Aly

East Williamsburg, Brooklyn, NYC

Aly's Story:

Aly got her first set of dreadlocks installed by us back in 2019. After going through several phases and attaching her own extensions we eventually agreed that we should start working together. Aly already has a background with hair, working as a certified cosmetologist, so it was a very natural transition for her to start working with dreadlocks to serve our clients in NYC. If you’re willing to visit her private salon in East Williamsburg you’re in good hands with Aly!

Had the pleasure of meeting Aly who did an amazing job with my locs. She was warm and inviting and I'm so glad that I found her. If you're looking for crochet loc maintenance and you're in NYC you should definitely book her services. Her professional and demeanor is top tier.

Thank you Aly for getting my locs right. I struggled with palm-rolling and the over usage of products in my locs and not feeling like people cared about the craft. My locs look and feel a lot more healthier and thick. Definitely worth it!

I had the pleasure of having Aly repair my mature dreadlocks in Brooklyn, and I couldn't be more thrilled with the results! My locs were in desperate need of maintenance, and Aly worked absolute magic. She was incredibly professional throughout the entire process, demonstrating great skill and attention to detail. Not only did she do an amazing job, but she was also a pleasure to work with—friendly, patient, and truly passionate about her craft. Also, her salon was clean and comfortable with a chill vibe. I left feeling confident with my newly tightened and neat locs looking better than ever. I highly recommend Aly and Dreadlock Central to anyone looking for a talented dreadlock technician!!

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

Ally is AMAZING! I have had Locks for 30+years and some were on their last life on my head, many had fallen out. Ally saved them and repaired and added new ones. I am so happy with the results! Worth every penny wish I had come to her beautiful salon sooner ❤️🙏🏽

I began my loc journey with Dreadlock Central in 2020 and I must say that the team is simply amazing. However, for those residing in the NYC area, I highly recommend booking an appointment with Alysia. Her technique and attention to detail are remarkable and I always receive compliments!

I've had my locs for 7 years and I've been to several different stylist but Aly is by far the best doing crochet/Instant locs. It's pain free, great quality and Aly is very respectful with some good conversation.

I went to see Aly for some maintenance. She was super nice, friendly and I was extremely happy with the end results. After going to numerous places and being unhappy, I'm glad I happened to find Aly at Dreadlock Central. I definitely plan on going back.

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).

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!

Absolutely loved having Aly do my instant loc installation. I wanted something very particular, distrested soft dreads with the ends out. I asked so many questions and she answered them all. The dreads came out beautifully and every day I love them more. Aly was so warm and attentive it was the perfect place to start my loc journey. Thanks Aly!

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.
