Tidy-ups are for tidying up all that fuzzy hair, lumps & bumps. You can have a general tidy-up on the roots or a full tidy-up (down the lengths too).
I also offer more intensive rework, which involves some of the following- completely re-sectioning the dreads, strengthening broken or thin dreads, extending some of the dreads which have broken off to make sure all the dreads are a similar length again, or just generally Mending dreads which have been done using different techniques and therefor not locking up well. This is called an 'Intense tidy up'. If you feel this is something you may need, please add this to your message when contacting us and we can arrange to allow enough time to do this. If you have had your dreads done with Wax & you would like us to do an intense tidy-up, we ask you to remove the wax as much as possible before you come to us (see FAQ page for instructions).
It is completely down to the individual on how often you decide to have your Dreads tidied up. We advise people not to do it more than every 8 weeks as this is detrimental to the health of your hair. Most of my clients come around every 4 months. However, the older the dreads get the less maintenance they need.
*Estimates only. EVERYONE'S HAIR IS DIFFERENT, SO IT'S ALWAYS BEST TO SEND PICTURES WITH YOUR ENQUIRY SO THAT WE CAN GIVE MORE ACCURATE PRICES.
Ellie is so welcoming and tamed my fluffy unruly roots so quickly. The end result was comfortable and neat. Thanks! Will definitely be back!

I messaged Ellie as I’ve wanted dreadlocked hair for so long but hadn’t found anyone who did the tight, beautiful locks I wanted. We exchanged lots of messages, sent photos of my hair and discussed lots of styles I had my appointment yesterday. I can’t tell you how beautiful my hair is. Ellie is so adapt at locking hair. My locks are really comfortable but well locked and I’ve loose ends which make them look so pretty! Ellie took her time to check in with me throughout the process to make sure everything was ok. I will definitely be going back to maintain them. On top of this, Ellie is a truly beautiful soul. Getting to spend time with her is a real blessing in itself!
