Midland's Dreadshop

A little bit feral, a little bit healing, a whole lot of feeling.

I came to adorn sacred ceanns, share my handcrafted locs & loc jewellery, and do what makes my soul feel alive. ❤️‍🔥

But I left with so much more than I came with.

I went inward, alot got stirred, some feelings came up, and some things asked to be felt rather than figured out. The beautiful, messy, uncomfortable magic of being a human.

But my biggest highlight? The people. The beautiful, curious, open-minded souls I crossed paths with. The conversations that light something up inside you, the laughter, the shared perspectives, the feeling of meeting someone and thinking, 'ahh, there's my kind of humans'. 🤍

I'm endlessly fascinated by the minds we carry, the stories we tell, the things we're unlearning, and the connections that remind us we're not quite as alone in this mad little world as we sometimes feel.

My wild little fire inside is grateful to have been there & gosh am I beaming deeply within.

Here's to staying curious, keeping our hearts open, doing the inner work, and finding our people along the way. ✨

Go raibh míle maith agat to my frocliking fairy for transporting us safely to & fro.

& To for allowing me to take space in your cultivated sacred safe space. 🪻 The gratitude is deep in my belly, I'm giving thanks for the whimsy & your stunning wonder. 🙏🏻

When you go to a small intimate festival to restore & adorn sacred locs.

I need to keep pinching myself to see if all of this whimsy & wonder is real. 🧚🏻‍♀️🪻

Meticulous much.

Fine lines and loc care.

Thank you for the trust 🙏🏻

This one was so satisfying to work on. 🫶🏻

These locs came in tangled and needed some love. After taking the time to separate & clean up we finished the look with fiery red and green loc extensions to give them a bold new vibe, And that is exactly what John brings!! 🔥

I love transformations like this because they show what patience, care, and the right technique can do. It's not just about making locs look good, it's about bringing them back to life while adding a touch of your own personality.

Thank you John for your forever trust & patience 👑🤍

There are places that call your soul home before your feet even touch the earth.

I arrive with my hands ready to create, my heart ready to serve, and I leave remembering that my work has never only been about dreadlocks.

It's about ceremony in the simplest form.

Every crown I adorn is an offering. Every woman who sits with me is a mirror. Every braid, every lock, every shared silence becomes a prayer woven with intention.

This gathering is one of the few places where I feel I don't have to separate who I am. I can work. I can play. I can rest. I can laugh until I cry. I can dance barefoot on sacred land. I can be held by the Earth and by a circle of women who remind me what it means to live from the heart (do croì). 🤍

There is an ancient wisdom that lives in this land. You can feel it in the wind, in the trees, in the songs and in the women who gather here. It asks nothing of us except that we arrive as we are. 🌿

To every queen who trusted me with her crown, thank you. Thank you for your stories, your vulnerability, your wildness, your tenderness. Thank you for allowing me to witness you. You gave me just as much as I gave you.

I left with tired hands, a full heart, dust on my feet, and a soul that feels deeply nourished.

This is why I do what I do.

Not just to create beautiful hair, but to honour the sacredness of every woman who remembers she has always worn a crown 👑

The Glow-Up is Real ✨

From messy to magnificent. 🦋

Just a reminder that consistent maintenance is the secret sauce to healthy, beautiful locs. The transformation speaks for itself!

Thank you for your trust 🙏🏻
