Absolutely thrilled with Dreadlock Central’s work. I needed someone non judgemental willing to both “fix” and work with my hair. Dreadlocks Central was absolutely perfect. They not only spent the time to meticulously fix and redo my dreadlocks, but answered all my questions and made me confortable throughout. I highly recommend them for anyone looking for the best!

I wish we took some before pictures because I was a fuzzy mess. Colby did my first professional maintenance earlier this week, and I could not be more pleased. He is professional and personable. He pulled in my long overgrown roots, separated the dreads that were becoming stuck together, blunted the ends that were coming undone, and trimmed all my frizzies. I had started my own dreads, and he started to shift some hairs around to correct my crooked sections. He kept checking in how my scalp was doing because it can really hurt some people. I did not think it hurt at all. Immediately after my appointment I went to pick up my daughter from daycare, and someone already was asking where I got my hair done. I plan to schedule again with Colby, and will recommend him to everyone.

I wanted to like this place but they just take to long to get back with you I put in a request for a quote took 7 days to finally get a text from a lady named Nash I received the text on a Monday I responded in the hour and again on Wednesday I didn’t receive a text back until Friday and when i finally got a response I’m expected to measure length and diameter of my locs so she could “make or order my extensions” lets be realistic for a moment there’s no way to actually measure specific locs accurately by myself and know how long there supposed to be. So I have to know how long my broken locs were, know how many inches I wanted to add to each loc and how thick each loc was that’s flat out ridiculous

Reached out using the process required. Sent a series of photos that frankly made me wonder why an in person consultation - like other salons - wasn't offered. Waited six weeks. Haven't heard back. Would recommend a video consultation process at a minimum, but since I haven't been contacted, I assume the company isn't seeking my business.

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.

Can’t get a live person on the phone

Owner's reply
We’re sorry for the frustration. The nature of our work requires photos and specific context to provide accurate quotes, so we collect that information through our intake form before any phone calls. Our website is also designed to answer most common questions upfront. If we offered phone calls to the general public before intake, our phones would be ringing nonstop and we wouldn’t be able to serve clients well. Our intake process helps us filter out those who aren't very serious and therefore prioritize serious inquiries, and once the form is completed, we’re happy to consider a call if needed!

Colby at Dreadloc Central is on another level. From start to finish, his attentiveness and professionalism really stand out—he takes the time to listen, explain, and make sure everything is done right, not rushed. What truly sets him apart is his method; it’s very different from what you’ll get at a typical local loc shop. His approach is intentional, precise, and clearly focused on the long-term health and structure of your locs, not just how they look that day. You can tell he genuinely cares about his craft and his clients. Highly recommend Colby if you want expert-level work and a more thoughtful, personalized experience. Bless up!! Corey

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.

I booked a loc repair and maintenance appointment with Colby (the owner of Dreadlock Central). The initial communication was professional, and he quoted $320–$550 for 4–7 hours of work. However, during the appointment, Colby repeatedly complained about being tired, his hands hurting, and that we had gone over 7 hours. I was charged the full $550 — which was already the maximum quoted price — and afterward, he mentioned that he would charge extra in the future if a session went overtime. I’ve never heard of or been charged extra because a stylist took longer than expected to complete their own service. That was never mentioned in his original message or quote. It came across as unprofessional, especially for the owner of the company. The quality of work was okay, but the overall experience and attitude were disappointing. I won’t be booking again and just wanted to share my honest experience so others are aware before booking.

Owner's reply
1. This was my first time meeting with you so I haven't worked with your hair before. I can make educated guess to what is entailed for your appointment, but cannot give exact estimates especially with this being your first appointment. You even said yourself that I went slightly over 7 hours and I still charged you within the range that I quoted you for. I don't understand how that's "unprofessional". Dreadlock Repair is unique to each person and these things sometimes take a considerable amount of time. 2. Stating that I was "Complaining about hands hurting" makes it sound like I was complaining about doing the work, which was not my intention, it was just part of our conversation and part of the process. And when you do this type of work every single day and have many clients to serve you have to protect your hands for the sake of longevity. It was nothing more than a statement within the context of our appointment together. 3. In your original quote I stated that your follow up appointments would be $150, and in your most recent text you asked about price again, and I said "root maintenance is almost always within 1-2 hours which is $150." So at no point did I ever charge you anymore than what I originally quoted you for, which you already agreed to by booking with me. Never once did I charge you more... 4. You referred to the possibility of going over the time and price estimate stating "That was never mentioned in his original message or quote." This is simply inaccurate. As a business wide standard we always send this disclaimer out with every single quote: "*It can be difficult to estimate time and price for first-time clients. Estimates may vary.*" This is in your original quote which I've sent you a screenshot highlighting this disclaimer. And once again, I still only charged you what I originally quoted you for. 5. I was right on time, but you were about 30 minutes late to your appointment and I didn't make a fuss about it at all. This is also why we ended up going slightly beyond 7 hours in the first place. 6. And finally, if you request more work beyond root maintenance I'm going to charge a higher price. It's that simple, any business would do that. And that's all I was expressing when saying the price may be higher if I'm taking more time to do more work. 7. I’m honestly not sure how you've taken a single part of your experience as being unprofessional. I delivered the service fully within the terms of the original quote which you agreed to, I didn't charge you extra even though we went over time because you were late, and I communicated everything very clearly along every step of the way. Our pricing is very transparent on our website, in our quotes, and everything is stated upfront before you agree to work with us. I do appreciate your feedback, but I’m genuinely surprised that you feel like any part of your experience was negative at all, but especially enough to leave a 1-star review.

Thank goodness for Colby and Dreadlock Central! I moved back into the Central PA area in late 2019 from out West, but there were limited options for someone who used the crochet method and knew how to work with Caucasian loc’d hair. After multiple appointments with different “locticians” in the area who claimed they knew how to worked on my hair, I finally found Dreadlock Central!!!! Initially, about 4 years ago, a person who worked for Dreadlock Central worked on my hair in the York area and I had a really negative experience. Colby, the owner, contacted me after my feedback and wanted to correct the experience I’d had previously. I decided to give Colby and his company a second chance and I am SO happy I did! Almost 3 years later…I refuse to let anyone else touch my locs. Colby is always on time, professional, friendly, and does a fantastic job with my 7 year old mature locs! My hair goes well past my waist and Colby completes a full root maintenance in about 2/2.5 hours, yep - all 54 of them! Prices are reasonable and my appointments consistent! Give Colby and Dreadlock Central a try - you won’t regret it!

