a drive to get there - it is worth it). Thanks for the love and the blessing of my hair!!! read more

So excited and thankful to have begun my sister lock journey under the masterful hands of Charlotte Higginbotham Van-Horn, owner and operator of LOCKS-4-EVER. Charlotte expertise and knowledge of the sister lock process is evident by the service which she provides. I would be remiss if I did not mention the excellent customer care that I experienced. I feel such freedom and a sense of renewal. Somehow the installation did not seem to take too long since the salon is absolutely beautiful and the salon atmosphere exudes serenity and positivity. It was such a joy and pleasure to be in the midst of such amazing and talented women who comprise the team. The team and the clients charged the atmosphere with great conversation, laughter and fun. As I begin my sister lock journey the awesome memories created at LOCKS-4-EVER will not soon be forgotten. read more

I have been going to LOCKS-4-EVER for over two years and could not be happier with the excellent service I receive every single visit. First of all, my hair was in a deplorable state on my initial visit; any other stylist would have shy away from the challenge of taking me on. But not my Charlotte (owner). She was very patient in nurturing my beautiful sister locks and brought them back to life. I also love the atmosphere and the bonding between clients, Charlotte and the other stylists. I always look forward to every appointment knowing that I will be treated like a "queen" and pampered throughout my visit. LOCK-4-EVER is like family to me and wouldn't think of going anywhere else, Thank you ladies for always making me feel SPECIAL!!! read more

I have been going to Charlotte at Locks-4-Ever for over two years now, and I really appreciate the professionalism with which Charlotte runs this shop, and how well she cares for my hair! It is so refreshing to go to a salon that is professionally maintained, and the atmosphere is warm, comfortable, and cozy. Charlotte installed my daughter's locks and Yvette maintains them. My daughter is 11, and she too has the highest praise for this team of excellent consultants! Occasionally, Carolyn will help with our maintenance, and she too is very professional, warm, and welcoming. We are in great hands with Charlotte, Yvette, and Carolyn, and I routinely refer anyone who inquires about my hair to Locks-4-Ever. read more

I'm incredibly grateful for the shop, I love my hair and this journey has been a joy. read more

Charlotte is simply the best. She was prompt, very professional, sincere, caring, and friendly. I felt at home and totally like family. She greeted me with a smile and hug upon every entrance into the shop. Upon exiting, she hugged and walked me out to make sure I got into my car safely. I recommend her to EVERYONE! The salon is very inviting, clean, and free of nonsense! I couldn't have asked for a better experience! Love you Charlotte!!!!!! read more

Awesome Sisterlocks loctician and owner. B u tee ful salon! Unbelievable experience. When you are in Charlotte's presence, you not only get your hair "did", but you get fed - from her wisdom, humor, insight, loving and light presence, etc. I left not only with a new hairdo, but was also affirmed, strengthened, empowered, encouraged, amused and loved.
