Dreadlock Course

Since learning how to do natural dreadlocks for people I’ve found a way to do something I love, connect with fascinating people, travel, become financially independent & lead a balanced, fulfilling lifestyle.

This level 1 Master loctician certification is a 2 Day program focusing on creating & maintaining dreadlocks as well as forming and marketing your dreadlock business.

It is Sydney’s only dreadlock school & the only course where you’ll learn how to dreadlock hair that is delivered by a qualified hairdresser & experienced loctician.
You can learn how to make dreadlocks by attending the loc classes at my Blue Mountains Retreat Centre or via online dreadlock training.
Both my level 1 & level 2 program (loc extension classes etc) can be accessed via zoom or in person.
What you will receive:
~Professional dreadlock training by a qualified hairdresser & experienced locitician.
~Business development & marketing skills to help you establish a successful dreadlock business.
~ Training manuals
~A starter kit of dreadlock tools which you can use to operate your dreddie business.
~Meals over the 2 day program.
~Access to a private Facebook group where you can find support & marketing assistance.
~An opportunity after the course to accompany Ginny at a dreadlock appointment to get more hands on experience & live training.
~A memorable couple of day full of connection with fellow loc lovers
Attend level 1 training & receive $300 off my advanced dreadlock training courses (Level 2)

Here's some of the participant feedback:
“I just finished my 1st level Dreadlock Locitician course today with Ginny from Dreadlocks Sydney and it was nothing short of amazing.”
“Ginny was very welcoming from the start and made me feel at home. She covered everything from forming dreads, maintenance and business advice on how to set up my own dreadlock venture.”
“I cannot recommend this course enough as it was a wonderful couple of days and I’m sad It’s over. Thank you Ginny for sharing your knowledge and helping me on this journey!”

Join us for our next course and make the transition into a new life as a loctician.

*This training can be done in a group setting, or entirely one-on-one for the same price
