Many New Faces, Lots of Dreads!

| Shikote

I’ve had two very busy weeks at Grateful Dreads.  I did a lot of dreads maintenance and some color and cuts too.  So many people are finding the salon lately which is exciting!  The salon is really producing some beautiful hair on all different hair types!  Again I didn’t get pictures of everyone, and there was some very beautiful color that I didn’t snap up, but there are plenty of great pics here to cap off the week!

Karen is so cool!  She came in with her ends burned off from bleach, so we did some color and intense repair treatments.  It’s only been a couple weeks, and you wouldn’t believe how good her hair looks!  We put color on it a second time, and it’s really staying and looks very natural and soft.  Her hair grows fast too!

Karen brought in her locked friend Tony for some tightening.

I tightened up his new growth and weaved in all the loose hairs.

Finished look. All tightened up! I like to use the Knotty Boy Tightening Gel for freshly tightened dreads.

A good picture of his parts. It's important to keep them very neat.

Ciarra came in for just a trim on her ends. I did some light shaping and left her hair as long as possible. We did some deep conditioners and a color mousse to richen what she already had.

I set her hair using Original Moxie Shape Shifter and Hair Bling then Ciarra sat under the dryer. We pulled the curls out to make it bouncy and big!

She pulled her hair up herself. I love the tousely look, and I totally love this 90’s retro sweater with her curls!

Thank you so much to everyone who came in this week and to all of you who have referred these nice people to the salon.  I’m really loving it!
