Anyone with dreadlocks is dirty.

Not true!! Dreadlocks need to be washed at least once a week.

Not combing your hair is the only way/best way to make dreadlocks.

This is called the Neglect method, this is how cavemen made dreadlocks, by just not doing anything to their hair. Thank the Lord we have found new ways to make them because this method take at least a year and the hair doesn’t even look like dreads during the time, and many people who have made dreads this way have ended up with such severe dandruff cases they had to cut their dreadlocks off and start over, usually with the backcombing method.

Backcombing is not natural.

Backcombing is just about the most natural way to make dreadlocks. Anyone who tells you this doesn’t know much about dreadlocks.

Only black people can have dreadlocks.

Obviously the person who told you this has never see anyone who is Asian, Indian, or Caucasian with dreadlocks. Dreadlocks actually look very nice on Asian, Indian, and Caucasian. Many people believe that dreadlocks actually were first wore by the Asian Indians that crossed over from Asia and Europe to Alaska and Canada. Dreadlocks were also wore during Biblical times by John the Baptist and Samson. Dreadlocks were also worn in the 1400-1500’s by Asian Emperor’s.

  2. I started taking my son the salon in August 2008. At first I was unsure of the atmosphere and whether it would actually be a good place to continue going. However, over the months we have been going it has been a Wonderful experience. I get discouraged about my son’s hair and Jese always knows what to say to ease my mind. This is a wonderful place and I would recommend it to anyone. I can also walk in the salon in a not so good mood and walk out with a smile on my face. This is an awesome place!!

  4. I’ve been coming to the salon for my locks since August 2009. I was immediately impressed with the atmosphere of the shop and how Jesse took the time to explain the locking process, even providing a written summary.

    The shop is always clean, the atmosphere quiet, and the patrons work fast and professionally.

    I’m more-than-pleased with Jesse’s work, as my locks are developing well. I also can attest that their other stylists and barbers do quality work as well.
