Our Story
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 13 years now and have a wealth of knowledge that I have learnt over these years. I originally learnt to dread by trial and error on my own hair and on my very patient ex husbands hair. Currently I am doing some career development with Seienstyle to learn some new techniques that are gentler for both myself and my clients. I have also done some training with the amazing Jordan from Elemental Locks.
I work from my lovely home in Bristol as this works well for my son and I. I have a dedicated Dread Studio that is calm and welcoming. It has a super comfy chair for you to sit on while I work on your hair. I stock lots of dread related products for you to purchase from Shampoo's and hair oils to beads and hair ties. I also have a selection of incense, tinctures and prints of my beautiful art work for you to purchase.