Owner's reply
Thank you so much, Kelly! I really appreciate you giving us a second chance and sticking with us over the years. I’m glad I could help turn things around and earn your trust. It means a lot that you’ve stayed loyal, and it’s always a pleasure working with you! - Colby

My experience was awesome! I was able to have my hair Loc’d in the comfort of my home. The process didn’t hurt nor did my head afterwards. Colby was able to address my concerns and requests. I got instant locs which stopped the shedding of my ends which had been a problem. He even gave me a pattern to my scalp that surprised me at the end which I was elated. It looks like a shining start or sun. When I say my locs are 🔥, they are! If you love your hair and dreadlocks you need to book this company.

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!

Thanks for your feedback. Unfortunately we need an extensive application process to consider all aspects of your hair and your situation. In doing so, it allows us to provide you with the most accurate quote that we can. The more details we have, the better we can assess your situation. We also have an endless flow of submissions and new requests, so our detailed application process also helps us reduce the amount of people who aren't all that serious to begin with. I understand it's frustrating answering so many questions, and I wish we could make it easier, but it really helps us provide much more tailored quotes and services to each individual. - Colby

I had the most amazing experience with dreadlockCentral and my stylist, Nash is the best! From the start, Communication, scheduling, answering questions, giving advice, and installation was fantastic! Had a great time with Nash, I felt comfortable the entire time. This is something that I have wanted to do since my teenage years and I’m unbelievably grateful for this company and Nash for making my hair exactly how I imagined it to be! I had a few challenges with my scalp and hair after having multiple surgeries with a brain tumor and Nash was perfect! She made me feel so comfortable and had no issues working with my hair!

I was somewhat hesitant about going to a stranger home salon. However, once I overcame the novelty of the place, the experience was truly amazing. Jordan is awesome, hands down. She’s very friendly, conversational and skilled at crocheting my locs. To be honest I didn’t feel much pain doing the process. I have no hesitation recommending Jordan as a very skilled hair artist and good place to get your locs done.

Thank you, Frank! We're glad you trusted Jordan and had an amazing experience. Your feedback means a lot, and we're happy your locs turned out great!

I worked with Cole to shape up and repair 13 years of freeform. I was on the verge of maybe just shaving my head, but Cole is a wizard. After a solid 5 hours of crochet, exchanging feedback, and great conversation, my locs are stronger and more in shape than I ever expected! I am happy and eager to recommend Cole and Dreadlock Central to anyone who is considering giving up! At least have a talk and see what they can do, you may be surprised!

Update: It's March '25. I'm a repeat customer, and will continue to be one! Why? Because my locs are flourishing thanks to Colby and his method of crochet maintenance. Hair type: kinky Loc size: small I'm very particular about my hair. I'm tender headed. I'm always pressed for time. I appreciate Colby's straightforward communication, punctuality, and skill because life has definitely been life-ing. IYKYK! If you're on the fence, go ahead and book with Dreadlock Central. You will not regret it and your locs will thank you! With love, I'm telling you, your crown definitely deserves the care. *My review will continue to remain unsponsored and honest! Quality doesn't need a discount!* Update: It's August, and this is my 4th maintenance. I stand by my previous statement. See my review below. It's definitely worth the read and the services are definitely worth your time! This is my third time getting my locs maintained by Colby. As always, an amazing experience! I'm extremely tender headed, and even with changes postpartum, Colby provided gentle maintenance. My scalp is not sore. My head does not hurt. My hair is cared for and my confidence is sky high! If you're on the fence, this is me telling you to book your appointment! It's totally worth your time, the price is great, and you won't regret it! My review is in no way sponsored. I'm just a very happy customer who wants you to be happy on your loc journey too.

Jordan with dreadlock central is BY FAR the best person to ever crochet my hair. I've traveled far and wide for no product, dreadlock crochet people and they're hard to find. Salons all use product to make it stay. Everytime I've ever had my hair done, my fine hair wisps come out pretty quickly and hers did not! My wisps are still neatly tucked into the dreads which is really hard to do! She's amazing and an awesome soul as well 💖

i first heard of and started utilizing dreadlock central to maintain my locs during the pandemic in 2020. my first loctician, carlee, was incredible. she was mobile, and would come over to do my locs. she was very personable and her technical skills were on point. i stopped using dreadlock central for some time when i moved to cali in 2022, but resumed when i moved back recently. my new loctician tarra is great also. i met with her for the first time a week ago in towson. she did my retwist and reattached 2 locs that came out. although she isn't mobile like i would want ideally, she did a great job with my hair. i would definitely recommend dreadlock central to anyone with locs. they are knowledgeable and skilled.

Frederick, MD Location: New Client: root/overall maintenance Everything I'm going to say about my visit is positive. Not one negative. The communication beforehand was clear and easy to follow, work area was professional and I didn't feel as though I was intruding. There was a chance of bad weather on my appointment day and rescheduling wouldn't have been an issue. That was a relief. I had a lot of long loose hair and roots that were in need of maintenance and I feel she went above and beyond. I asked questions about extensions and she sat with me looking at pictures, showing me how to order them, what size, color, etc. It's little things like that I appreciate because I was really struggling with deciding. My head is now looking fabulous and I'm looking forward to adding DreadlockCentral to my journey!

Jordan is absolutely incredible! When I first started looking for someone skilled in the crochet method, I felt a bit discouraged since there weren’t many options in my area. I wasn’t sure what to expect with my 4C hair texture and was particularly concerned about how clean my parts would be. But from the moment I met Jordan, all my doubts disappeared. She is down-to-earth, thoughtful, professional, and truly talented. My hair looks noticeably healthier, and I feel much more confident in maintaining its length. I highly recommend working with her—you’ll be so happy with your results!

