What It Takes to Succeed and What We Expect from You!

Joining our team means stepping into a role that requires dedication, attention to detail, and a commitment to excellence. Here are the key responsibilities and expectations we have for every team member:

• • • Professionalism & Conduct
      Represent our brand with integrity, professionalism, and consistency. Your conduct, both in-person and online, reflects on the reputation of Dreadlock Central. Don’t get us wrong, we love artistic flare, but it must be tasteful and professional.
    • Communication
      Whether you’re communicating with our internal team, or communication with our clients – communication is key. This is by far one of the most important aspects of being a part of our team. A lack of communication or lazy miscommunication is not acceptable, and that’s the most common cause for problems with clients. You must be able to communicate very clearly via text, phone, or in person.
    • Client Service
      Deliver professional dreadlock services that meet the standards of the Dreadlock Central brand. You can never please everyone, but you should strive for each and every client to leave with a sense of satisfaction and confidence in the work you’ve provided. (don’t worry, we’ll get you trained for this)
    • Quoting Clients
      It is your responsibility to quote clients. This is one of the most difficult parts of the job, however we have an automated AI quoting system that does 95% of the work for you and we also guide you through all quotes in the early stages, to slowly transition you into being fully autonomous with your quoting process. But if you ever need help, we’re here to help you with difficult quotes!
    • Intake & Booking Management
      Efficiently handle client intake, quotes, and bookings using our streamlined tools. You’ll be responsible for keeping the backend organized, for scheduling and tracking your appointments within our system.
    • Tracking Completed Appointments
      We have a system to track each appointment to automate commissions for each month and taxes for each calendar year. It will be your responsibility to input data for each appointment. Don’t worry, we make this extremely simple.
    • Ongoing Improvement
      Continuously refine your technique, gain knowledge and experience, while simultaneously increasing your speed and enhancing the quality of your work. As you improve, you’ll serve clients more efficiently and earn a higher hourly rate purely from your increase in speed, experience, and efficiency.
    • Team Engagement
      Actively engage with fellow team members via our Database tagging system, Slack discussions, In-Person Training Sessions, and annual meetups. This collaborative environment ensures you have support and resources to grow both personally and professionally.

How It All Works: The Onboarding Process

Phase 1: Confirm We’re a Good Fit & Agreements

We make sure we’re aligned before anything else.

• • • We’ll already have had a conversation (usually with Colby)
    • You read this page and the contract fully
    • Agreements may vary depending on individual circumstances
    • Colby approves (or declines) moving forward
    • If you haven’t had a conversation with Colby directly, doing so would be the next step

Phase 2: Pre-Training Courses (3–6 weeks)

You build the baseline skills first, online.

• • • You purchase the required courses and supplies
    • Cost: ~$850 courses + ~$150 supplies = ~$1,000
    • Self-paced (most people take 3–6 weeks)

Phase 3: Videochat Skill Assessment

We review your work after completing the courses.

• • • We’re checking skill baseline and commitment to the courses
    • You don’t need to be perfect, we refine in person
    • Don’t overthink it. This is a checkpoint, not a final exam.

Phase 4: In-Person Training

This is where your skills get sharpened and you enter our system.

• • • We agree on a start date
    • Contract is signed and in-person fee is paid at the start of Day 1 (strict requirement)
    • This phase of training is typically $1,500 (can vary depending on individual cases)
    • You get hands-on training and digital onboarding into our backend on day one!
    • We usually spend a few days developing your technique in person

Training with Clients:

• • • After contract is signed, payment is complete, and the first few in person sessions are satisfactory, you’ll join us to start serving clients by our side!
    • You’re paired with an experienced team member (Colby or another lead)
    • We aim for a mix of hair types and services so you’re not learning in a bubble
    • At first you’ll basically be an observer, by the end of your training you’ll be doing 95% of the work for your last training appointment.
    • We ease you in, no stress, it’s relaxed and comfortable!
    • We aim to book about $3,000 in appointments during training
    • You earn 50% of each appointment you’re involved in
    • Goal: you recoup your fee during the training window

Phase 5: Autonomy + Ongoing Support

After training, you start operating on your own, with support when needed.

• • • You begin quoting, booking, and serving clients within our system
    • Ongoing help may include:
      • Coaching for uncommon/advanced work
      • Help writing quotes from client intake forms
      • Q&A support as things come up
      • Periodic check-ins and meetups

Your Earning Potential

Joining the Dreadlock Central team offers not only the opportunity to earn a competitive income but also the ability to grow your earnings over time naturally as you improve your skills and efficiency. Here’s how your earning potential works and what you can expect as you develop your expertise.

