Some Hiatus!
Hi everyone,  Whew! That was some hiatus!  What was I doing, you ask? These past few months I’ve been finishing up my undergraduate degree. Now that I’m completely finished, I’m ready to start taking clients again, and I will be responding to emails in the order in which they were received. As always, service is on a first-replied-first-served basis.  Hope to see some lovely new...

Phone calls
Hi there everyone,  I’ve been getting some calls from unknown numbers on my phone and I just thought I should make a post online about it. I’m not sure if these calls are for dreads.  I do not keep client numbers in my phone beyond our business with your appointment andI do not answer calls from unknown numbers. Furthermore, I delete all voicemail messages from unknown numbers. I get...

Why I Got Rid of My Dreads
Hello to my lovely clients/soon to be clients, I have been delaying this post for some time because I was not quite sure what to say. I guess I’ll start this way: On December 13th, 5 years and 4 months to the day, I cut off my dreadlocks. I have needed some time to digest the experience my dreadlocks afforded me. The reasons I have cut my dreads are still a little cloudy. What comes to my...

Tools and Techniques
  Why do you spend so much time on the dreads you do when some salons do them in half the time?     I take pride in my work. Dreads are something I genuinely enjoy creating for people. While I independently book all of my appointments, someone doing dreads at a salon may attempt to see 2-4 people per day to maximize the profit for the salon. To make the dreading process quicker, most salons...

Mature Dreads
Can I condition my mature dreads?  I would be very careful with this, but yes it can be done. Don’t attempt this unless your dreads are established, mature dreads, and at least 1.5 years old. Use an amount of conditioner about the size of a dime, rub your palms together, and run it over your dreads on the outside. Do not massage the conditioner into the dread. Rinse very well. Do not do this...

New Dreads
Why do my new dreads stick up and make me look like Sideshow Bob? This is just because your hair is suddenly very tight and stiff against your scalp. They usually relax in 3-5 days after your first wash.  My dreads are great, but when will they look how I expect dreads to look?  Whoa, slow down there. Dreads require a lot of patience and about 6 months to a year to mature, no matter how...

Before Dreading
What are dreadlocks?  Dreadlocks are matted strands, or “locks” of hair that form over time naturally if hair is not brushed due to individual hairs rubbing together and causing friction.  They are not dirty. This is a misattributed stereotype. They can (AND SHOULD!) be washed just like regular hair. Dreads are a permanent solution to curly, unmanageable hair types, but can be made in...

Appointment FAQ
To Do and Bring: Have a clear idea of what you would like to have done so you can express that to me.  I try to let everyone involved know if it will be a little later.  Research dreadlocks online so you can have the best idea of what to expect. Send me pictures of your hair before the appointment to help my estimate. If you’re wary, you can cut or blur the face out. I just need to see...