I’ve had my dreads for almost 14 years. They were in desperate need of some TLC. I am a senior manager in a Fortune 500 company, and having dreads is definitely not typical. My messy, ugly dreads affected my confidence and influenced how others perceived me. I was embarrassed by how I looked, and it greatly impacted how I felt about myself. Jordan, Colby, and Tara worked together to bring my dreads back to life. They were kind, considerate, and made me feel welcome. I was ashamed of how I’d let my hair go. They were so professional and understanding, and made sure I was comfortable and at ease. My hair looks and feels absolutely amazing. I literally can’t express how much it meant to me for them to take a complete disaster and make it beautiful again and for treating me with respect and kindness. They made it fun and relaxing. I am a lifelong customer. I can’t recommend them enough!

This review is well over due as years ago Colby had initiated and continues to maintain my locs; he has done the same for my husband and child. His work ethic knowledge and execution is top of the line regarding the crotchet (instant) loc method. He is highly professional, friendly, transparent and accommodating to his clients, which he esteems. If you are seeking to maintain or start your locs via crotchet method, then Dreadlock Central is definitely the go to business.

Thanks to Cole, I finally have the hair I've dreamt of for so many years. Having thin fine hair I was very reluctant to trust someone to install locs on me. After some typical Google searching I found Dreadlock Central deciding to give them a go after much thought. I usually don't like having people in my space that I don't know but immediately upon meeting her I felt like I was welcoming a friend. Time flew as did her fingers, we talked about everything and nothing for hours as my locs were installed. I knew because of my hair length at the time of install that the locs would be short and wacky. Cole twisted them neatly into a woven pattern that was great until they calmed down. A couple months passed and she returned to perform maintenance. I really couldn't be happier with the result! As she said, my hair would grow faster than I would expect. I really can't say enough great things about Cole and the entire experience. I felt the entire process was so thorough and I really received excellent treatment. Thanks Cole, see you soon!

I recently had the pleasure of getting my locs done by Colby, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From the start, Colby was engaging and friendly, making our time together enjoyable and far from boring. He’s not only a great conversationalist, but he’s also incredibly knowledgeable about hair care and styling. During my sessions, it was clear that he has a deep understanding of the locing process, especially considering I have straight hair, which can be challenging to loc. Colby's technique is quick and precise. In my first session, he started my locs, and in the second session, we focused on dreadlock maintenance. The results have exceeded my expectations. I will definitely continue to go to Colby for all my loc needs. If you’re looking for someone who truly knows their craft, I highly recommend him.

Hey all! I just recently got my hair locked up on September 18th 2024 by Jordan, and I couldn’t be happier with the entire process! She was so welcoming and so easy to talk to. Made the entire experience the best experience I’ve ever had sitting in a chair to get my hair done. If I was to get my hair locked up again I would do it all over 100x. It’s the best decision I’ve ever made. If you’re in the dmv area and located near Fredrick I encourage you to get your hair locked up with love through Jordan. I promise you’ll have the best experience you could ever ask for. 10/10!! Thank you again Jordan

I started my loc journey with Cole in January. It's been amazing. I love my locs and I love the service provided by Dreadlock Central. I started with two strand twists from an African braiding salon back in September, but they weren't locking properly. Then i discovered the crochet method and Dreadlock Central. Cole is great, gets along with my furbaby 🐕 and knows when she arrives, we'll be watching 👀 a Disney movie 🎬 while she does my hair!!! Pics are a before and after from my very 1st session. The other pic is a simple barrel roll that Cole did at my last appointment.

Exceeded My Expectations – Love My New Locs! I cannot express how grateful I am to Cole for her outstanding work on my loc installation! After a frustrating initial attempt to loc my hair that left me feeling defeated, I reached out to her in a sort of desperation. From the very first interaction, Cole made the entire process feel easy and reassuring. Her intake process was seamless, and she communicated every step of the way, making sure I was comfortable and informed. I was amazed at how quickly she was able to fit me into her schedule. Just a few days after our initial conversation, I walked away fully locked and absolutely thrilled with the results! The care and skill Cole put into my locs exceeded my expectations! Not only do they look great, but she also took the time to educate me about upkeep and care, which I truly appreciated, as I've received some poor advice in the past. If you're considering getting locs or need help with your locs, I can't recommend Cole highly enough. Thank you, Cole, for restoring my confidence in my loc journey!

Thank you Aly for performing a miracle on my locs. Since Aly did my Locs they look healthier and thicker. I have been getting compliments on my locs left and right since Aly serviced them. I’m so glad my sister recommended her. She is super professional and really cares about the health of your locs. Days after the loc services was provided , she did a follow call to find out how my locs are doing and she also sent me a list of loc products to keep my locs looking healthy and vibrant. I definitely found a permanent Loctitan that will be doing my hair from this point on. Thanks a million Aly

You have to chase these folks down to get an appointment. They dont make it easy at all!!! They leave you hanging in limbo after they initially reach out. The owner Colby seems to as if he cant allocate his work load in a manner where he can efficiently communicate to customers. After you reach out multiple times they wont recognize you until youre mad about it. Getting you hair done shouldn't be such a hassle to do. Book the appointment, get the hair done, simple!

This is a repeat review from Jamal Mickle from earlier today, we are flagging this to Google. As you continue to spam our listings with 1-star reviews I see that I obviously made the right decision to decline you... As I look over the timestamps it shows that you submitted your request Sunday September 15th at 12:24am, and I responded with your quote at 1:21pm that same Sunday. I quoted you within 13 hours of your submission. You followed up with a single question at 1:35pm which responded to 1 minute later. Then you sent another message at 3:55pm which I didn't respond to on that Sunday afternoon. Unfortunately the following day (Monday) I had a very busy day and didn't have time to respond to your 4 additional text messages, not to mention the 20 other people I had to get back to, emails, quotes, etc... We all live busy lives and apparently you didn't have a shred of patience to wait for me to get back to you. Including your final text at 2am that night, and then messaging Cierra as well. Now here we are on Tuesday. It's not that I expect you to "know my personal life" the real problem was after you got impatient you were texting me with a pushy, berating, and impatient tone. And, the things you were saying to Cierra were also clearly rude, disrespectful, and berating. In your review you say that "I got sensitive" but in reality I'm not going to tolerate anyone disrespecting me or my team in that way. We don't accept that type of energy here... If that's how you treat us after one day of not getting back to you, how are you going to treat us in other situations? Those are absolute red flags in two separate conversations. Ultimately it's very simple - all we ask for is a baseline level of respect and a little bit of patience. But we didn't experience any of that from you. Therefore, I declined you. It turns out that was the correct decision and I'm glad I could prevent Aly from dealing with that type of treatment. - Colby

