Ready to turn your passion for dreads into a career?

Do any of these sound like you?

  • You feel stuck in your current job - unmotivated and craving something more creative.
  • You want to work for yourself, set your own schedule and leave the 9 to 5 life behind.
  • You love dreads but don’t know where to start: how to create them, attract clients or build a business.
  • You already have some experience with dreads but want to refine your skills and grow.
  • You’re excited but unsure if you can make it on your own and need expert guidance.

If so, this course is for you!

You can sign up whenever it suits you best. A new group starts every January, May and September, so once you’ve enrolled, you’ll automatically be part of the next starting round. This way, you can go through the course together with others who are beginning at the same time and become a certified Professional Real Dreadlock Stylist!

the Student Kit?

If you’re joining our Professional Real Dreadlock Stylist Course, the Student Kit is an essential part of your journey. Especially if you’re choosing Guided Group Access or 1-on-1 Coaching (it’s included in both).

In the course, we’ll guide you through techniques using specific tools and products. The Student Kit provides everything you need to follow along, practice confidently and develop your skills using the same high-quality materials we trust in our salon.

Even after the course, most tools in the kit will continue to support you as you grow your own business.

in making, maintaining, extending, caring for, decorating and removing dreads using Dreadshop’s proven method, on all hair types.

Creative freedom

Still Unsure?

If you’re still here reading, it means you want this. You just need to believe in yourself. So let us say it loud and clear:
You ARE worth it. You CAN do this.

Nope! You don’t need any experience. Our detailed videos guide you every step of the way. Plus, with homework feedback and coaching, we ensure you master the techniques before moving forward.
If you’re already a stylist, you’ll still learn valuable new skills to level up your craft and business.

You probably have unanswered questions, and that’s okay! Send us an email at academy@dreadshop.com - we’re happy to help you figure out if this is right for you.

If you choose the Video Access Only option, the Student Kit is not required - but we do recommend it, as it enhances your learning experience.
For the other two options - Guided Group Access and 1 on 1 Coaching - the Student Kit is included and required, since the course is designed to be followed using our specific tools and products.
