My dreadlock journey 2010-2023

My name is Stacey and I am the creator of Dreads ‘n’ Threads.  Dreads ‘n’ Threads was born in September 2014 when my son was nearly a year old. The company has changed a lot since its creation and is continually growing and changing to meet the needs of myself and my little family. One thing that will always remain the same is my passion and dedication to creating the most sublime dreadlocks possible and maintain them to keep them as healthy as possible.

I started Dreads ‘n’ Threads as I have always loved doing friends dreadlocks and sewing. I wanted to become a work from home mum so that I would be around for my son, Alfie.  In the beginning I was designing a clothing range and doing the dreadlock work to fund this. I soon realised that my passion and joy were ignited far more by creating and maintaining dreads than by sewing so the dreadlock work took over.  

I have had dreads myself on and off for over 15 years now and have a wealth of knowledge that I have learnt over these years. I originally learnt to dread bytrial and error on my own hair and on my very patient ex husbands hair.  I am a Seienstyle Affilate and I have trained with the amazing Jordan from Elemental Locks. 

I am currently operating as a mobile loctictian as I am going through a transitional phase with my living arrangements.