They must get the bad reviews deleted or something because the professionalism is off staring with booking. The owner Colby reached out to me to book an appointment. I was in contact with him after he reached out but he never responded back untill i contacted the salon. I dont know if had to do with the fact i wanted Aly to do my hair instead of him. When i criticized the communication being horrible instead of apologizing and trying to make it a good experience he got sensitive and decides to not do my hair. Does anybody take accountability these days for dropping the ball. Everything doesnt go right, but i appreciate transparency and effort to work things out. In which Colby doesnt care about he thinks people know his personal life so we have to operate outside of professionalism. Sorry colby but i was a future customer and i dont know youre sick. I hope you get better, but not my fault!! Well Colby when customer feel they have to chase you down to get a service it kinda doesn't become pleasant one! A simple “ well get back to you” is a courteous thing to do. But ya know not everyone understand transparency. If you can keep up with the work have other employees help crazy man!

Had some issues with my locs (due to lots of frayed hair and “bubbles” in the loc) and needed maintenance done. Checked out the services provided by Dreadlock Central and decided to give them a try. Best decision I could have made. Jordan was excellent, fixed the issues with my locs and its the best they’ve ever looked. She has a new customer in me. Definitely going back.

I never leave reviews, but after my experience with Dreadlock Central, I feel it is my duty to leave a review. I have had my locs for 4 years and after continous retwist my locs became weak. I searched for loc repair online and came across Dreadlock Central. If you book an appointment in the DMV, Jordan will take great care of you. The booking process was easy to follow and I guarantee you will be satisfied with the results. Below are my before and after pics.

I had a great experience taking a chance & betting on Jordan to fix my roots of my locks. They had thinned out horribly & she was a miracle worker. She had an inviting & kind spirit. Most of all she had the hands for my head. She definitely gave me hope that, that would not be the end of my locks journey, as well as, that all that was now wrong w/ them, was fixable. I’d recommend her & her skills to all in need of a truly skilled Locktician, who listens to their clients needs/wants & aims to please w/ the end results speaking 🗣️ for itself in such a satisfying way. Thank you Mrs. Jordan from the bottom to the top of my heart.

Hey Peter! You're posting this review within 10 hours of your original form submission, when we clearly state on our intake page that requests for your area are typically quoted within 7 days. Here's the exact disclaimer for your area "New service requests for DC & Northern Virginia are typically quoted within 7 days." Clearly you didn't read over our disclaimers before submitting your request which is something I highly recommend that you do if you intend to work with us. Also you didn't give us much of a chance to get your quote written and sent back before you posted this review. I'd really appreciate if you remove this review since we are well within the timeframe that we state on our website. Otherwise if you're eager to get an appointment on very short notice you may want to consider finding someone else to work with since we must book in advance. Have a good one!

I had dreadlocks over a decade ago. They took two years to lock on their own due to my in-experience and naivety in that process. I decided to go with a more instant method this go around. My loctician was Nash. The whole experience exceeded my expectations from booking my appointment to finished product. Nash is very knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with. I can tell how passionate she is about her job and was just as excited as me, if not more, to see the finished product. She took her time and made sure the job was done right. Would recommend anyone interested in the VA, VB area to Nash.

I recently got instant lock dreadlocks from Jordan, using the crochet method, and the experience was fantastic. The entire process took about five hours, and Jordan was incredibly skilled and efficient. She was personable and pleasant, making for some great conversations throughout the appointment. I also had the chance to meet her husband, who was equally friendly. My dreads turned out great, and I can easily see myself booking another appointment. Highly recommended!

Need a Loctician who is an expert in their craft and won’t let you down? Look no further than Dreadlock Central. I had an extremely positive experience with licensed Loctician Jordan. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and a great listener. Best of all, she was a deft problem-solver and educator. You can tell she really cares about the health of your hair and your satisfaction with your hair. She also encourages her clients to learn how to properly continue taking care of their own hair long after they’ve left the studio. That is what makes her service so personalized and invaluable. Highly recommend (5/5 ⭐️) .

Jordan did an absolutely fantastic job fixing my dreadlocks! I had been to a salon to have them put in about seven weeks prior, and not only did they use a (very painful and damaging) interlock method, the dreads were incredibly messy, frizzy, and growing together. Jordan got them separated, crocheted, and looking spectacular! I was initially nervous they couldn’t be fixed, but what she did went beyond my expectations! Whether you’re just looking for some maintenance, or have a full-blown challenge like I did, I totally recommend Jordan for all your dreadlock needs…

Highly recommend Aly from Dreadlock Central for your NYC dreadlock needs!! I’ve had my locks for 16yrs and have been to several people over the years for maintenance. Some were nightmares (claiming to be expert in Caucasian locks) and I didn’t trust anyone to touch them again for years and years until I linked up with Coby and now Aly via Dreadlock Central. Now I go for maintenance every 4-6mos!! Aly has a beautiful salon in Brooklyn and is flexible to specific requests (ie: leave those hairs out so I don’t have bald spots).

Dreadlock central is the real deal offering EXCEPTIONAL service and value. They come to you! Such a lite hand, excellent extensions and great conversation with Colby. I'm sure all the stylists are great. No matter what kind of hair you have call them and accept no substitutes.

I’ve had the absolute best experience with Aly from dreadlock central! She maintains my locs with her crochet hook technique, and she is so quick and tight with her style of maintenance. She can cater to many different hair textures, and she is so delightful to spend a few hours in the chair with. Highly recommend!

Did a lovely set of partials and I love them so much I'm going to set up another appointment to do the rest. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking to get locs in central Pennsylvania. The whole team made everything easy and fun, can't say enough good about them!

