We work out of our home in Sydney's beautiful Blue Mountains which is the perfect place to take in a bushwalk or a funky cafe afterward you have your dreads done.
During the cooler months we pop you in front of our toasty log fire, serve you a chai and put on some great TED talks, documentaries or movies.
Situated only a short stroll from the spectacular Minni Ha Ha Falls, you can also tie in your visit with a walk down to Minni Ha Ha and during the warmer months enjoy a dip under the waterfall.
Dreadlocks Blue Mountains
Enjoy the bushland setting and bird songs as you get your dread work done with us.
Good Vibes & Clean Air
Katoomba is known for its misty cliffs and a creative, alternative spirit that draws artists, travelers, and free thinkers. Dreadlock culture here is an active expression of individuality and a laid-back, countercultural lifestyle that fits the towns relaxed pace. Combine your dread work with a visit to our vintage shops, witness lively buskers and enjoy cafés where the dreadlocks community is part of a broader ethos of self-expression and openness.
Understandably, not everyone is looking to take in a Blue Mountains experience with their dread work.
We also offer a mobile dreadlock service where we can come to you. Parents of toddlers, or those with super busy schedules find this to be a great benefit we offer.
Typically we cover Penrith, Blacktown, Campbelltown, Parramatta & the Sydney CBD.
Tomslin’s Visit To The Blue Mountains
“I am a dready and dreadys need their dreadlocks groomed every now and then. Having moved to Sydney I jumped on the Internet and searched for a loctician and viola! I found two that stood out. Now I had to choose which one to go to, and though they both were charging the same, their locations was the immediate tie-breaker.
One was in a town close by, while the other was in the famous Blue Mountains. They mentioned they can come to their clients, but the sound of ‘going up the mountain to repair my dreadlocks’ sounded like a phrase out of a book about ancient African societies. So I told them I’ll go to them.
Woke up early, jumped on the train and when the landscape presented itself, I realised I hadn’t thought of what to expect. It was a beauty! So beautiful I decided to make the 30mins walk to where my locticians lived/work from. (Just on the edge of the woods).
After the grooming, I decided to take a little walk to one of the mountain sites, the Three Sisters, and that is where the real thrill began. A simple ‘check-and-leave’ walk quickly turned to a bushwalking trail walk down the 800 steps, Giant stairway to the base of the Katoomba falls and back up. I couldn’t get enough of this breathtaking rock formation. I was in some kind of a landscape lovers’ heaven. The descent was very intimidating and scary (I must admit I almost abandoned the idea of going down to the bottom), but exciting nonetheless. Needless to say I met many people along the trail who gave up on the task of getting to the bottom.
To finish the day, (as expected, by this time I was very hungry), I stumbled upon a rare find for a foodie like me, a restaurant designed like a hobbit’s house. It felt as if I had become small like those small people and I was in the movie The Hobbit! The waiters and waitresses even dressed like hobbits and the food too was great, organic.
I left the Blue Mountains with groomed dreadlocks and an adventure experience I will never forget.
After getting some new dreddies, I got dropped at the lookout for the Three Sisters. I still had a good chunk of the afternoon left, so want to see as much of this area as I can. The mountains and forest seem to go on for miles. It is one of the most beautiful places I’ve seen in Australia since I came here. I get to the Giant Steps, a 900 piece staircase that takes you down the cliff. Sounded relatively interesting – and how hard could it be. When they say down the cliff, they mean quite literally hanging from its edge! Sometimes there is nothing but a steel railing between you and the drop down. And of course, I was going down instead of up, so I was getting views all the way to the ground floor. From the bottom, you have 2 options. One is to go through a forest walk, the other is to head towards Scenic World, a part of this park that specialises in a cable car and the worlds steepest railway. I decide to try the railway. There’s several waterfalls along the way too – and though I clearly missed it, judging from the wet swimsuits there’s probably a few places to swim as well. I ended up making it to Scenic World in about 70 minutes – well in time for the last train. The railway itself crawls up a cliff face with a very sharp incline similar to that of a roller coaster. It is not a sheer drop, but just a few degrees short of it. It was a hoot and well worth the experience!
