Loctician Training in Columbus: Hands-On Dreadlock Training With the Seienstyle Process

By Ann-Marie Christell, Seienstyle

A first set of dreadlocks is a big moment

For many people, their first dreadlocks mark a turning point. A new chapter, a new city, a new sense of who they are. They have often been picturing this moment for a long time, sometimes since they were teenagers.

My name is Ann-Marie Christell, and I have been a professional loctician for over 26 years. I fell in love with dreadlocks as a teenager in a small town in Sweden, watching music videos and wishing I could have them. I know how much that first set can mean. That is why I want every first appointment to be gentle, and every client to love their hair from the very first day.

Why Columbus

Columbus is a young, growing city, home to one of the largest universities in the country and a lively mix of neighbourhoods, from the Short North and German Village to Clintonville and Franklinton. It is full of people at the beginning of new chapters.

There are many people in Columbus who have been dreaming of their first dreadlocks for years. A loctician who can create them gently, beautifully and without products can make that moment unforgettable.

What our two days together look like

Before we meet, we have a one-on-one video call to understand your experience and agree on your focus. The options include dreadlocks on natural hair, dreadlocks with extensions, maintenance, mermaid dreadlocks, synthetic dreadlocks and more.

Then I come to you in Columbus, and we work side by side on live hair models for two days. I show you how to section well, how to build each dreadlock so it matures quickly, and how to guide a first-time client through what to expect in their first weeks.

Frequently asked questions

Will first-time clients go through an awkward stage? With the Seienstyle process, dreadlocks begin to mature within two to three months, without the long awkward stage many people expect.

Does it work on every hair type? Yes. The method is inclusive across every hair texture.
