Tamara is an amazing dreadlocks artist. She has been maintaining my locs from the very start of my journey and I couldn’t be happier. From tiny baby locs to mature, long, thick locs she has helped me take beautiful care of them. Regular maintenance has been key and her detox service is amazing. Her artistry…

I travelled all the way from Southern Ontario Canada just because I became obsessed with Tamara’s work seen on her socials. She started locs for me in her cute little studio. It was so calming and fun to be there, to meet her and chat while she created my hair dreams! I am in love with my hair and so wish I lived closer to come back again!
