Dreadlocks

[beinneighe.livejournal.com]

Hey,

I'm looking to investigate getting my (white-person) hair backcombed and starting some dreads. My big question is: has anyone had the same thing done at a salon nearby? I'm thinking Judy Jetson would be the most likely place, but I've heard some icky things about that salon and am kind of torn about whether to try it. Would also take any advice about dreads in general... I'm harboring a hope that I can get them and still look professional (within the context of being a writer/Camberville resident) but am not totally sure whether some of the dreads I see that i like are real or extensions.

Thanks!

Out of curiosity, what bad did you hear about Judy Jetson? Has anyone else had negative experiences with them? I used to go to Hair Collage in Central but have recently moved to Porter and was hoping to find a place within walking distance to make my life easier, and had my eye on them since they look pretty funky and the prices don't seem too bad for around here either. Sorry to say though that I don't have any advice for you re: dreads.

I heard that their stylists tend to be less focused on giving you the hair cut you want and more focused on giving you the hair cut they want for you. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing, I guess, if that's what you're looking for. I also heard something about an employee being sexually harassed and the owner doing nothing about it--but that's all second-hand, I've never been myself.
