The Starting Point: Finding Volume for Fine Hair
Nadera first found Dreadshop through social media. At the time, she was looking for a way to add length and volume to her mohawk, but she had a common concern: her hair is very fine.
For many people with finer hair types, the fear is that dreadlocks might feel too heavy or look "sparse." But at Dreadshop, we believe there is a technique for every hair type. From her very first visit to our previous location, Nadera saw that with the right approach, she could achieve the lush, voluminous look she’d always wanted without compromising her natural hair.
The Choice: Thin Locks of Love & Color Freedom
Nadera has been a regular in Diane’s chair for over three years now. Because she loves the versatility of synthetic sets, she has mastered the art of the "Locks of Love Transformation."
- The Texture: She consistently chooses our Thin Locks of Love. Their handmade, lightweight structure is the perfect match for finer hair types, providing a lush look that doesn't put stress on her own hair.
- The Colors: Nadera loves to play with her aesthetic! Over the years, she has worn various colors and lengths, including Ash Blonde, Grandma Gray, Sand Storm and her latest favorite, Violet by Di & has a new, custom set coming!
- DIY Styling: One of the reasons Nadera stays so happy with her look is how easy it is to maintain. She even curls her sets herself at home, taking what she learned from our tutorials and making the style her own.
The Salon Experience: A Bond Built Over Time
One of the most special things about Nadera’s visits is the routine she’s built around them. She always makes the trip from Belgium with her husband. While he enjoys a walk through the area, Nadera settles into the chair for her transformation.
During the appointments, Nadera and Diane talk about everything: the highs and the lows of life. Over the last three years, a natural bond has grown between them. It’s this personal connection, combined with the quality of the results, that makes the travel time "absolutely worth it" for her. Nadera is a loyal customer simply because she’s happy; she knows she won’t find this specific quality of service or dreads anywhere else.
A Family Affair: Passing on the Dreadlock Love
The dreadlock lifestyle is clearly contagious in Nadera’s house! Her daughter has joined her at the salon several times to have her own dreads installed at the same time. While Mom prefers the thin sets, her daughter has experimented with the Original Locks of Love in vibrant shades like Lavender Burst. There is nothing we love more than seeing a mother and daughter rocking their unique looks side-by-side in the salon.
