Veronica had an appointment for her birthday! We did this beautiful updo with dreads and orchids! I love how her dreads mimic the branches of typical orchid plants!
Happy birthday Veronica! What a perfect summer day!
It’s been a fun and busy week! Thank you to all of you who’ve stopped by! Happy Summer!
It’s been an exceptional week full of great-looking clients and enjoyable company. These are some pics of the all-stars of Grateful Dreads!
Thank you to all of the new people who’ve come through for specialty work! And thank you so much to those of you who return. Good times at the shop!
AJ is a really cool, really unique guy! It’s very suiting that he would choose dreadlocks for a hairstyle. AJ grew his hair for three years because, after researching what it takes to have dreads, he knew he’d need the extra length. AJ and I first talked over a year ago (before Grateful Dreads!) about putting in dreads. When the time came, he found this webpage and came to see me again! Our consultation was fun! The dreads session was totally awesome! AJ’s dreads took about 7 hours. We decided to tuck in his ends right away which I don’t usually do. I’d done it before with extensions, and it was okay. So I sent him home with important instructions to palm roll, palm roll, and palm roll those new dreads!!
Thanks so much AJ! I really had a good time. You are so knowledgable on so many cool things. I hope everyone else loves your dreads as much as we do!
The weather has been beautiful these past couple days! Spring is in full swing, and the heat of summer is on its way. I love the summer outfits and hairstyles that people wear this time of year! These are some pics of the wonderful beings who spend time at Grateful Dreads.
A faithful client, Patrick, brought his long-time friend Gabriella for a curly haircut. Her hair was almost all one length. She wanted something cute with fun style, so we got to work! A cut and some deep conditioning yeilded this absolutely beautiful, fun haircut!
You may recognize Sara from her wedding photos on this website. She’s now expecting a bouncey baby boy! Congratulations Sara!
Special thank you to the faithful friends of Grateful Dreads! Happy Spring!
Look at Emily’s beautiful red curly hair! She loves it so much and has wanted dreads for a long time. They really fit her personality and lifestyle. She’s got so much hair!! Emily’s dreads look amazing brand new and will continue to become more and more beatiful with time!
Thank you so much Emily!
Wow what a great week! I just can’t say enough about how much I love the challenges that come into this salon!! I am so thankful to have so many special talents as a hair stylist. These are some of the fun people I got to work with this week.
You can see this custom process in the next post!
The salon is getting busier, and I’m looking for an assistant. If anyone finds this type of hair interesting and would like to learn, please contact me!!
On another note… I’ve hired a professional graphic designer who is working on a few things including the signs for the salon!! I apologize that there is no sign yet!! It’s my (very realistic) goal to have an awning and two signs up by the end of Fetbruary. Thanks for being patient!!
