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!

My hairdresser works out of Judy Jetson, but that's really not the place to go to start locks.
What is your natural hair texture?
For professional-looking locks, I'd suggest googling sisterlocks and find a local provider.