Colby was my initial loctician and introduced me to Allison who would be taking care of my locs here in Georgia. Both of them are very engaging, friendly and I enjoyed meeting Allison and as always, talking with Colby. I had several months of new growth; Allison and Colby worked quickly, gently and my locs look great(as always). I've had the pleasure of having Colby and Allison work on my locs and I highly recommend them both and looking forward to my next session.

What an amazing experience!! I have been traveling to Jamaica for years to get my locks tuned up and now I have a spot in Atlanta. Colby and Allison worked on my locks together and really made the experience pleasant. I found them both to be professional on every level and they had thorough answers to all my questions. I have locks for spiritual reasons and they were so kind in understanding that and respecting my wishes. I feel like I have two new friends now. Looking forward to our journey together. 10 stars out of 5!!!

I never post reviews on Yelp unless I'm either extremely happy with a company or its service or livid with how I was treated, and I have to say that I am overjoyed with the service I received from Dreadlock Central. I finally got my locs done by Colby and Co. (first due to COVID, and then we moved),after waiting for years to do so. My appointment was in November of 2022. I was fortunate enough to have Mr. Colby himself perform my installation, and I couldn't be happier with the way things turned out. Because Colby is such a charming and intelligent young man, I always look forward to our discussions when I have appointments with him. When I have questions, he always responds, and he makes every effort to ensure that I understand what's being done and the advice offered going forward and that I am satisfied with the outcome. I would happily refer anyone to Dreadlock Central.

Absolutely ridiculous and unprofessional. After answering all the questions, sending all the photos, and giving all the information they ask, I heard nothing for over a week. When I tried to reach them again for another few days, I was finally told "Yes, we have a quote for your service ready, and we will be sending it to you in a couple days." Well, those couple days came and went, and no contact from them again. So, I spent another few days emailing and messaging to finally hear that "We are too busy to do it." So, after wasting almost two weeks of my time, I find out that they were either lying about having my quote ready, or they were lying about being too busy. Either way, it was about as unprofessional as an experience as I've ever dealt with. Save yourself weeks of frustration for nothing in the end, and choose another place. It's a shame you can't give zero stars.

Owner's reply
When you filled out our form you didn't include a last name or any way to differentiate you from another request from a "Mike" in our system. So when we were communicating on our backend we made a mistake between you and another Mike. And once we realized you were in a different city that was overbooked, that's when we told you we were too busy. However, the problem arose when you were being disrespectful to my team. Yes we made a mistake, and we corrected our system to require two fields for your name to prevent this from happening in the future. But the way you were treating my team was unacceptable and that's why we felt the need to decline you. I'm sorry this misunderstanding resulted in this outcome. (also, that I missed this feedback until today..)

10/10 recommend asking Colby to work on your hair. I put in my own full head of dreads last month, but they were quite loose, especially at the roots. After thoroughly researching all the different methods and loctitians, and despite being slow to trust anyone to style my hair for me, I requested an appointment through Dreadlock Central, and after answering all my questions (whether through what he’d posted on the website or in texts before the visit), Colby came to our house today and spent 8 hours working some magic on my hair. The dreads are now far neater and tighter; it’s a night and day difference. Colby’s also a great guy and wonderful to talk with. I have nothing but praise for his work! He doesn’t use wax or any other method that would damage the hair. Just a crochet hook. It turns out marvelously!

We loved Nash! And she did an incredible job with my dreads. I’ve had dreadlocks before and was unhappy with them and was looking for someone who could do them the way I wanted them to look and Nash did that and more! She made even and uniform dreads that matched the extensions I had brought and then she added the extensions seamlessly. She was also fun to be around for the two days it took for installation. If you’re looking for a loctician who knows what they’re doing, Nash is your girl.

I would like to go up in front and say that the Dreadlock Central team did a fantastic job with my locs. Before I did my locs with a lady from Trinidad in Brooklyn, NY and came out disappointed because they used the interlocking method a did come out as neat as I would like. And when I meet this team, they used a crochet method and that changed everything. I would like to give props to Colby for blunting my tips as perfectly as possible. Also Aly and Nash did great job doing the roots. I definitely recommend to give them a try ***** you won't regret it.

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!

Colby the owner is extremely unprofessional. Carlee is a horrible dread stylist. 4 of my dread broke in half during my 2 years with her. She is never available. She cancels and moves appointments and than reports you as doing that so she no longer has to have you as a client. I would never recommend this conay they have bad energy and bad vibes. Bad work ethic and bad stylists. Worst dread company hand down. Don't buy the walmart of dread and be fooled by these phonies

Owner's reply
Carlee and I talked about this situation extensively. What we're taking from this experience is for her to work on being as clear and precise as possible with her communication to reduce the likelihood of any type of misunderstandings in the future. However, here's the sequence of events as shown in the text feed between you and Carlee: - You booked an appointment before telling Carlee that you moved outside of our normal service area. Once you gave her your new address she had to reschedule you based on your new location. - The next appointment you didn't show up to. Therefore, Carlee charged you a down payment, which is our standard procedure for no-shows. Carlee followed up with you several times and didn't receive the down payment until several days later. Once she did receive the down payment, she booked you for her next available opening. - Then Carlee had a cancelation from another client and offered that day to you for August 26th at 10am, which you agreed to. The morning of the 26th she was already in her car and on her way to your location which is nearly 2 hours away from her place when you tried to change the appointment to Carlee's place at 11am instead. However, Carlee had an appointment immediately after you in Virginia which would've been on her route back to her place. We strive to book our routes efficiently. She already had an appointment after you so she couldn't go all the way back to her apartment without sacrificing the other appointment wither her other client that day. - Carlee got into some traffic delays on her drive to you and notified you at 9:17am that she would probably be a little late. Carlee arrived at 10:13am, 13 minutes late. You sent her a text at 10:04 saying you were 15 minutes away however, you weren't there until approximately 10:50am. - Other than Carlee hitting traffic on her 2 hour drive to your house all of these logistical issues where a result of your own cancellations and/or you being late to your own house. Once again, all of this is documented in your text feed with her. In addition to all of these scheduling issues, the fact that you proceeded to yell at Carlee is where I absolutely draw the line. She was shaking and anxious and trying her best to keep her composure. This impacted her appointment following yours that day. And she even had the patience to finish the job while you were constantly moving and yelling at her.. Also, to respond to your claim that " 4 of my dread broke in half during my 2 years with her" - Carlee informed me that you've been working on your own dreadlocks prior and during her time serving you. And the way you were "maintaining" your dreadlocks was by tying your dreadlock in knots, which we absolutely discourage. Early on Carlee advised you not to do your own maintenance because you were breaking your own dreadlocks by doing so. And you still went against that advice and proceeded to do your own maintenance anyways. Therefore we cannot take responsibility for your dreadlocks breaking off when you're maintaining them in a way that we advise against. And with all of that being said, that's exactly why I declined you from being served again. I refuse to allow Carlee or anyone else on my team to be treated like this. This type of behavior and ongoing logistical issues drain us of our time, energy, and attention that we could otherwise give to our responsible and considerate clients. - Colby

