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 13 years of my career, I've never said, "i don't want to go to work today"

I am also one of the creators and educators of the "Dreadlock Artist Collective", a community and education program for dreadlock artists worldwide. I am also the Wholesale Director at Dollylocks Professional Dreadlock Products, connecting other dreadlock artists with an entire product line they can trust for their own clients journeys.

Hello! My name is Jenna and I am a creative, a master colorist, stylist & dreadlock artist. In the last 16 years of my career I have  fallen in love with so many different areas of this industry... vivid colors, balayage, dry hair cutting, mens cuts and even the simple beauty of single process color. Then came the day I started my own dreadlock journey... and it seems the hair gods had a plan to to lead me down a new a path to discovering the art of dreadlocks. After a year of locking and loving my own hair I felt a deep desire to understand this process even more and I sought out more knowledge and education on how to create and maintain dreadlocks. I was trained extensively at Rebel Rebel Salon here in Philadelphia and I am so thankful for that opportunity to learn and grow my skillset and to have the opportunity to connect with my dreadlock clients that have found their way to my chair. My career has never felt this fun and fullfilling.  I am excited to announce that I am now happily taking my own clients and beginning my own entrepreneurship as an independent artist.  I am excited to share this studio with Crissa and to have a beautiful, safe and supportive space to offer up to all of my clients whether you have dreadlocks or not. I am excited to see where this part of my journey leads me and I look forward to all of the new & wonderful  people that I will be meeting along the way. It is my goal to assist each and every one of you within your journeys in a way that feels supportive and good to you.
