Spiritual, Stylish, and Seriously Fun: Meet Laura and Her Synthetic Dreads

If you’ve met Laura in the salon, you’ll know she’s all about creative hair that feels as good as it looks. One of her favourite things? Synthetic dreadlocks. Bold, expressive, and full of personality, they’re more than just a style — they’re a vibe. We sat down with Laura to chat about who they’re for, how they work, and what makes her installs a little bit magic.

Q: What inspired you to start offering synthetic dreadlocks?

A: I’ve always loved alternative styles that let people express themselves, and synthetic dreads are such a fun, creative way to do that. They’re semi-permanent, so people can try out bold looks without the commitment of locking their natural hair — it’s a way to play, to protect, and to feel amazing.

Q: What kind of clients are synthetic dreads good for?

A: Honestly, anyone! They’re great if you want to switch things up, protect your natural hair, or add volume and length. I’ve had clients come in for festivals, spiritual journeys, holidays, or just to feel like a badass version of themselves every day. They’re also amazing for people growing out damage — a protective style that still feels super empowering.

Q: What can people expect during the appointment?

A: We’ll start with a relaxed consultation to chat about your vibe, what colours or textures you’re drawn to, and whether you want a full head, a half-head, or some peekaboo sections. I’ll match the dreads to your natural hair, braid them in securely, and make sure everything feels comfortable and looks great.

Q: How long do they last, and how should clients care for them?

A: They can last around 6–8 weeks with good care. I’ll give you a full aftercare guide, but the basics are: keep your scalp clean, don’t over-wash, and wear a sleep cap to stop friction. They’re low-maintenance and easy to live with once you get used to them.

Q: What makes your dreadlock installations unique?

A: I love boho, witchy, colourful vibes, and I hand-select or custom-make dread sets with that in mind. Every install is tailored to the client — it’s not just a hairstyle, it’s a statement. I also work gently and patiently to make the experience chilled and fun.

So, whether you’re looking for a festival glow-up, something protective while you grow, or just a little everyday power hair, Laura’s got you. Her love for creative, feel-good styling shows in every install — and every strand. Ready to play? Pop in for a chat and find your next statement style.
