Tarra is amazing!! Communication was easy and Tarra was very accommodating when it came to my schedule. After a quick conversation, she got right to work! The area space was nice and comforting and her dog is the best. I am just beginning my loc journey and she did fantastic giving me information and tips. 100% would refer her to anyone. Hair was immediately locked and I am very satisfied with the results. Embracing the journey and cannot wait to see progress.

Tarra was very communicative and ready to Go when I got there. She didn’t prolong or take breaks. The area space was nice and comforting and her dog was really entertaining and cute. It is hard to find someone to do Caucasian loc extensions. Almost impossible. And a dam good Price. 100% would refer anyone. Hair was immediately locked and looks great.

Always a pleasure to get my maintenance done with Tarra. She provides a very comfortable atmosphere for her clients. So I went a different route! I decided to get WICK dreds instead of the normal instalocs. They turned out great!. Tarra took extra attention and care to make sure all my wicks were uniformed and neat. I know her hands were hurting but she made the 4 hour appointment fun . She's real easy to converse with. Also her location is in a beautiful quiet neighborhood. Highly recommend!

Owner's reply
Thank you, D.O.C., for the amazing feedback! We're so happy you're loving your wicks! Tarra truly puts her heart into every session.

I had a great experience. This was my first time trying the crochet method and I like it. It pulled in the loose hairs and it looks very neat and defined. She was also able to repair the ends on a few Locs. Tarra had a great comfortable space. She was on time, professional, and gentle with my hair. I am extremely picky about who I allow to touch my hair and I plan to return.

I absolutely love getting my locs crochet maintenanced. If you haven't booked before, and are on the fence, I strongly encourage you to go for it... And do so quickly! Appointment slots fill up fast, and once you've experienced getting your locs taken care of by any member of this team, you'll understand why. I have a very sensitive scalp, but have yet to have a sore head from getting my hair done. I am one very happy, repeat customer! If you read this far, thank you! And Dreadlock Central, thank you for the amazing loc maintenance! Y'all are the best!

5 stars. I got a dread overhaul from Nat out in the Baltimore area. Communication was clear and easy. The session was really chill in a chill environment. I am satisfied with my dread overhaul. Everything is perfectly tightened and cleaned up. They gave me some great advice on how to manage going forward. I will definitely be going back when the time comes.

Owner's reply
Hey Josh, I'm sorry you're so upset that we declined serving you. Natallia didn't feel comfortable after being around you and I always prioritize my team's safety and wellbeing above everything as I explained to you in our previous messages. Also, I don't see how this has any relevance to your claim that we're "leaching off the culture" when it's obvious that we serve all races and ethnicities and have a diverse team to provide our services to the dreadlock community as a whole. Regardless, I wish you the best of luck elsewhere.

*We've update our system to ensure ALL clients are responded to within a maximum of 7 days for all future request submissions* Hey Pamela, I understand your frustrations, however we have a disclaimer on our request page that we typically respond to service requests within one week of receiving them. I see that you submitted your request on November 29th, and today is December 4th, so that's still within one week. We're quite busy and sometimes it's difficult for us to keep up with requests. I'm sorry for the inconvenience, but if you need appointments on a short notice you'd be better off elsewhere.

First and foremost... dreadlock central is awesome. The company and their locticians make it so convenient to make this process smooth. Natalia recently paid me a visit to fix my locs that a " so called loctician" installed. She was prompt with her timing for our appointment. Also very very friendly, it can be a semi awkward situation having a stranger come into your home! Natalia was no stranger though. Besides our appt she put in so much extra effort answering my random texts with one question after another. IMO Dreadlock Central is the ONLY way to go for locs to be installed or maintained! THANK YOU NATALIA!!!! You F'n ROCK!!!!!!

Today Natallia installed partial dreads to my hair. Colby (the owner) tagged along. Both were great. They were on time, friendly, easy to be around, and explained everything that was going on! Neither minded that my dog hung out with us as well. I would recommend dreadlock central to anyone looking for knowledgeable stylist to achieve their desired look. Everything went great. Great service/results from great people! Thanks Natallia and Colby!

I just finished having a full install by Carlee, and i am beyond happy with the results. We had two 6 hour sessions over the weekend, and I felt like I was hanging out with a best friend because of her friendly personality. My dreadlocks turned out absolutely beautiful, and to the exact thickness I wanted. And the price was much lower than other places I inquired, but the end result quality and performance was top notch! Super happy with my experience and would recommend to any and everybody!

Dreadlock Central, specifically Carlee did ahhmazing work on my locks. I have been on this journey for 6 years and have never found anyone that could do a Caucasian/white persons hair properly. She nailed it ! She came to my house, on time... super professional .. and stayed with me until she finished my whole head. So easy to talk to and she really knows her stuff. We were so impressed! Now that I found her I told her “I’m keeping you! Don’t you leave town on me !! Lol !! I would highly recommend this company. I also believe communication is key, and she did just that, answered all my questions and concerns. I will definitely maintain my dreads more often now I have found her. A+A+A+ !! Rock star company !!

Started my dread journey in May 2019. I have what I like to call, Business on top and party at the bottom, dreads. I have 7 dreads in the under half of my hair. They were going through the loop and zig zag stage and I wanted them tamed down. Carlee did an AWESOME job at taming my baby dreads. They are now noticeable dreads and not little rats nest. Thank you Carlee!

Great service and the technique really holds for a longer than expected. I have straight hair and this technique works even now after several washes. It looks the way I expected it to when I began this journey! Nothing better than in-house service.

Owner's reply
Hey man!! We're glad to hear you enjoyed the service and especially happy to hear that you like our technique and are able to see the quality of it over time!! 👍

Carlee is friendly, and professional, my first appt ended up being a lot more than either one of us expected. She did everything that she could get my hair presentable and squeezed me in for a follow up appt within 2 weeks. I am extremely happy with my Locs and will continue to trust Carlee with my hair.

Owner's reply
Hey Brittany! Thanks for placing your trust in Carlee. We're glad you had a great experience!

Baltimore Booking Policy

* Our Company Wide Terms of Booking

💵 Down Payment

– A non-refundable down payment is required for every single appointment. No exceptions.

– Most down payments start at $50 but may range much higher depending on the amount of time we have to reserve for your appointment.

– This amount contributes toward your total bill and is not an extra expense.

– Appointments are NOT confirmed until down payment is received.

– Down payments are required a minimum of 3 days before your appointment.

We do not book “same day appointments” – therefore appointments must be set in advance. If you contact us with the expectation of a same day or last minute booking we will likely decline your request and book you for a later date.

– If you are more than 20 minutes late, your appointment may need to be rescheduled out of respect for the next client and the person who booked you.

– In some cases we can accommodate late appointments, but it should not be expected.

– In the event of a reschedule you will forfeit the down payment for that appointment, and a new down payment will be required to book your next appointment.

If you miss your appointment twice, or are excessively late twice, we reserve the right to increase your down payment requirements or outright refuse booking future appointments with you.

This is a personalized service and we’re more than happy to develop friendly relationships with our clients, but this is also our livelihood and a professional business. Therefore we expect you to respect our policies just as you would with any professional service.

For those who repeatedly cause issues—whether it’s late arrivals, no-shows, last-minute cancellations, inappropriate behavior, or general disrespect—we reserve the right to refuse future service. Respect goes both ways.
