Coast Dread Company

Getting things tidy with this wahine is always a pleasure!

I'm so grateful for each and every one of my clients. This lovely lady comes all the way from Great Barrier Island and at first this beautiful partial was installed temporarily.. IYKYK 😉

Dreads can be addictive - but I was so inspired by the results of this partial that I kinda started to get some ideas myself. Stay tuned!

🧐 Chalk and cheese 🤩

I love my B&As because just like when I’m weeding the garden, it’s easy to get distracted by those last bits of pesky mess! It’s really easy to lose sight of how far you’ve come.

That’s why the side-by-side helps me so much. I can see the direct results of my mahi without the distortions of time and perfectionism ✨

It's always a pleasure having this young fella in, and I know as a mum how much pleasure it brings to his family when he's once again looking sharp. Dreads do require maintenance, but its a 3/6-monthly sit rather than the daily struggle. So they can be a great option for kids who want long hair but hate the hairbrush.

I'm currently taking bookings for June, please get in touch if you're looking for a fresh set, a tidy, or remediation of troublesome locs. I gotchu! 💚

Working through the maturation phase is so rewarding!

Many people don’t know about the maturation (or, “messy”!) phase of real dreadlocks. But, this bit is where true dreadies are made - inside and out!

For most people, this phase lasts about a year post-installation. But it does depend on your hair type and aftercare routine.

These beauties are settling in really nicely. 😍 They are beginning to form naturally at the bases, and while the loose hairs are still attempting to wriggle free they are also beginning to accept their new way of being.

It’s such a blessing to have wonderful, warm clients who get this! You simply can’t rush a good thing, and I wholeheartedly believe walking this path builds huge character.

It's been pretty quiet over here on the social media front - but rest assured, there's been a LOT happening behind the scenes! 🎥

To kick off a wee run of overdue B&A's, here's a kicker - a resection of one large, problematic dread into two much more comfortable, and much more manageable loc. Woohoo, bet that felt good! 😁

Resectioning is far from ideal, but, it is possible. Our technique is tried and tested, and designed to have you leaving the studio looking (and feeling!) a million bucks better than when you came in. ✨

Resectioning isn't too tricky, but it is best done when there is lots of regrowth to work with already.

If your dreads have become unruly and difficult, flick us a message and let's make a plan to refresh your vibe 😎