I would highly recommend this service to anyone looking to get their locs crocheted. Natallia was my technician, and I couldn't be any happier with the results. She was able to achieve in a few hours, what I couldn't in 18 months. Super friendly, professional, and a quick worker. Well worth the wait. Thank you, again!!

Natallia is a fantastic representative of Dreadlock Central! She is communicative, knowledgeable and professional. Natallia showed up to the appointment on time and wasted no time in doing my instillation swiftly and at a fair price. I'm extremely happy with my results and I'm looking forward to having her do my maintenance in the not-far-off future!

Cole came by early and performed miracles to my locs. Everything was flat and nappy and she did a great job at cleaning them and giving me the professional look I was going for. She kept good conversation and was respectful of me and my home. Will be using her in a few months for regular maintenance. All 5s from me!! Thanks Cole!!

Got my hair done by Nash- loved it. It locked up quick and I was ready for roots. Nash moved away. I was sad. I got a new person working on my head. Pain was dismissed as a normal routine part of the day and not an indicator something might be wrong. Three months later, my head hasn't stopped hurting from that day, this time about half of my head is unlocking rather than locking more, and about 5 of my dreads have all but broken off. She was ripping my dreads apart and ripping the roots into sections that didn't feel good and after they left- those "ripping fixes" that were attempted just made everything worse. Now I'm left with hair that's almost falling out and no idea who to call. With only one person in this area and no customer service beyond that, I am not eager to go back. I was even hesitant to leave this review. It's taken me months to speak up. Definitely will not ever go with the new person in this area. Sorry guys. I went to cosmetology school and my mom owned her own salon; I was taught to pay at least a cursory amount of attention to pain. I don't mind some normal tender headed pain, but this was not that.

Owner's reply
Hey Gabrielle, I'm sorry you had a bad experience with your last appointment. I can understand the pain may be unbearable at times. It varies greatly from one person to another, but unfortunately it's a part of the process for effective root maintenance. In order to do your root maintenance we have to separate the dreadlocks which can tug on the hair. If we don't separate the hair that bridges across multiple dreadlocks they'll just grow together and we wouldn't be doing our job. And I've personally trained our whole team and we all use the same method, some of us are heavier handed or lighter handed than others, but at the end of the day we work very basically the same. Honestly I'm not sure what to say about some of your dreadlocks falling out.. I've been doing this for well over 7 years and the only time that may have been an issue with any other clients was when they've had aggressively bleached hair or previously damaged hair for other reasons. And when the hair is that brittle I would tell the client and refuse to crochet it. Your hair felt completely fine to me. It was just another routine maintenance session like the countless others I have done over the years. I've been crocheting my own dreadlocks nearly every month for over 8 years. I have some damage at the ends, but that's because I have extremely fine hair to begin with and my dreadlocks are so long that I sit on them and tug and it starts to pull them apart over time. But I've never had issues with dreadlocks breaking off at the root unless the hair was previously damaged or brittle for some other reason. I also don't understand why you would say there's "no customer service". You have Nash's number, you have my number, we have an Instagram page, a Facebook page, and we have our contact page on our website. That's 5 ways you could've reached out to us. Once again, I'm sorry for the negative experience. We try to keep the experience as pain free as possible, but everyone's pain tolerance varies, and there's only so much we can do. If pain is an issue you might want to consider a free-form or palm-roll approach.

Sooooo I was in DESPERATE search of loc repair for thinning locs due to postpartum shedding around my temple. I stumbled across this sight after finding no PROFESSIONAL (anotherStory) stylist who can do crochet loc repair. Although convenient, I was extremely hesitant having a stranger come in to my home for services. HOWEVER, when I say Natallia was so warm, kind, & PROFESSIONAL. I was definitely pleased and impressed. I’m SOOOOOO happy with the final product. My locs are no longer thin at the root around my 1st 2-3 rows. I feel confident and happy with my hair. I can put it up and style it without fear of loosing my hair and pushing back my hairline. Forgot the gram... COME HERE.... CALL HERE..... use this business because in MY OPINION you will not be disappointed. (on a side note I had locs for 9 years and this is year 3 of my second set) didn’t realize how badly I needed this overall for the loose new growth as well. For sure 5 stars... 5 thumbs up and allll that!!!!! Thank you’!!!

Colby did a great job with my loc maintenance! My hair has been thinning and I was worried about losing my locs--this is my trademark look and I was really bummed about it. Colby suggested I think about shaving the sides, maybe for my next appointment. He didn't pressure me to change my style but I just went for it at this appointment and I Love It. He showed up on time, brought his own lights, was very knowledgeable and easy to chat with while he worked. His approach is pretty organic--he's not trying to sell products or using anything to tidy the locs except a little crochet hook. I'm very happy to have found Dreadlock Central and would definitely recommend them to anyone.

This was my first installation, and with my hair type I was a little nervous how they would turn out, but I couldn’t be happier. I decided I'm going to add length with extensions, and will definitely be using Natalia for that as well.

