“I’m glad I found your method because I went to another salon that didn’t know how to work with my hair texture and I’ll never go back to them because I paid a lot of money and my dreadlocks unraveled the next day.”
“I’ve been searching everywhere for someone who offers the Instant Locs Crochet Method. You’re the only company I felt comfortable with and that’s why I was willing to drive several hours to get an appointment.”
“I’ve had consultations with 5 salons and they all claim to do the crochet method, but they just use a latch hook. I’ve been looking everywhere for someone who understands the method you offer.”
“I had my extensions latch hooked from another salon but half of them started slipping out. When you reattached my extensions they looked so much better and feel ten times stronger!”
Many of our clients are thrilled to find our method after paying a lot of money at other salons only to leave disappointed, frustrated, or even infuriated.

(course feedback)
“I am so excited to be taking your courses! …I just happened to come across the online courses you are offering. I am moving to Puerto Rico January 1st 2023 and was having a real problem finding someone to do my maintenance down there and I believe these courses will at minimum give me the information to find someone down there that can do the maintenance properly, if not do them myself…I also believe that I should be able to start doing some work in the Rincon area which is very close to where i will be living, so that is a nice thing to be exploring. I ordered everything on amazon and will have what I need to start the course this week. THANK YOU for taking the time to record and set up these courses.”

Most new dreadlock installations with the Instant Locs Crochet Method practically bypass the first year of struggle with new dreadlocks. No waiting for your hair to “lock up”. It’s already done!
The Instant Locs Crochet Method uses zero string, zero waxes, zero products, and holds permanently from day one. It’s a “No Nonsense” method that achieves instant results.
We actually encourage swimming in the ocean and washing dreadlocks weekly with the Instant Locs Crochet Method. This is a big deal for some people, and a big selling point for choosing this method over other methods.
Almost all of our clients who have previously experienced the twisting and interlocking methods tell us that the method we use is far less painful. Most clients who rate the pain level of interlocking and twisting around a 6-8 rate our method a 3-4.

Hi, my name is Colby. Nice to meet you! As a skilled loctician with over a decade of experience, I’ve worked with every hair texture you can imagine and have fixed countless problems that other salons wouldn’t touch. It all started when I got my first set of dreadlocks at the age of 21 – they were a mess and I had to start over multiple times to find what really worked. With this experience, I realized there was a need for new found dreadlock skills, and as I started offering them, my business began to snowball. I started with a single Craigslist Ad and eventually built a team of seven dreadlock specialists serving major cities along the east coast. Within our courses you’ll learn everything my team knows. In fact, our courses are the basis for onboarding new team members! With just a simple crochet hook and the skills to use it, we’ve created exceptional results for our clients without the need for fancy tools or unique products. With some patience and persistence you too can become skilled in this technique with the training of our courses!
With over a decade of experience working with all hair textures, ethnicities, and a wide range of dreadlock problems, we’ve seen repeated results that prove our methods work time and time again. We’ve seen and worked with every type of dreadlock issue imaginable, and through it all, we’ve been able to develop and perfect a system that guarantees success. We teach from the expertise to tackle any dreadlock challenge, and we’ve fine-tuned our methods to work on even the most stubborn hair types. With our courses, you’ll learn how to implement our tried and true techniques to provide top-quality service and achieve exceptional results for your clients.

“But I already know how to do dreadlocks, why should I try something new..??”
Well, we hear so many stories from our clients telling us that their previous stylists claimed they knew what they were doing, only to find out our method was far superior and the previous salon really didn’t have the right skills.
“What if I buy these courses and they don’t work?”
The only way these courses won’t work for you is if you don’t use them. If you genuinely learn and apply the skills we teach, they will absolutely improve and expand your dreadlock skillset.
“I work with Afro Hair, why should I trust this white boy?”
Maybe you should consider this instead: “If this white boy can make instant dreadlocks in completely straight hair without any product, maybe he knows something I don’t..”.
“I can just learn this from YouTube instead…”
Many YouTubers are just jumping on trends… They have VERY limited experience typically with only one hair texture, their own. On the other hand, I have over a decade of experience using and teaching this method to serve our extremely diverse clients as a successful business owner and have focused all of my skills into this linear course designed to take you from beginner to pro! Instead of learning the long and hard way through trial and error, I help you bypass all of the potential failures with our segmented and linear training program.
