Brigid, Hanna, and I started the day with Brigid’s dreads session. It took around four hours, and her hair created beautiful new dreads!!
Heather came later that afternoon, and we started her dreadlocks! Very different hair and locks than earlier in the day. Heather is an amazing yoga instructor in the area. I’m excited to watch her hair as the locks grow and mature!!
Happy Birthday Lion!
Happy Earth Day everyone!
I love when dogs come to the salon! And I love when amazing people come to the salon!! So I really had fun when Maeve brought in Freya, and I got to pratice some braids in her hair. I’m really making progress with my braids endeavour!
The salon has been very busy! Hash Bash just happened, and we’ve been working out some new additions for Grateful Dreads in between doing some very fun and beautiful hair!!
Elizabeth, her bridesmaids, her make up artist, and myself all met at Grateful Dreads Saturday morning to get ready for her wedding at the Elk’s Lodge that night. What a fun bunch of ladies! These are some pics of us getting ready.
Thanks so much Liz for letting me be part of your fun wedding day!!

Mike really got some great shots!! I took some fun behind-the-scenes photos with my phone:
Hash Bash is this coming weekend! I’ll be there passing out fliers and talking to people about Grateful Dreads. See you in the Diag!!!!
Alex came to Grateful Dreads about 5 weeks ago for new dreads. After around a month, new dreads will start to look fuzzy and like they are falling out. This is because the new dread work is tightening towards the center of each dreadlock. The tightening causes any shorter hairs to fall out at the roots and the ends to look longer. These pics are of Alex at his first tightening session about 5 weeks after we put in his dreads.
He came in for a tightening session, and I workied in all the loose hairs, tightened his roots and ends, and put on some tightening gel by Knotty Boy. Before tightening, I washed Alex’s hair with a clarifying tea tree shampoo and separated any dreads that were stuck together.
Thank you Alex!