This is my fifth round of dreadlocks in 20 years and my first time choosing to do professional install. I am glad I did after researching Dreadlock Central. Shaneese worked on my new locks and did a fantastic job. I have very straight caucasian hair and it took about 15 hours of total work to get them finished. They are tight already and while I will have the young lock frizz for a while, they are so much better at month one than mine in the past were at about 6 months! That says a lot. Shaneese was great about scheduling me and keeping the dates and times planned. The price was reasonable also. It was good to get to know her some through this process. I would highly recommend her or anyone on their team. :)

I had an amazing experience with Dreadlock Central. I already had locks on 3/4 of my head but wanted to have locs installed on the other portion which I usually shaved and put designs. From the initial communication to the actual install, Colby and his team were amazing. I grew my hair out and waited for my appointment. I was kept in constant communication as far as the timeline to which I'd have the install; my hair type; who would be performing the install and inquiries about specifically what I wanted. Colby and Jesse performed my install. They arrived timely and were ready to get going. They explained how it would go and their guarantee. The vibe was so cool and I felt comfortable the entire time. All I can say is; I love my locs addition! It looks perfect and no one can tell the difference between the installed locs and my own. I'd definitely recommend Dreadlock Central to anyone looking to start a locs journey. It's been about a month now since I had them in and still perfect! Super professional and quality business:)

Dreadlock Central is an experience! I was initially blown away by the website presentation and how it provides so much detail in regards to everything that you need to know about the crochet method and dreadlock care in general. The Dreadlock Central team truly has a passion for what they do and will definitely give you promising results. My appointment was with Colby, he has such a positive spirit, has great communication skills and attention to detail. I really didn't know what to expect, but I couldn't be more happy!

Hi Carl! We are super happy to hear you found all our info on our site to be helpful! We are also thrilled that you had such a great appointment with Colby and that we were able to provide such a great experience for you!

Natallia is awesome. She was prompt, punctual, and professional! She satisfied all my needs with this process, being that this was my first time trying the crochet method. Fun to be around and we had great conversation throughout the process. Look forward to booking her again in the near future!

Natalia did an amazing job on my dreads! I came in for maintenance and she ended up transforming my whole head. And we had a great time to boot! Spent the first hour chatting away and then we watched some Netflix. She was very professional, very friendly, knowledgeable, and did a phenomenal job! Next time I'm in the area I'll definitely be giving her a call. I would 10/10 recommend her to anyone looking to get their dreads touched up, fixed, or installed. Thanks Natalia!

Absolutely amazing work done by Natalia. On time, professional, but not without being fun to work with. My dreads hadn't been maintained in 9 months and they were a mess! Natalia took the job on like a boss and left them looking and feeling the best they ever have! Great work ethic and a pure joy to have on your side. Can't wait to have her over again!

First time client of Dreadlock Central and Carlee was my locitician. I admit that I was a little leery about using this service because I wanted to be sure that there wasn’t going to be any damage done to my dreads. I read up about Dreadlock Central’s methods and thought I’d give them a try. I am over the moon satisfied with the work Carlee did on my dreads today. She was on time and her time estimate for the work was right on! The work is tidy, clean, and super efficient! I am totally a faithful client now and will highly recommend Dreadlock Central and Carlee to all my local dreadlocked friends!!

Hi Crystal! We are so happy that you had such a great experience with Carlee. She's awesome! And we are glad you put your trust in us to do it right. Our locticians always strive for excellence in their work so we are happy you got to see it translated to your locs! 😊

Natalia is great. She arrived promptly and began to set up her lighting and prep area. She was professional while putting me at ease. Her friendliness was inspiring. We felt like öld friends”by the time she finished. I’ve gotten my dreads twisted in Denver, Vegas, NYC, and Toronto. Her hands were gentle and I’ve can honestly state the she was the most gentle of all. She was skilled and my hair looks great. My dreads are 10 years old and they look fabulous.

Shaneese is so skilled at what she does, so kind and easy going, and she makes you feel so comfortable especially since they come to your own residence! I felt like me and my girlfriend bonded with her instantly!! You. Will. Not. Find. A. Better. Company. Or. Locktician. I’m so happy with the finished product, I will never go anywhere else..

I believe that Natille is not professional or properly trained to do professional dreadlocks. Natille does not know what she is doing. She made humongous parts in the front of my hair! When I ask her to take them out and redo the front immediately, she only implied that she would do one. A professional shop or stylist would not do this! Also she damage a chair at my home in which she did my hair! People if want it done right take the time to get it done right!!! Lesson learn for me again! I got the money now I have to wait six months again for my hair to grow back. I have been referred to the Loc King . Yes, he does have a shop!

Owner's reply
Hey Erika, I'm sorry that you're unsatisfied with the outcome of your appointment. After reviewing your form submission you stated 60 dreadlocks upon requesting our services. This is a standard question in our Intake Form that we've been asking every single client for years (however we're currently changing this section and relying more on photos rather than a specific numbers to avoid situations like this in the future, though this is the first issue we've had like this). You claimed that we recommended 60, which is not the case, you were merely quoted for the 60 that you originally requested. Also when you placed your online order for extensions you selected the option of "7-8 mm (order 80-90 for full head)" - we explicitly state in the purchase options that 80-90 count is for a full head, this is listed right on the selection, but you still placed your order for 60 without asking us about it. On June 30th you received your extensions, and we were texting back and forth. You had the extensions in your possession for exactly 20 days before your appointment. You physically had the extensions understanding the size and amount. Therefore, you had 20 days to change your mind or ask questions leading up to your appointment. The last time I talked to you after receiving your extensions you were nothing but thrilled, so as far as I could tell there were absolutely no problems and everything was on track. Then during your installation, Natallia took the time to show you the sections she created before she made them into dreadlocks. She asked you to look in the mirror to double check and you were happy with everything. She then hesitated, and explained that one section in particular was a little too big, she recommended re-sectioning the front and had you look in the mirror again, but once again you said you liked how it looked and that she should continue. So she did. Your sectioning will have to be a bit on the larger side when installing 60 extensions in Afro hair. Any salon would create the same size sections to achieve 60 dreadlocks in total. There's no way around that without having a larger amount of extensions available. I was also informed that you lost one of the extensions as well, which further adds to the large sectioning. Therefore Natallia did her best to install your 59 sections and extensions. When the appointment was done you were very happy with the results, but later you changed your mind. After your appointment you said you wanted dreadlocks the size of Natallia's which are around 120+ dreadlocks. This was AFTER all the work had already been done. Natallia offered to resection your parts at a discount. But instead of working with us we were met with nothing but hostility.. When a client is dissatisfied we always strive to reach a mutual agreement between our team and our clients to come to a positive outcome. We offered to change the front sections but you declined, so instead of working with us you decide to blame us when you changed your mind AFTER we confirmed that you were happy with the sectioning and all the work had already been done. All of these points were explained in the response to the last review you posted. Ultimately, I'm sorry for any assumptions, confusion or miscommunication that resulted in this outcome. It seems like you simply needed a larger number of extensions, and we wouldn't be having this issue at all. But at the end of the day, we did everything according to your request, double and triple checked that you were happy every step of the way, and ultimately you're the one that changed your mind after all the work was done. I'm sorry that it has come to this. We're willing to work with you on a solution if you're willing to work with us, but if not, we're sorry to see you go.

