Relaxing Lockdown

JataDreads Update ~ Opening up for Bookings.

Date for the relaxing of lockdown might be July 4th, nothing has been confirmed yet. I will keep you updated.

It is very important that you take into consideration, that I am in the high risk category, I have asthma.  My asthma is controlled, however, asthma is a respiratory condition, therefore I will be taking all necessary precautions to ensure my health and safety.

Information of what to expect on the day of your appointment.

Please do not use public transport to get to us.  If it’s not possible to walk or use a bicycle, then you must ask a member of your family living in the same household, to drive you to your appointment.  Obviously, after your appointment, you are free to use public transport.

When you arrive, I will meet you at the car park that is close to where we are moored.  Unfortunately, I will not be as tactile with my greeting as I usually am, I will keep some distance between us, please do not be offended about this.

You will be asked to wash your hands as soon as we reach the boat and I will be asking you to wear a mask, which I will provide.  I will also be wearing a mask.

Weather permitting, I will have prepared a shady area for us outside, for me to work on your hair/locks.

All tools I use for locking, this includes combs etc, will have been sterilised.

More often than not, depending on how long an appointment is booked for, I prepared food as part of your day’s experience with us, makes me sad to tell you, that I will not be permitted to this for the foreseeable future.  However, I will provide teas, coffees etc, and you will have to keep your mask on and only remove it enough, to drink. Unless of course, taking breaks and go sit outside, we can then remove masks and enjoy refreshments.

I appreciate this is all very clinical, really not ideal, especially as our time together should be meaningful.  I will do my utmost best to continue to provide a space that is calming, positive and therapeutic.

When booking an appointment, I will confirm reiterating the above information, together with all the details you need to have, to get safely to our mooring.

Thank you in advance for your patience, loyalty and support.

Important Fee Notice

I’d like to begin with saying a huge thank you to everyone who has trusted me with their JataDread journey.  I am sorry that I have to do this but my hourly rate will be increasing to £20 as off 1st January 2018.  I don’t like having to do this but my study fees have also increased and I use all the money I earn from locking hair to pay for my Yoga studies.  I hope you all understand.

Fresh new locks, love love love love. When one makes that life changing choice, I’m so grateful that they choose me to help start that journey. Amazing experience locking these baby jata, we connected in so many ways. I feel I’ve made a friend for life.

04/12/16 Today’s tidy-up #jatadreads #dreads

Started these locks about 18 months ago. We took a risk, hair very fine and thin, I won’t get involved with extentions, am confident they are unnecessary.  18 months of patience with the maturing journey, locks are naturally thickening and beginning to feel like a human mane of strength.


This is what they looked like, fresh locks April 2015.
