About this service
We install traditional dreadlocks in both permanent and temporary forms. Permanent dreadlocks are started from your own hair; temporary dreadlocks are pre-made in human hair or synthetic fibre and attached so they can be removed cleanly later.
Before we start we agree on the loc size, the parting pattern and how you want the ends finished, so the look you leave with is the look you planned.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between dreadlocks and Sisterlocks?
Dreadlocks are generally thicker and can be started with several methods. Sisterlocks are much finer, installed with a specific tool and grid, and behave more like loose hair when styled.
How long does hair need to be to start dreadlocks?
About 5 to 8 cm (2 to 3 inches) is enough for most textures. Shorter hair can be started but the early locs will be less defined.
