Est. 2015

I am dual licensed in Cosmetology and Barbering and have a strong passion for Vivid colors! I am continuing my education in hair grooming to offer the best services I can to start, maintain and end my client's journey with. There is no end to education and I'm stiving to further educate myself, and also my clients.

My name is Ashli Booska and I started Dreadful Locks in 2015, so I could offer what some call "my magical hands" to those inspiring to start their dreadlock journeys, as well as keep their dreadlocks happy and healthy along the way! 
​
I jumped right into dreadlock reconstruction on one of my very first clients, and since then there hasn't been a mess I can't fix, so don't lose hope if you think your dreadlocks are "too far gone". 

The method I use consists of backcombing, a crochet hook and when needed a latch hook. I do not use any products when making or maintaining dreadlocks. Its 100% natural, organic and vegan friendly. Wax & gels can be very harmful to dreadlocks. My method is unique and much safer for the hair than most crochet/needle methods.

Dreadful Locks Studio is located in Manchester, CT 06042, By Appointment Only.

I provide a range of services from initial dreadlock placement, maintenance on existing dreadlocks, dreadlock repair/reconstruction, wraps/decorations, and human hair dreadlock extensions*. 

​*Please note, not everyone can have extensions added to their dreadlocks as some are too dense or mature.

At this time animals and children (who are not breastfeeding), are not allowed in the Studio, thank you for understanding.
