About Us

dreadlock specialist ginnyWorking as a hair stylist over the last 20 years provided opportunities to travel and work in salons all over the world. Having experienced many cultures, I found my greatest sense of kinship came from the dreadlock community.

As a stylist I noticed clients left feeling happier about  their external appearance. But when I began working with dreadlock clients, I noticed there was a sense of contentment when they arrived, because they liked who they were internally. While they were all unique, they tended to value similar things such as open mindedness, independent thinking, mutual respect, appreciation, simplicity and community.



Having become drawn to the authenticity of dreadlock enthusiasts, I have spent the last 5 years focusing my work on dreadlocking. Having been inspired about how service focused many of them were, I have retrained to become a youth worker and now split my time between dreadlocking and working with young people.

 



"Live for yourself and you will live in vain; Live for others, and you will live again."
- Bob Marley

 



Unlike hair styles which can be changed every few weeks, dreads take time to fully mature. Many cultures associate growing dreadlocks with the patience and dedication it requires to take the journey of the mind, heart and spirit.

 

One of the greatest satisfactions of my work is being able to continually connect with clients and share where our adventures have taken us since we last met.

As Elizabeth Gilbert once mused, 'This is what intimacy does to us over time. It causes us to inherit and trade each others stories. This, in part, is how we become annexes of each other, trellises on which each others biography can grow.'

I look forward to sharing our stories and delighting in the dreadlock journey together.
