Dreadlock Salon UK Directory
Picking a stylist/salon can be somewhat overwhelming. Before you choose a dreadlock salon, you NEED to know why and what to look for so you don't get stung by a cowboy stylist. "yes, they're out there!"
If you want to skip the 3 things to ask guide on contacting a stylist/salon, just scroll to the bottom for the full dreadlock salon UK directory. Also see our guide for starting dreadlocks from home if you're on a super tight budget.
1 - To wax or not to wax
There are many salons out there that use wax to make dreadlocks. Wax is the worst thing you can do to dreadlocks and it near impossible to recover from. AVOID any salon that suggests using wax.
2 - Price Check - Mobile VS Shop Salon
If price is an issue and you are on a budget, you might want to consider a mobile salon that will visit you. This will be cheaper as the stylist doesn't have the overheads of a shop. Some people prefer a shop salon for the experience of a day out and environment of a professional salon and don't mind paying that little extra to be pampered.
3 - Are you 100% happy to move forward?
If you aren't fully confident, call a few dreadlock salons and get a second opinion. Wait until you have full confidence before moving forward. Its your dreadlocks that are being born and you want the best for your babies!
