The Dreadlock Blog

As a loctician you need to start to be conscious about what you are doing with your body, because sadly if you do not take care of yourself you might end up destroying your body and you might need to move to another profession. In this training I'm talking about all the different things you need to think of so that you can have a more holistic aprotch to your work.

In this training I will teach you the 5 pillar concept of getting more clients as a loctician.

Learn how to market yourself in order for you to thrive as a loctician and get the clients that you do want to serve in your business.

I wanted to share some of the work that I do in the salon so I have gathered some photos for you to see the transformations that are taken place in the Seienstyle salon. All of this work is made by me Ann-Marie the owner of Seienstyle.

Here is a before photo of Karolina that came to me with a wish of having loooong blond dreadlocks. 

Here you have the finished dreadlocks with extensions, that I made of human hair, the process is that I first create a dreadlock of my clients own hair and then I add the human hair to make a longer dreadlock.

I have mixed several colors to match my clients hair.

Karin was super exited to have the long dreadlocks that she always dreamed of.

This is Constanca from Portugal that contacted me after trying to created her own dreadlocks with her sister and they soon realised that it was not as easy as they thought it would be. The result was not as the dreadlocks that Constanca was dreaming of.

Here is another photo of Constansa before her...

Something that I hear over and over again is that alot of locticians are affraid of that there are to many locticians in their area and that do not get enough work. 

In this video I adress this and help you shift your perspective around this. How can you turn it to that I'm just in the right place, I just have to find the right way to market myself so that the clients that I'm ment to serve will come to me.

The last weekend in February I got to spend together with 15 locticians in different stages of their  loctician career some are just starting out and some have over 10 years of experience. To be a loctician can be a lonely road becuause there is not there many locticians out there so it has been super important for me to be able to build up a community for the locticians that I educate and to give them something that I did not have when I started out over 20 years ago. 

These girls traveled from all over the world to come to this training and to get more experience and not only learn from me but to learn from echother.

Anticipation before starting the first hairmodel of the weekend.

This is our first hairmodel she flew in from Uk just to be our hairmodel, she was not happy with the dreadlock extensions that she had, she thought they feelt boring and dead in the color so we took some of them out, totaly and made new dreadlocks and we extanged all the dreadlock extenders...

Follow along a day together with Zarah when she did hands on loctician training together with me. The prodject we had was another Seienstyle student Krista being our hairmodel. She was not happy with her dreadlocks and she needed a change. 

Alot of color and bleach had broken Kristys dreadlocks. 

Follow along in our day in the video above! 

Dreadlock education: putting on bleach on dreadlocks can make the hair very dry and make them start to break apart.

Here you see that her own hair is moving away for her extension due to the quality of her own hair and the hair extension due to chemical treatment.

Zarah and Kristi enjoying themselfs.

We were cutting off the dreadlocks totaly and just started to extend the dreadlocks as close to the root as possible.

More dreadlocks are in the creation.

We have mixed up about 4 different hair colors in the dreadlock extenders for the new dreadlocks that we are creating.

I do not only offer hands on loctician training...

Follow along a two days hands on loctician course together with Kristi from California that is now on her way to get her loctician certificate. 

We start with going through the basic dreadlock technique of the Seienstyle method of doing dreadlocks.

Kristi has been practicing at at home through my online videos and now we are going through to see if she is doing everything the best possible way.