• • • Independent Contractor Structure
      As an independent contractor, you keep all tips, all travel fees, and 81% of the core price for each service you perform, with 19% of each appointment’s core price to be paid to Dreadlock Central as a commission.
      • No Hidden Fees: The commission covers your access to our systems, AI automations, marketing, and client intake, meaning you won’t incur any additional costs.
      • Additional Income: You’ll also charge clients a travel fee (when and if traveling) and keep all tips, both of which are exempt from commissions paid to Dreadlock Central.

• • • Earn an Honest Living While Giving Yourself a Raise
      As your speed and efficiency improve, your hourly rate increases. This allows you to grow your earning potential and basically give yourself a raise as you improve.
      • For example:
        • In your initial months, you may earn $20-30/hour, which requires more time to meet your income goals.
        • By the first year or beyond, you could be earning a high hourly rate of $70/hour, or even higher, working fewer hours to achieve the same income, or earning even more by taking on additional appointments!

Estimated Earning Growth Over Time

Here’s an example of how your hourly rate and workload might progress as you gain experience:

A Rewarding Investment in Yourself

While serving and growing your client base and skillset requires significant time and effort upfront, the payoff is substantial. With dedication and consistent practice, you’ll:

• • • Increase Your Earnings: Achieve a higher hourly rate as you gain speed and expertise.
    • Save Time: Work fewer hours to meet your financial goals, giving you more time to take on additional clients or enjoy life outside of work.
    • Enjoy Financial Freedom: The combination of competitive rates, flexibility, and the ability to grow your income gives you control over your career and lifestyle.

Joining Dreadlock Central is more than just a job, it’s a pathway to building a career in an industry you’re passionate about, with the reward of meeting many different types of interesting people!

Ok, but how much money will I actually make doing this?

Income ebbs and flows. It depends on the season, your area, how visible you are on our website, your availability, and how fast you work.

• • • Most people land around $2,000–$3,000/month once they get into the swing of things
    • The longer you stay, the more repeat clients you build, the faster you get, and the more predictable it becomes
    • You’re considered an independent contractor, so you must be prepared to handle your own taxes (we provide records to make your accounting easy, but it’s still your responsibility to do the final reporting)

If you need a perfectly consistent paycheck every month, this isn’t it. If you want a flexible side gig that gets steadier over time, it’s a solid opportunity.

Your Mentors: Who Will Train You

You won’t be guessing your way through this. You’ll learn directly from experienced locticians who already deliver the level of quality Dreadlock Central is known for.

• • • Colby (Founder) leads the training and sets the standard — with years of real-world experience in dreadlock work and building the business behind it. You’ll get hands-on coaching in the crochet method and what “high quality” actually looks like in practice.
    • Other team members (like Jordan or Nash) may also mentor you depending on location and scheduling. They’ll help you refine technique, build confidence, and get real reps during your apprenticeship.

It’s Not All Sunshine and Rainbows

This work can be awesome, but it’s not “easy money,” and it’s not a perfect fairy-tale client experience every time. If you’re joining, you should know the potential downsides of what you’re signing up for.

• • • It’s hard work
      This requires real effort, focus, and follow-through. If you want something casual with low responsibility, this can feel heavy at times.
    • Income isn’t perfectly consistent
      This isn’t a guaranteed weekly paycheck. Demand can rise and fall based on season, your area, your availability, and how booked you are through the website. Over time it usually gets steadier as you build repeat clients, but there will still be slower stretches.
    • Client communication can be intense
      Some clients are a dream. Others are emotionally needy, indecisive, or exhausting. Some barely talk at all. It’s a mixed bag, and sometimes people can be straight-up difficult, or try to hit on you…
    • You’re working with strangers
      You may go into someone’s home or invite someone into yours. It’s real. We’ve rarely had any serious issues, but under 1% of clients have caused enough problems that we’ve ended the relationship. This is just a reality of working with people.
    • Payment can get weird sometimes
      Most people pay normally, but there’s always a chance someone tries to delay, dispute, or skip out. It’s exceptionally rare, but still a possibility.
    • Your body can complain
      Repetitive work can lead to things like carpal tunnel or golfer’s elbow. Usually minor, and avoidable with the right care, but if you push too hard like a workaholic, you can turn “minor” into “constant.”
    • Rare, but possible: bad reviews or refund demands
      It doesn’t happen often, but it can happen. Sometimes you do everything absolutely perfectly and the client still isn’t happy, and you’ll need thick skin and professionalism.
