    Mariah is the absolute best at the beautiful art and craftsmanship of dreadlock creations, removals and hairstyling of all types. The icing on the cake is she’s also super chill, positive and just a real pleasure be around. Not pressuring or overbearing, doesn’t talk to much or too little. Keeps a sterile and clean salon space. I had my 25 year old dreadlocks removed by Mariah and she amazingly was able to save so much of my hair! I spent 10ish hours with her, so I can testify to her character and work ethic. I definitely recommend!

    Mariah is awesome. She helped me begin my dreadlock journey nearly 3 years ago and I’ve been seeing her regularly ever since. I’ve changed a few things about my dreads throughout my journey, including getting them cut, trimmed, and colored, and I have absolutely loved the result every time. Not only is Mariah an amazing loctician, but she is also a great person and you can tell that she really cares about both you and her work. I can’t imagine myself going to anyone else. Thanks so much for everything Mariah!