I waited patiently 4 months to get my hair done by Stay farrrrr away from the so called stylist Natille from Dreadlock central. ! My pictures say it all! She recommended the number of dreads to order and confirmed the style I wanted. Halfway through the style Natille knew we would run out of hair. Instead of asking me to wait another month ( I had already waited four ) she figure she rush through my head and this is what happened! I ask her the next day to redo to find yine to take out the front and we can redo it later since I can just put a cap on it and she reordered to do one plate ! How can dreads grow like this! That young lady is traffling snd so is Colby! Imthe so called stylist Natille from Dreadlock central. ! Stay farrr away stylist from Natille. My pictures say it all! The owner of the company has not contacted as of yet! I had to removed them out my head because I was told they were not most definitely a professional look for work and this would be challenged! I tried not to get this young lady feels at first but, this little girl is not comprehending! May she ember 300.00 little she earn off my head and by her some real beauty. May Coby enjoy the other 300 and keep taking his glorious pictures . I guarantee with this type of practice GOD will not bless this business or this young with a shop. As for me lesson learned I be fine . Peace and forgiveness!! sThe owner of the company has not contacted as of yet!

I understand your frustrations but we've done nothing but give you what you requested.

Yesterday, I personally received several texts from you at 5:23am and then again at 10:57am with a mostly non-descriptive block of text that I simply couldn't understand.. So at 11:37am I replied, asking if you could explain yourself more clearly. I sent you two texts, and never got a response back from you. Maybe my texts didn't go through, but I have screenshots with dates and times to show all of this. So instead of getting a response from you I wake up to this review. When a client is dissatisfied we always strive to reach a mutual agreement between our team and our clients to come to a positive outcome.

Shaneese was absolutely amazing! She was punctual and a beautiful soul, easy to talk with, intelligent and fast. What took another salon 7 hours to do and still not finish completely she did in a little more than four hours.... I can’t tell you how wonderful my dreads look after she was done. The roots were tight and all of my loops and bumps fixed.... I was so amazed I booked my next apt. right away.

I’ve been on my Loc journey for a little over 2 years and Dread loc central of America was a God Send for me after the DMV was hit with COVID -19. Cole was my consultant from the Northern VA area and she was able to revert the negative results of a failed interlocking process and fully restore my locs w/ full crochet. Her professionalism and knowledge of hair texture is top notch and I would refer her to anyone looking to either begin the locing process from scratch, in need of loc maintenance, or are just an individual who likes things done right the the first time. Give them a call today and tell them Cory sent you!!

First and foremost, I never leave reviews. But, I'm so happy with my loctitian (Shaneese is amazing), the whole Dreadlock Central process (initial form submission, scheduling, dread education, etc.), and of course the final product. Although I know many people who have had dreadlock journeys of their own, this is my first time... technically I had freeform dreads in high school, but I didn't keep them long enough to call it a journey. Over the past year, I grew my hair from bald (no guard) to an afro with the intention of installing dreads. Throughout that time, I did countless hours of research regarding styles, methods, maintenance, and everything dreadlock. The first thing I realized is that the amount of information out there is overwhelming. But, for a number of reasons, I ended up thinking that Dreadlock Central's understanding of the crochet method could be a good fit for me. I wanted a cleaner approach with natural products, to limit build up and grime. I was instantly drawn to Dreadlock Central's similar philosophy. A few days after filling out their initial form, I was contacted by Shaneese. She's amazing. I blew her phone up with questions to make sure that I was making the right decision for me. I honestly do not think she could have been any more helpful than she was. She gladly answered everything (honest and upfront). Initially, we had differing opinions on the size and quantity that would be good for me and my hair type. I wanted dreads on the smaller side, and she wanted to make sure they were healthy and strong. We were able to exchange pictures and find one that fit the style that I was looking for and that she felt would stay strong enough throughout the growth process. The last thing anyone wants is to go through this process, only to come away with unhealthy or thinning dreadlocks. After figuring out a few details, I was able to get onto her schedule. She came to me, so the convenience factor is off the charts. By the time she arrived, I felt like I already knew her. It didn't feel like inviting a stranger into my home. It was more like having a friend over to the house. We chatted for a few, and then she got started. The conversations continued, so it was never awkward. But, throughout the entire process, she stayed professional and was clearly invested in my experience and cared about my dreadlocks. This is not just someone who is capable of doing the install... it's someone who cares about the install. The personal feel was amazing, and I truly made a dread friend that I know I can turn to with questions throughout my journey. I'd be lying if I said that I wasn't still nervous leading up to my appointment, in spite of the research I had done and the prior conversations with Shaneese. But she put those worries to rest within the first 10 minutes of getting started. By the end, I was almost in tears with joy. I definitely recommend Dreadlock Central. Thank you guys.

It has been almost 72 hours since Natallia installed my likes and I haven’t stopped smiling. She is highly professional yet warm. She patiently answered all of my questions and made helpful suggestions about hair care. My resulting locs were better than the style that I requested and I will continue to be a Dreadlock Central customer for the rest of my loc journey. I can not give her services a high recommendation. Additionally, Colby was quick to help provide the hair that I needed on short notice and with great quality. I would give six stars but I’m currently limited to five.

Thank you so much for the review! We are so happy to hear Natallia could bring so much joy and excitement for you and your new locs!! We love to make sure our clients are happy and satisfied with the outcome, we are excited we could do that for you! Enjoy your loc journey!!! 😊
