Hi! My name is Crissa and I am a self proclaimed dreadlock geek and client professed “dreadlock sorceress”. My love for dreadlocks began when I started my own dreadlock journey in 2004. Through my own experiences with freeforming and other methods that didn’t work well for my hair I sought out tools & techniques that would transform my own and others hair into the most magical dreadlocks in the universe. I am a fully licenced cosmetologist, however I choose to exclusively work with dreadlocks only. I specializes in creating new natural dreadlocks, dreadlock maintenance, dreadlock extensions, dreadlock repair and reconstructions, unique dreadlock decor and even earning the trust of all the beautiful free forming souls that have found their way to me. I believe in DREADUCATING my client’s and other professional hair stylists to the fullest so you all understand the best and healthiest ways to care for your own hair and your client's hair throughout their journeys. My deep passion for this lifestyle and the inspiring conversation and deep connection with my clients is what has made it possible for me to say that in the last 16 years of my career, I've never said, "i don't want to go to work today"
